About humleungen (baby bumble bee and the pattern)
Baby bee is a sweet little softie that can be made with scrap yarn. It can be used as a cuddly toy, rattle or pram decoration. If it is going to be used as cuddly toy for a baby you can swap out the yarn for an alternative that has less halo e.g. merino or cotton. If you are making a rattle, I would recommend attaching the rattle itself into the toy to keep it secure.

Baby bee is worked from head to tail, It is worked in the round with increases and decreases. Magic loop is recommended as there are so few sts. The bee can be filled with toy stuffing or scrap yarn. After, two wings are knitted and sewn on at the end.
