Materials

I used 2,5 mm crochet hook for the body, wings and antennae
100% cotton yarn
Embroidery thread for the details
6×8 mm (or 5mm) oval safety eyes
Stuffing
Using these materials, the insects will measure approx. 14 cm
The yarn used is only a suggestion, and you can adapt to whatever you have at home.

Body and head

The base for the body and head is the same both insects. When making the bee, change colors as shown in the pattern. When making the butterfly, use the same color for the entire piece.

Don’t need to stuff.
Fold the wing in half and sew just the outside loops of each chain, leaving a long tail to sew the wing to the body.
Try to make the meeting of the 4 wings right in the center of the back. Looking at the butterfly from the front, make sure to overlap the bottom wing and add a few stitches to join the junction of the top wing with the bottom wing, making sure that the finishing is invisible.

Use your imagination to decorate. I made two circles in different sizes. Don’t forget to repeat the same pattern mirrored on the other side.

Antennae

(Bee and butterfly)

Chain 9, skip 2 chains, 1 dc, in this same chain, add 1 hdc and 1sc, continue on the
other chains: slst 6. Sew it on the head, using the center of the eyes as reference (safety or embroired eyes).

Cheeks

6 sc in the magic ring, 1 slst to close. Leave a tail for sewing.

Assembly

Sew the cheeks close to the eyes. Sew the wings and anteannae following the pics and corresponding patterns.
Use a finer thread to embroider the eyes, this will make the work look more delicate.
