2.vyazhem 2 PRS in each loop

3. The next row change to a black thread and knit PRS do gain in each loop of the 5th

so a number of alternate yellow - black series

5. After the third row of black in the yellow row dec do, this knit as usual PRS, but not dovyazyvaya, leaving 2 loops on hook

CCH also no second dovyazyvaya (on the hook for three loops)

Now grab the hook and weed out the thread of our three-loop like this has turned out tog, this number diminishes after three CLO

in a number of black subtracts three PRS, ie, nedovyazyvaem three PRS and then provyazyvaem them together, and so tog for dec

in the end get a small hole, do not worry it will not prevent us - that's the trunk and you're done!

now knit wing, 10 EP, 3 to climb, knit to end PRS, in the last loop in which the knit 10th PRS PRS knit 4 more, while making a turn

knit on the other side knit row, until the end

in the end make allowances 4.3

and so knit to "oval"

The result should be an oval of 4 rows

at the end knit 1 sc and fasten thread polustolbikom

our wing is ready, and knit second

now knit his head - just the right diameter circle sc

Now you have to string any wings, take a black thread, and knit at the edge of the wing three sc

Now thread crochet tie neobryvaya second wing and knit three sc

associating's turnover on the wrong side and knit back 6 sc

now we have to append the head without tearing the threads begin to fasten the head, without additions

that's what will Dolno

connect with the wing polustolbikom

now we have to sew up this hole here,

it can be sewn with a needle and thread, and you can knit crochet edges are connected

Here's what happened

it now remains to sew our bee with the product and make eyes, I used black beads, sewing head for its size, I stuffed with cotton wool can be a little parolonom
