Little Gnome "Bee" - crochet pattern

So, now my little honey bees have a little friend too - how cute! I love bees and also have a small apiary. Bees are such important little animals and what was missing? Yes exactly, a little bee gnome. Have you seen his little companion on his hat? If you want, you can crochet him a whole swarm of bees - I'm sure he'll be happy! Have you seen his big belly? I think it's from licking honey - he has such busy little bees.....

Skills Required / What You'll Receive

If you also love bee gnomes, then I have a special tutorial for you. I have taken a lot of photos while crocheting and packed into the instructions. The reworking should succeed you well. If you have any questions, just write me, I'm happy to help.
If you know the most important stitches, then you can start. The only difficulty is the bobble stitch, but this is also described in detail.

You should master the following stitches and techniques:
slst = slip stitch
chst = chain stitch
sc = single crochet
hdc = half double crochet
dc = double crochet
tchst = turning chain stitch
st = stitch
bost = bobble stitch (for this pattern, the bobble stitch is made out of 4 dc, see detailed description below)
inc = increase (for this pattern, the technique „invisible increase“ is used; in general, you crochet 2 sc into 1 stitch)
dec = decrease (for this pattern, the technique „invisible decrease“ is used, in general you crochet 2 sc together
