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 delightful decorative plant that brightens any space. I enjoy designing small details like the sepal and the bumblebee that give the piece personality. The structure is sturdy — the cardboard base and dirt piece make the flower stand proudly on a windowsill. I also love how customizable this pattern is; changing yarn colors or sizes yields completely new variations. Making this pattern is relaxing and rewarding, and I hope you feel the same joy finishing it as I did creating it.

Switch Things Up

I love how easy it is to customize this pattern by changing yarn colors; try pastel petals for a soft spring look or jewel tones for a dramatic display.

You can make a mini keychain version by using finer yarn and a smaller hook for tiny, portable blossoms.

I sometimes swap the sport weight yarn for a thicker DK or worsted yarn and a larger hook to create a chunky, statement flower for larger displays.

I add embroidered veins or surface slip stitch details to leaves for more texture and visual interest.

Try filling the pot with weighted stuffing or a small pebble wrapped in fabric for extra stability if your flower tips easily.

I often make a set of three flowers in varying heights by changing the stem rounds to create a clustered arrangement in one pot.

You can make the bumblebee detachable by stitching it to a short wire or pin so it can be repositioned on different petals.

For a seasonal twist, add tiny crocheted butterflies instead of the bee, or crocheted berries to the dirt for a whimsical composition.

I recommend experimenting with different sepal styles — longer ruffled sepals or short scalloped ones change the final look dramatically.

If you want to gift this, create a matching tag or tiny greeting card using leftover yarn scraps and a small crocheted motif as an added personal touch.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping stitch markers during long rounds can cause you to lose the beginning of the round; place a marker at the start of every round to stay oriented. ✗ Forgetting to add stuffing gradually causes lumps or overly firm sections; add stuffing little by little while shaping and check frequently for evenness. ✗ Not counting stitches after increases or decreases will lead to incorrect shaping; count stitches after each increase or decrease round to ensure the correct stitch total. ✗ Sewing petals in without pinning first can produce uneven spacing; use pins to position each petal before sewing to ensure consistent placement and symmetry.

Assembly Instructions

  • Place the center piece on the stem and sew the center to the stem using the yarn tail from the center piece, adding stuffing before closing the last stitches.
  • Attach the seven petals by sewing along the rounds where the stem and center meet, positioning each petal close to the next with pins for even spacing.
  • Sew the two leaves to the stem near round 11 on the stem, positioning them on opposite sides for balance.
  • Insert a cardboard circle into the bottom of the pot for stability, then sew the dirt piece into the remaining loops of round 20 of the pot and stuff before closing.
  • Sew the bumblebee wings to the body between rounds 4 and 5, then attach the bee to a petal or the flower center as desired.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use a stitch marker to mark the start of each round and especially during color changes to avoid losing your place.
  • 💡Stuff pieces gradually and evenly to avoid lumps and to maintain the intended shape of petals, the stem and the bee.
  • 💡Pin parts in position before sewing to ensure correct alignment and symmetry when attaching petals, leaves and the center.
