Bumble Buzz

What's more fun then a new toy? Instead of heading to the store, I looked around my house and out of the yarn stash came a bee. The art of Amigurumi - crocheted animal toys is perfect for babies and young children.

Bumble Buzz started out as the base for a Medusa monster toy, but I threw out the instructions and it morphed into a bumble bee. I can't give exact instructions for him, but I crocheted the body, knitted the wings and sewed them on. I decreased for the neck and then increased again for the head. As I got to the end I sewed on the eyes antennas and created a loop for it to hang off a mobile. I stuffed it all with pillow stuffing from a pillow that is too full. What a great baby toy and kitty loves it too.
