As promised, I made a description of the bee and a small MK. It's my toy author. It knits quickly, easily and therefore with pleasure.
A good gift for both children and adults. I have already tied such bees as a gift, if not a dozen, then about 8 pieces. It will be interesting to look with different expressions of the smiley face, but so far I have only been making a smile.
SBN - single crochet.
Tail - At the beginning of knitting, leave a thread of such a length that several stitches can be made. Black yarn to tie 7 air loops, turn knitting
With the second from the hook loop 5 sc, in the last loop 6 sc, to join them into the ring.
Next, knit the body in a circle on these 6 loops.
2 p. 6 increments = 12СБН
3 p. 1, sc 1 increase - repeat 6 times = 18СБН
4 p. Yellow yarn - 2 SBN, 1 increase - repeat 6 times = 24СБН
5p. - 3 sc, 1 increase - repeat 6 times = 30СБН
6 p. Black yarn - 4 SCN, 1 increase - repeat 6 times = 36 СБН
7r. - 5 sbn, 1 increase - repeat 6 times = 42СБН
8r. Yellow yarn - 6 sc, 1 increase - repeat 6 times = 48СБН
9r. - 7 sc, 1 increase - repeat 6 times = 54СБН
10, 11 p. Black yarn54SBN
12, 13 p. Yellow yarn 54SBN
14 - 17 p. Black yarn54SBN
18 - 20 p. Yellow yarn 54SBN
21 r. - 7 SBN, 1 decrease - repeat 6 times = 48СБН
22 p. - 6 SBN, 1 decrease - repeat 6 times = 42СБН
23 p. - 5 SBN, 1 decrease - repeat 6 times = 36СБН
24 p. - 4 sc, 1 decrease - repeat 6 times = 30СБН
25 r. - 3 sc, 1 decrease - repeat 6 times = 24СБН
26 r. - 2 sc, 1 decrement - repeat 6 times = 18СБН, fill.
27 r. - sc, 1 decrease - repeat 6 times = 12СБН
28 r. - decrease - repeat 6 times = 6 SB Tighten the hole, fix the thread.
The tail turned out a little on the side and sticks out to the side. Now with the help of the thread that was left at the beginning of knitting, we arrange the tail as we like.
Now order!
Before making out an attractive face, we determine where the top will be. Where the tail “looks”.
Spout
It is knitted in a circle with black yarn.
First a chain of 5 air loops
1 p. - From the second loop from the loop, we knit 3 sc, in the last loop, 3 sc.
We continue to knit on the other side of the chain: 3 sc, in the last loop, 3 sc. Total 12 sc.
2 p. - 3 sc, gain, sc, gain, 3 sc, gain, sc, gain . Total 16 sc.
3 p. - 16 sc.
Eyes
Both eyes fit in one piece in the form of a trapezoid.
1 p. - a chain of 10 air loops
2 p. - we knit 9 SBNs from the second loop from the loop
3 p. - 8 sc
4 p. - 7 sc
5 r. - 6 sc
We sew eyes along the contour with black color, sew pupil beads, we sew mouth.
Wings
Then along the edge you should definitely put a fishing line. Below in the photo you can see the difference. One wing is simply connected, and the second is already with the fishing line. We attach the line to the edge of the wing and tie it with a hook, at the same time grabbing the line.
Antennae
We put on the wire 2 beads and give it the form of antennae, we twist it.
Then we twist the wire with black thread. We fasten it below, leaving a little for sewing.
Sew on the antennae and wings and admire. You can tint a little cheeks with rouge. Done!
