Antennas (make 2)
for bee with brown / for bug just as you like ☺
Cut about a 30 cm (12 inches) length of yarn and fold it in half. Stick the
crochet hook in one hole and out another on the head (around a
stitch). Grab the yarn with the hook and pull a small loop of the yarn
through.
Keeping the hook in the loop, hook the two sections of yarn and pull another
loop through the first (like you are making a crochet chain with 2 yarns).
Ch 7 (or repeat until the antenna is the length you like). Pull tightly to end
and cut yarn to desired length.
Finishing
Now give your bee/bug a really biiiiiiig smile and two eyes, make desired embellishment (e. g. embroidery on
wings or belly), and pull a ribbon through top of head, so that your smiling insect will be able to “fly”. ☺
If you find the time, I’d love to see a picture of your smiling insect! ☺
