With its detailed design, including blue wings, striped bee body, and signature red bow, this miniature plush is perfect for Hello Kitty fans, bee lovers, and amigurumi enthusiasts alike.

Materials Needed for Your Hello Kitty Bee Amigurumi

Before beginning your Hello Kitty Bee crochet project, gather these materials:

  • Cotton yarn in the following colors:
    • White (for Kitty’s head and ears)
    • Yellow (for the bee body and accents)
    • Brown (for the bee stripes)
    • Light Blue (for the wings)
    • Red (for Kitty’s bow)
    • Black (for embroidery details)

Understanding the Hello Kitty Bee Crochet Pattern Terminology

This Hello Kitty Bee Crochet pattern uses standard Spanish crochet abbreviations, which I’ve translated and explained below:

  • AM – Anillo mágico (Magic ring)
  • Cad/Cadenas – Chain stitch
  • Pb – Punto bajo (Single crochet)
  • Aum – Aumento (Increase – two single crochet in one stitch)
  • Dis – Disminución (Decrease – two stitches worked together)
  • P.alt – Punto alto (Double crochet)
  • MP – Medio punto (Half double crochet)
  • Alt.tri – Alto triple (Triple crochet)
  • Pds – Punto deslizado (Slip stitch)

The Hello Kitty Bee Crochet pattern is worked in continuous spirals without joining rounds, unless otherwise specified. Numbers in parentheses at the end of each round indicate the total stitch count for that round.

Hello Kitty Bee Crochet Assembly Instructions

  1. Attach the ears to the head: Position the ears on top of the head, slightly angled outward. Sew securely.
  2. Connect the head to the body: Use the long yarn tail left from the head to attach it to the body. Make sure it’s positioned centered and facing slightly forward.
  3. Attach the wings: Sew the large wings to the upper sides of the body. Attach the small wings slightly below and behind the large wings.
  4. Add the bow: Position the red bow on the left side of Kitty’s head (from the front view) and sew in place.
  5. Attach the antennae: Insert the brown yarn pieces into the top of the head and secure, leaving some length visible for the antennae effect.
