About This Bumble Blossom Black Eyed Susan Amigurumi Pattern

This pattern teaches you how to crochet a Black Eyed Susan style flower with a tiny bumblebee friend, all worked in sport weight yarn. You will make the pot, dirt insert, stem, center, seven petals, two leaves and a small bumblebee body and wings.

Why You'll Love This Bumble Blossom Black Eyed Susan Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it combines simple amigurumi shapes into a playful floral display that brightens any space. I enjoy how the petal shaping creates an elegant droop, giving the flower a lifelike silhouette. The tiny bumblebee is a favourite little companion — easy to make yet full of charm. I also love that the pot and dirt are crocheted to secure the stem, making a stable finished piece you can display with pride.

Switch Things Up

I love to experiment with colors when I make this pattern; try pale pastels for a soft nursery version or deep jewel tones for a dramatic accent.

I sometimes use a slightly thicker yarn and a larger hook to create a chunkier version that stands out on a shelf.

I also enjoy making a tiny bunch of flowers by repeating the pattern and arranging them in a longer planter for a table centerpiece.

For the bee, try embroidering eyes or using tiny safety beads for a different personality.

If you want a freestanding display, glue a small wooden dowel into the cardboard base for extra stability instead of only stuffing.

I often swap the pot color to match home decor—try neutral tans or bright terracotta for variety.

Want a gift-ready project? Sew a tiny crocheted tag or add a ribbon bow around the pot to personalize it.

Try different stitch textures on the petals by working in BLO or FLO for a ribbed effect if you want more definition.

I sometimes add a bit of wire inside the stem to pose the flower at an angle — it gives a nice natural look.

If you like a mini version for keychains, use fingering weight yarn and a 1.5mm hook and scale down the petal count or size accordingly.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Not adding stuffing gradually to the stem can make it floppy and unstable; add stuffing starting after round 10 and continue little by little to keep an even, firm shape. ✗ Skipping stitch counts when working increases or decreases causes the piece to lose its shape; count your stitches after each round, especially after increases and decreases. ✗ Joining pieces without pinning first can lead to uneven petal placement; use pins to position petals and leaves before sewing to ensure even spacing. ✗ Pulling the yarn tail too tight when closing rounds creates puckering; leave a long tail for sewing and close gently, adjusting tension as you stitch.

Assembly Instructions

  • Place the center piece on the stem and sew the center to the stem using the yarn tail of the center piece, adding stuffing before closing the last stitches.
  • Attach each of the seven petals by sewing them to the rounds where the stem and center connect so petals sit closely around the center with minimal gaps.
  • Sew the two leaves to the stem near round 11, positioning them opposite each other and securing firmly with stitches.
  • Insert a cardboard disk into the bottom of the pot for stability, then sew the dirt piece into the remaining loops of round 20 of the pot and add stuffing before closing.
  • Sew the small bumblebee wings to the bee body between rounds 4 and 5, then sew the finished bee onto a petal or the center as desired.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use stitch markers to keep track of your rounds and where petals or septals attach to the stem for accurate placement.
  • 💡Stuff pieces gradually and evenly—start stuffing the stem after round 10 to provide firm support without overstuffing.
  • 💡Weave in ends as you go and leave long tails for sewing to make assembly easier and neater.
  • 💡Pin petals and leaves in place before sewing to ensure balanced placement and even spacing.
