How to Crochet Bee Bookmark with Little Flower for Students

The video introduces a fun project to create a small bee bookmark, suitable for personal use or as a gift.

Materials Needed

To complete this project, you will need:

• Green, black, yellow, and white yarn (preferably a blend of 60% cotton and 40% acrylic).
• A 3 mm crochet hook.
• Scissors.
• A darning needle.
• Stuffing material (fiberfill or similar colored yarn ends).

Creating the Bee Body

The tutorial begins with making the bee’s body using yellow yarn. It starts with a magic circle, followed by increasing stitches in subsequent rounds. The video then guides on switching to black yarn for a section, followed by alternating between yellow and black yarn for several rounds to create the bee’s striped pattern. After completing the final yellow round, the black yarn is cut, and the bee body is stuffed. The body is then closed by working decreases and finishing off with a slip stitch, followed by a specific closing method to avoid a bump.

Making and Attaching the Wings

The wings are made with white yarn. Each wing consists of a magic circle with single crochet stitches, closed with a slip stitch. Two wings are made in total. The wings are then attached to the middle of the bee’s body, specifically to cover the color-switching part. The yarn ends from the wings are used to securely tie them to the body, and then hidden within the bee.

Crocheting the Flower

The flower starts with yellow yarn to create the center, using a magic circle and single crochet stitches, then closed with a slip stitch. White yarn is then attached to create the petals. Each petal involves a combination of half double crochet and double crochet stitches, followed by a slip stitch to secure it. This process is repeated to form five petals around the yellow center. The yarn ends are then hidden using a darning needle.

Assembling the Bookmark

Finally, a green chain is crocheted to connect the bee and the flower. This chain is approximately 65 stitches long. One end of the green chain is securely attached to the back of the flower, while the other end is attached to the middle of the bee’s back, in between the wings. The yarn ends from these attachments are knotted and then hidden within the flower and bee bodies for a neat finish.

Yarn For Crocheting A Bee Bookmark?

The best yarn for crocheting a Bee Bookmark is medium-weight or worsted-weight yarn, as it provides good durability and stitch definition for small, detailed projects like bookmarks. Cotton yarn is an excellent choice because it has a smooth texture, ensuring clean and crisp stitches, and it holds its shape well without stretching. Opt for yellow, black, and white for the bee design.
