Poem Tags (Printable & Editable with Canva)

This little crochet bee pattern is an adaptation of the popular crochet worry worms. It’s an ideal project for Random Acts of Crochet Kindness or as a small gift for kids who suffer from worries, anxiety, or loneliness.

Materials Needed

Yarn:

• 100% cotton yarn (DK or Sport) in white, yellow and black. (Acrylic yarn would also work)
• Crochet hook: I used a 4.5 mm hook.
• A tapestry needle.
• A pair of scissors.
• Trimits Toy Eyes Solid Black – 6mm, Goggly eyes, or black / brown fiber art beads, or a permanent marker.
• Fluffy cotton filling, fiberfill or a few strands of leftover yarn
• Zip Lock plastic or organza baggies.
• Printer & A4 paper or card stock to print your tags.

Abbreviations

• ch = chain
• mc = magic circle
• sc = single crochet
• dc = double crochet
• sl st = slip stitch

Skill Level

Advanced Beginner – (knowledge of how to crochet a Magic Circle or alternative – please see options in instructions below).

Measurements/Size

• This worry worm measures about 6.2 inches (16 cm) in length.

Yardage

Approx. 24 yards (22 m) in total (all 3 colors).

• Black = 11 yards (10 m)
• Yellow = 11 yards (10 m)
• White = 2 yards (2 m)

Gauge

• Gauge = 14 dc and 8 rows with a 4.5 mm crochet hook = 4″ (10 cm)

• Gauge is not really that crucial for this tutorial. Just try experimenting with different hook sizes & different weight yarns to get a gauge you are happy with for the project you are working on.

• If your worry worm looks smaller than you anticipated, try a thicker weight yarn or a smaller size crochet hook.

• If you want your worry worm to be longer, just increase the number of stitches in your beginning (body) chain.

Notes

• You can use any type of yarn as long as you have a corresponding crochet hook size (check yarn label for recommendations).

• If you don’t know how to crochet a Magic Circle, you can either try to figure it out with these video tutorials, or you could just crochet 3 chains (ch), join the last stitch to the first stitch with a slip stitch (sl st) and crochet your 12 dc (double crochet) stitches into the little gap/ring you just created.

• Numbers at the end of each step (in brackets) indicate the number of final stitches in that step.

• Beginning Ch 2 counts as a dc st.

• Please note that I use US crochet terms.

Testimonials

Yaay!! This is one of the best cute little bee. im sure everyone will love to make these such an interesting yet different one so far i have seen. I loved the way it turned out . Thank tou for such a lovely Bee Worry Worm pattern

I decided to join a pattern test for the honeybee worry worm, which has been a style of fidget toy that I’ve been seeing more of lately. The honeybee approach is pretty cute, and I hadn’t seen one like it before.

It took very little time to complete, relative to other projects that I’ve tested, just a few hours the first time and even less when I made the second one.

The designer has been very friendly and communicative, and it is particularly rewarding to be able to make and assemble an entire item in one sitting 🙂

I loved making this Happy Bee. It will melt away the worries of many, by brightening the day .
