Crochet Zombee Toy Pattern – Creepy Cute Bee Amigurumi

Easy Crochet Zombee Bee Amigurumi Pattern for Beginners (Creepy Cute DIY Toy Guide)

Skill Level

Beginner.
You’ll practice the core amigurumi skills: working in the round, increasing, decreasing, stuffing, and adding simple embroidered details.

If you like learning visually, the YouTube video (linked above) is a great companion for checking wing placement, eye spacing, and the embroidery of the stitched “zombie” marks.

Materials

Based on the provided tutorial materials, you’ll need:

Plush yarn in:
- Green (main body color)
- Black (stripe color)
- Purple (optional accent; great for spooky vibes)
Thin red yarn (or embroidery floss) for zombie stitches
Small amount of black yarn or embroidery thread for the smile (optional)

Hook Sizes

5.0 mm crochet hook (as used in the tutorial)

If your stitches look loose and you see stuffing, go down a hook size. If your hands feel strained with plush yarn, try going slightly up.

Other Supplies

Safety eyes
Stuffing (fiberfill)
Scissors
Darning/yarn needle

Optional (but mentioned as an extra security idea):

A tiny dab of hot glue to reinforce wing attachment (use carefully and only if needed)

Key Abbreviations (US Crochet Terminology)

MR = magic ring
sc = single crochet
inc = increase (2 sc in the same stitch)
dec = decrease (single crochet 2 stitches together)
sl st = slip stitch
rnd = round
st(s) = stitch(es)

Special Notes

This crochet zombee bee amigurumi pattern is worked mostly in continuous rounds (spiral). Use a stitch marker to track your first stitch.
Color changes create the bee stripes. Keep yarn tails inside the body to weave in later.
Safety eyes are inserted between rounds 3 and 4, spaced about 4 stitches apart (from the tutorial).
Wings are sewn on before closing the body and are tied together inside for strength.

Step-by-Step Instructions

These steps use the information you provided and present it in a clean, beginner-friendly pattern format.

H2: Wings (Make 2)

Rnd 1: MR, 6 sc in the ring. Pull tight.
Finish: sl st into the first stitch to close. Cut yarn, leaving a tail for sewing.
Repeat to make two wings.

Beginner note: These wings are tiny by design—simple, fast, and cute.

H2: Body (Zombee Bee)

Start with green yarn.

Rnd 1: MR, 6 sc (6)
Rnd 2: inc in each st around (12)
Rnd 3: (1 sc, inc) repeat 6 times (18)
Rnd 4: (2 sc, inc) repeat 6 times (24)
Rnd 5: sc around (24)

H3: Stripe Color Changes

Rnd 6: Change to black, sc around
Rnd 7: Change back to green, sc around
Rnd 8: Change to black, sc around
Rnd 9: Change back to green, sc around
This is the last color change in the tutorial.

H3: Add Eyes and Attach Wings

Insert safety eyes between rounds 3 and 4, about 4 stitches apart.
Attach wings around this stage (before the opening gets smaller):
Place wings centered on the body.
Position them about two stitches apart.
Tie the wing tails together on the inside so they’re secure.

Optional: add a tiny bit of hot glue for extra security, especially if the toy will be handled a lot.

H3: Shape and Close the Body

Rnd 10: (2 sc, dec) repeat 6 times (18)
Rnd 11: (1 sc, dec) repeat 6 times (12)

Now remove hook briefly and stuff the body firmly but gently.

Last Rnd: 6 dec (6)

To close:

Thread yarn onto needle.
Sew through the front loops only of the remaining 6 stitches.
Pull tight to close the hole, then weave the end in.

H2: Face Details (Smile + Zombie Stitches)

H3: Smile

Using black embroidery thread (or black yarn):

Bring needle out near one side of the face a couple stitches from an eye.
Stitch a short smile curve across.
Make a small “dip” in the middle if you like a cute expression.
Weave back in where you started and secure.

H3: Zombie “Stitches” Scar

Using thin red yarn:

Make a short line (like a small cut) wherever you want—above one eye looks great.
Then stitch small crossing lines back and forth over it to mimic stitches.
Repeat a few times until it looks balanced.
Tie ends together on the inside, trim, and weave in.

Tips for Beginners

Use a stitch marker so you don’t lose track of rounds when working with plush yarn.
Count your stitches after every increase/decrease round—amigurumi shapes depend on accurate counts.
When changing colors, pull the new yarn through the last loop of the previous stitch for a cleaner stripe.
Stuff gradually and shape with your fingers as you go.
Place wings with pins or scrap yarn first, step back, and check symmetry—small adjustments make a big difference.
If embroidery feels scary, practice the smile and stitches on a small swatch of yarn first.

Creative Variations

Make your zombee unique without changing the basic build.

H3: Color Ideas

Classic zombie: green + black stripes (as shown)
“Radioactive” bee: neon green with charcoal stripes
Pastel zombee: mint body with lavender stripes for a cute spooky look
Midnight zombee: deep purple body with black stripes

H3: Extra Details

Add a tiny felt or crocheted “bandage” patch
Use mismatched eye sizes for an extra creepy-cute vibe (embroidered eyes work well here)
Add tiny antennae (two short chains or small crocheted cords)
Turn it into a keychain by stitching a loop at the top
