Step-by-step description of the knitting process of Maya the Bee, Buzzer amigurumi

Each toy part is made separately. This makes it easier to crochet a bee, correct mistakes or maintain the proportions of the amigurumi product.

Head

To make Maya the Bee's head, follow this step-by-step knitting pattern using yellow yarn:

1. 2 VP are knitted in a circle in 6 sc.
2. 2 sc in one loop.
3. 1 sc, from the second loop knit 2 single crochets.
4. 2 sc, from the third loop make 2 sc.
5. 3 sc n, 2 dc
6. 4 single crochets, 2 sc.
7. Up to and including row 10, knit single crochet stitches.
8. 4 sc, 5 and 6 loops together.
9. 3 sc, 4 and 5 loops together.
10. 2 single crochets, 3 and 4 loops together.
11. The part is filled with filler, evenly distributed inside the knitted part.
12. 1 s.b.n., where 2 and 3 loops are together.

At this stage of the MK, several loops are left unclosed, a 15–20 cm long thread of yarn is pulled out for subsequent fastening of the head to the body using a needle.

To do this, a thread of the required length is secured to the loop with a needle using a knot. Then, the entire wig that the bee wears is extended in a circle using a crochet hook.

The head of the Buzz doll is made from flesh-colored threads in the following way:

Nose

The nose of Maya the Bee is knitted with yellow yarn in 2 rows around the circumference with 3 single crochets. After that, the thread is tightened and cut.

The nose of the Bee Buzzer is knitted with flesh-colored yarn as follows:

1. 6 without yarn over in KA (6).
2. 6 pr (12).
3. (sb n, dec) * 4 (8).

After which the thread is secured and cut.

Antennae

Maya's antennae are made with black yarn. They do not have a frame and will be freely placed on the head. To tie the antennae, perform a number of actions:

1. 2 VP are connected into a ring.
2. From them, 3 s.b.n. are knitted.
3. Continue similar rows until the desired length of the antennae is obtained.

After completing the rows, the thread is secured with a knot and cut.

The antennae of the Bee Buzzard are made with a frame. Initially, 2 balls are knitted according to the scheme:

1. 6 without yarn over in KA (6).
2. 6 pr (12).
3. (without yarn over, inc) * 6 (18).
4. 18 Sat n.
5. 18 without yarn over.
6. 18 Sat n.
7. (sb n, dec) * 6 (12).
8. 6 kills.

After which the black thread is secured, leaving about 0.5 m of free edge and cut off.

Eyes

The eyes of the bees Maya and Zhuzha are sewn or glued on when decorating the face. It is better to do this when assembling the finished parts of the bees.

Torso

The body of Maya the Bee is knitted from yarn of two colors: black and yellow. To make the body, knit in the following sequence:

1. With yellow yarn 2 ch, of which 6 s.b.n.
2. In each loop of the 1st row, make 2 single crochets.
3. 1 single crochet, from the next 2 loops 2 s.b.n.
4. 2 sc, from 3 loops 2 single crochets.
5. 3 single crochets, in the 4th loop 2 s.b.n.
6. 4 without yarn over, in 5th loop of 5th row 2 sc.
7. 5 sc in 6th loop 2 sc.
8. Single crochet stitches in black (quantity is the same as in the previous row).
9. Sat/N in black.
10. Single crochet stitches in yellow.
11. Sc with yellow yarn.
12. Single crochet stitches with yellow thread.
13. 5 sc, then dec on the 5th and 6th loops.
14. In black 4 sc, 5 and 6 stitches together without yarn over.
15. With the same color, 3 sc, 4 and 5 loops together without yarn over.
16. Similar to the previous row.
17. With yellow yarn 3 sc, 4 and 5 together without yarn over.
18. 2 sc, 3 and 4 loops together without yarn over.
19. 1 single crochet, 2 and 3 sc together.

The body of the bee Zhuzha is knitted much more difficult. Therefore, the following steps should be performed with precision using a black thread:

1. 5 b/n, (inc, sbn) * 2, inc, 22 sbn, (inc, b/n) * 2, inc, 11 sbn, 2 inc, 6 sbn (64).
2. 51 sb n, pr, 4 b/n.
3. 4 sc, inc, 60 sc (66).
4. 2 sc, dec, (4 sc, dec) * 2, 34 sc, dec, (4 sc, dec) * 2, 2 sc(60).
5. 60 b/n (60).
6. 4 sc, dec, (8 sc, dec) * 5, 4 sc (54).
7. 54 sc (54).
8. Knit through the back loops: 54 sc (54).
9. (7 sc, dec) * 6 (48).
10. (12 rows) 48 sc (48).
11. (12 rows) 48 without yarn over (48).
12. (12 rows) 48 b/n (48).

16. 43 sc (43).
17. 15 sc, (dec, 3 sc) * 2, dec, 16 sc (40).
18. 40 sb n (40).
19. (8 without yarn over, dec) * 4 (36).
20. (4 b/n, dec) * 6 (30).
21. (3 without yarn over, dec) * 6 (24).
22. Switch to a flesh-colored thread. Knit through the back loops (2 sc, dec) * 6 (18).
23. 18 no. (18).
24. 18 without yarn over (18).
25. 18 Sat n (18).

Hands

Maya the Bee's arms are knitted using the following method:

1. 2 ch close into a ring of 3 sc.
2. From the previous loops, 2 sc are knitted.
3. Likewise.
4. Single crochet stitches (similar to the previous row).
5. SBN.
6. Without yarn over.
7. 1 sc, dec to 6 loops in a row.
8. Up to and including row 12, single crochet stitches are performed.
