Bees, they’re everywhere! Crocheted plush bees remain a perennial favorite so I thought I’d put my own spin on them by creating a crown and making a QUEEN bee.

The pattern is super simple so keep reading! If website patterns aren’t your jam, find the ad-free PDF version in my Etsy and Ravelry shops. The PDF includes step-by-step pictures to guide you in the process of making your very own bee.

A crocheted bear wearing a white and yellow sweater has a green backpack with brown straps and a rolled up sleeping mat.

Meet the newest member to join the Moonbeam amigurumi family: Everett the Backpacking Bear! And the most exciting part is that his pattern is FREE here on Moonbeam Stitches!

With a sleeping mat in his pack and a smile on his face, Everett is ready to tackle the trail. My husband and I used to backpack when we lived in the Pacific Northwest so I knew someday I’d have to create a backpacking character.

Keep reading for the free pattern or visit my Etsy shop or Ravelry store to purchase the pattern.

A crocheted amigurumi pig wearing a blue dress lays on a white background with a sprig of greenery. She's wearing a blue and white bow on her head. Primrose is a paid amigurumi crochet pattern.

Meet Primrose the Pig, my latest paid amigurumi crochet pattern! They say pigs adore the mud, but not Primrose. You can find her inside on a sunny window seat with the latest YA release and a bag of Skittles. Wouldn’t want to get that beautiful skirt dirty!

Primrose is crocheted continuously in the round from the top down. Her pattern makes an amigurumi pig about 7.5″ tall when crocheted with the yarn specified. The 10-page pattern has been tested by crocheters and includes multiple pictures to guide you with assembly.

You can find this crochet amigurumi pig pattern in my Etsy shop and Ravelry store. Tag me on Instagram at @moonbeamstitches and use the hashtag #primrosethepig and #moonbeamstitches to showcase your work!

A Riff on Hans the Bear

I go for a certain kind of aesthetic when it comes to amigurumi. I like whimsical and cute pieces that can fit into a nursery, a child’s arms, or on a shelf in your living room. My favorite pattern book by far is Animal Friends of Pica Pau by Yan Schenkel. I found this book early in my amigurumi life and it fits my aesthetic exactly. Of the 20 patterns included, I’ve made six and have plans for more!

And good news for us! Schenkel’s new book, Animal Friends of Pica Pau 2, just pre-released! If you order it now, you get the PDF copy immediately! Pre-sale ends May 11! You can find it on Amazon too but only the physical copy, which releases July 1, 2020.

My most recent creation started with the pattern of Hans the bear but I added flared sleeves and a skater dress. I kept the hat of the pattern but didn’t include the cowl or vest. And voila!
