Colbee the Bee - KIT

Pattern, Designed by Lauren Whitney of Crochet Ol!

What youll need:

My Basic Body pattern.
Regular acrylic yarn (#4) in 4 colors: Black, yellow, tan, white
E/4-3.5mm Crochet Hook (use a larger hook if your stitches are tight)
Two 18mm Black Safety Eyes
Poly-Fill or stuffing of your choice
Sewing/Tapestry Needle
1 pipe cleaner, cut in half and each piece folded in half

Abbreviations:
CH Chain
ST/STS Stitch/Stitches
SL ST Slip Stitch
SC Single Crochet
INC. Increase
DEC. Decrease
FO Finish Off
SM Stitch Marker

Size of Bee:
Approximately 14 from head to toe. Depending on tension, yarn, and hook size, your
mouse may turn out either larger or smaller than mine.

Notes:
Pieces are sewn separately and then sewn together
All body parts are crocheted in the round, so do not join at the end of each round
Use a stitch marker to mark the first stitch of the round, and move up as you work
The magic ring method is used to start each piece. If you do not prefer this technique, you can start
each piece using the following method:
o CH 2, then SC 6x into the second chain away from the hook. SL ST to join the round. This creates
round 1
