Bee Capybara - Free Amigurumi Pattern

Do you think it's called a cap-bee-bara? This adorable stuffed toy combines the cuteness of a bumblebee with the charm of a capybara! This pattern works up quick, and only uses basic stitches, making it a good candidate for a beginner looking for a new pattern to try out. The wings are fun to play with, too, making it a nice fidget toy. For a smaller, rounder capybara, check out my free capybara bippy pattern here! I also have a free bee bunny pattern here!
