It’s time for another KAWAII plushie variation from the “custom crocheted Twinkle plushie variations” series! Today, you will learn how to crochet this oh-so-cute bee cosplay miniature Twinkle plushie with a step-by-step tutorial plus a written pattern as well. Crochet it this Christmas as a last-minute gift for kids or during the spring. This crochet Twinkle plush (inspired by the Twinkle Twinkle Bee Your Honey variation) uses the same pattern for the head and the body.

But don’t worry, I will share the full pattern to crochet this no-sew Twinkle bee costume wearing the same star hat. It also has a funny-looking stuffed blue rear propeller.

You will like its longer brown antennae and the look that bobble stitch arms and legs create for kids’ bodies. This makes it no-sew and an irresistible desk buddy, as it can sit upright on its own. The blue wings look much cuter than if you made the black wings for this plushie. You can also use it as a Christmas ornament and spring bag charm. Now, let’s continue to the free crochet Twinkle plush pattern.
