Tie off and leave a long tail for attaching. You want to hold off on stuffing the body for now since we are going to attach the wings later.

----- Wings -----

Use White Yarn (Make Two)

ROW 1: Ch 2, 6 sc around (6 sts)

ROW 2: 2 sc, 4 sc in 3rd sc, 4 sc in 4th sc, 2 sc [repeat 2x] (12 sts)

When creating the wings it is important to not single crochet around the magic ring to create a circle. Instead you want to flip the ring around and crochet back forming a semi-circle.

After making the wings, you want to attach them to the bee's body. Than stuff the body and shape it as you do so.

----- Head -----

Use Yellow Yarn

ROW 1: Ch 2, 6 sc around (6 sts)

ROW 2: 2 sc, 4 sc in one [repeat 2x] (12 sts)

ROW 3: 2 sc, 3 sc in one [repeat 4x] (20 sts)

ROW 4-8: 20 sc (20 sts)

Attach the buttons to the head with your yarn needle and black string to make the eyes of the bee. Lastly, stuff the head and attach it to the body.
