Here's the last little friend, Giulia bee. I made her for a friend from Spain... I hope she'll like her!

Body:

2) 6 inc (12 sc)
3) *1 sc, 1 inc* 6 times (18 sc)
4-5) sc in each sc around (18 sc)

Wings (make 2):
Use white yarn:
1) 5 sc in a magic ring (5 sc)
2) 5 inc (10 sc)
3-4) sc in each sc around (10 sc)
5) 5 dec (5 sc)
Finish off, leaving a long tail to sew the wings togheter.

For the legs I made 22 ch with black yarn, then insert the chain in the bottom of the body. Same thing for the arms but with only 18 ch. For the hand and the foot I used 8 little pieces of yellow felt and sew them at the end of the chain.

To make the antennas I used a black scubidù and I putted two little balls of yellow yarn at the top.

Sew the mouth and insert the eyes. Sew the wings together and then to the body. Attach the body to the head...
You've finished, enjoy you're buzzing bee!
