Supplies You’ll Need:

  • Yarn: Preferred color for the frog (recommend using a smooth, worsted-weight yarn).
  • Crochet Hook: Size suitable for the yarn used (usually 3.0mm – 4.0mm for amigurumi).
  • Plastic Eyes: To glue on later for detailing.
  • Stuffing/Filling: To give the frog its 3D shape.
  • Yarn Needle: For weaving in ends and sewing parts.
  • Stitch Marker: To mark the beginning of rounds.

Introduction to the Methods:

  • The pattern includes two starting options:
    1. Magic Ring: A great method for a tight, seamless start.
    2. Chain Method: Ideal if the yarn sheds or if you’re still practicing the magic ring.

Step 1: Head/Body

Option A – Magic Ring Start

  1. Create a magic ring:
    • Wrap yarn around your fingers to create an “X.”
    • Insert your hook under the first loop, grab the second loop, pull through, and twist up.
    • Secure with a chain. You now have your magic ring.
  2. Round 1: Make 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring. Pull the tail to close the ring.
    • Tip: Keep the tail nearby the loop for stability.

  3. Proceed to the next round.

Option B – Chain Method Start

  1. Make a slip knot and chain 2.
  2. Insert your hook into the first chain and make 6 sc into it to form a round.
    • Insert the hook, yarn over, and pull up a loop, then yarn over again and pull through 2 loops.

  3. Mark your first stitch for easier tracking. Then, move to round 2.

2: Expanding the Body

  1. Round 2: Add 6 increases (2 sc per stitch) in every stitch around. You’ll now have 12 stitches.
    • Example: Insert your hook in one stitch, make 2 sc. Repeat for all stitches.
  2. Round 3: Alternate 1 sc and 1 increase around. By the end, you’ll have 18 stitches.
    • Stitch pattern: 1 sc, 2 sc in next stitch.

  4. Rounds 5-7: Work 24 sc in each round. Simply do 1 sc in every stitch to build height.

3: Shaping and Decreasing the Body

  1. Round 8: Alternate 2 sc and 1 decrease, leaving you with 18 stitches.
    • Decrease Technique (Invisible Decrease):
      • Insert your hook into the front loops only of the next 2 stitches.
      • Yarn over, pull through 2 loops, yarn over, and pull through the remaining loops.
  2. Round 9: Alternate 1 sc and 1 decrease, reducing to 12 stitches.
  3. Round 10: Work 6 decreases to close off the body. You’ll be left with 6 stitches.

4: Closing the Frog

  1. Cut your yarn, leaving a long tail.
  2. Using a plastic needle, weave it through each stitch in the last row and pull tightly to cinch it closed.

5: Creating the Eyes (Special Feature!)

  1. Bobbles for Eyes:
    • Work bobble stitches directly onto the head as follows:
      • Yarn over, insert your hook into the specific stitch for the bobble.
      • Pull up a loop, yarn over, and pull through the first two loops. Repeat this process 3-4 times until you have 6 loops on the hook. Yarn over and pull through all 6 loops.
    • Repeat for the second eye.
  2. Attach plastic eyes using glue on the bobble stitches.

Tutor’s Suggestions

  • Difficulty Level: Beginner-friendly, but requires attention to detail, especially during decreases.
  • Special Features: The bobble-stitched eyes give the frog a playful and 3D look.
  • Uses: Perfect as a toy, a keychain when downsized, or as part of a whimsical collection of handmade gifts.
  • Tutor Tip: Mark the first stitch of every round to avoid losing track.

Final Touches

  1. Hide any extra yarn tail by weaving it back into the stitches.
  2. Adjust the shape by fluffing up the stuffing evenly.
  3. Your cute little crochet frog is ready to hop into your life!
