Jumbo Rainbow Bee

A bee was the first plushie I ever made out of blanket yarn. I couldn’t wait to have a soft chunky bee to cuddle in my arms.

It took me a few tries and since then, I’ve made several versions of the bee from small to large. But of course, the biggest one - the rainbow jumbo bee - is still my favorite! It’s the perfect cuddle buddy and I think it makes an excellent bed decor as well.

Of course, I had to share this pattern so you can make it too!

This bee takes roughly 2.5 to 4 hours to make! You can use soft chunky yarn like I did to make a large cuddle buddy or size it down with a thinner yarn! Examples of bees made with different kinds of yarns can be found here by my pattern testers

Find the downloadable PDF crochet pattern here or on Etsy, and make your perfect cuddle buddy or a colorful friend to decorate your couch or bed. You can also get this jumbo bee pattern and access to all my premium patterns on my Patreon.
