Switch Things Up

I love how easy it is to customize this flower by swapping colours — try pastels for a softer look or autumn tones for a seasonal piece.

If you want a larger version I often use DK or worsted weight yarn with a correspondingly larger hook for a chunkier bloom.

I sometimes add wire inside the stem for posability so the flower can bend and tilt where I like it.

You can make the bee more whimsical by embroidering a smiling face or adding tiny safety eyes for personality.

Try mixing yarn textures — a slightly fluffy yarn for the center gives a different tactile look compared to smooth cotton petals.

For a tabletop display, make a cluster of three blossoms in varying heights and colours for a charming arrangement.

I also recommend experimenting with bead accents in the center for subtle sparkle or as pollen dots.

If you prefer a no-sew finish, you can glue the petals in place, though sewing provides a more durable and neat result.

To make it child-friendly, skip small beads and secure all parts with extra stitches so nothing can be pulled off easily.

I often give these as gifts; try packaging multiple mini versions in a small box for a sweet handmade present.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Forgetting to add stuffing gradually; stuff small amounts regularly while shaping to avoid lumps and to maintain the petal and stem shape. ✗ Skipping the back loop or front loop instructions when specified; always check FLO or BLO rounds and work into the correct loop to achieve the intended edge or join. ✗ Not securing the dirt hole centered in the pot; place the cardboard base and center the dirt before sewing so the flower stands without tipping. ✗ Ignoring stitch counts during increases and decreases; count stitches after each round to catch mistakes early and maintain correct shaping for petals, pot and bee.

Assembly Instructions

  • Place the center piece on the stem and sew the center to the stem using the yarn tail of the center piece, making sure to align the last stem rounds with the center loops.
  • Attach each petal by sewing along the rounds where the stem and center were connected so the petals sit closely with very little space between them.
  • Sew the leaves to the stem near round 11, spacing them evenly and pinning in place before final stitching.
  • Add a piece of cardboard to 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 bumblebee wings to the bee body between rounds 4 and 5, then secure the bee to the flower using the bee's yarn tail and a few tight stitches.

Important Notes

  • 💡Work with a 2mm hook and sport weight yarn to achieve the sample size; changing hook or yarn will change final dimensions.
  • 💡Use stitch markers to keep track of the beginning of rounds, especially when working long sequences of single crochet rounds.
  • 💡Stuff pieces gradually and check shape as you go; overstuffing can distort thin petals and stems.

This bright Bumble Blossom Black Eyed Susan is a sunny, handmade accent that brings joy to any windowsill or shelf. Create it for yourself or as a thoughtful, long-lasting gift that will stay beautiful year after year. Happy crocheting and enjoy watching this little bloom brighten your day! 🧶🌼
