Free Crochet Bumble Bee Pattern!

I saw these cute bees online and had to make one! Both my daughters loved them! I used snuggle yarn and a J hook! These cute crochet bees make really cute gifts! It measures 10 inches in length and 15 inches around. You can add more increased rounds to make it bigger or use a larger hook. This free crochet bumble bee pattern turned out so cute!
