Crochet Wasp Nest
Crochet Wasp Nest
The Crochet Wasp Nest, designed by Anita Grover is intended to mimic the imperfect nature of a real wasp nest. This design is an intermediate level as Anita has laid out this pattern uniquely in her pattern.
Anita has allergic to bees and has an abundance of bees where she lives. She decides to freeform a nest on her own and it worked really well. So she decided to follow her stitchwork and write out the pattern.
Keep in mind, this is not wasp proof for totally keeping the wasps away, it’s acting as a deterrent for wasps that don’t below to keep their distance as they are territorial.
The pattern is several pages so you can check off the instructions and follow it easier than forcing it all together making it very difficult to follow.
Example:
Rnd 5: Working in BLO; increasing every 3rd st.
Dc, dc, This means to place 1 dc in next st, 1 dc in the next st after it.
Dc, tr in next st, This is sharing same st.
Tr, tr,
Dc, dc in next st,
Dc, hdc,
Hdc, hdc in next st,

I’m confused on what we do with the chain loops beginning in row 14, do we work in them, in the stitches or ignore them?
I believe you just ignore them. Skip over and push them to the inside.
Thanks Mikey,
For sharing this Wasp nest pattern. I have been looking forward of getting this pattern to help friends out here in The Dalles Oregon and let me tell ya we have yellow jackets to regular bees to hornet’s. You name the bees here and they can get mean.
It sure is a great idea! I know I have at least one I want to put up
