I’ve been doing a lot of markets the last two years. And I’ve been switching from home goods to amigurumi plushys. That is what sells in my area at markets. We have hardly sold any hats or potholders locally. But we do very well with plushy s. So, as I continued to do the markets. I’ve expanded my knowledge of making these little cuties. Small market makes are the best sellers.

So, what you want is some different sizes and different patterns. But having lots of different animals, plushy s is the best way to get sales.

Here is my latest, little bee with a stinger. Not the same bee that everyone else makes. And I particularly love making no sew items as they work up much faster for me. So rather than making separate wings, I attach the wing color directly to the back of the bee and work my wings directly on the bee.

Materials

chenille yarn
Safety eyes or you can embroider eyes
Fiberfill or preferred stuffing material.
Crochet hook size depends on the chenille yarn that you choose.
I used premier just chenille in (Black and lemon and white) and a size 3.5mm crochet hook
Scissors
Stitch marker
Yarn needle to weave in the ends.

For now, my little no sew Bee with stinger pattern is available in my Etsy Storefront.
