Are you ready? Before we jump in, let’s go over some common questions to help you get started.

Things To Know Before You Start

1. Choose The Yarn You Love

You can use any type of yarn you love, like cotton, plush, velvet, and so on paired with the right hook size. Different yarn thickness will change the size of your crochet piece: thinner yarn makes smaller piece, thicker yarn makes bigger piece.

2. My Crochet Method

My crochet method – I use the Yarn Under and the pieces are worked in Spiral Round (Continuous Round) Method.

3. Tension Differences

I crochet with a very tight tension. So, if you use the same yarn and hook size as me but your crochet piece turns out bigger or longer, that’s totally normal! You can adjust by adding or removing rounds where the stitch count stays the same.

For example, in the pattern:

Rounds 5 to 12: 30sc (8 rounds)

But if your tension is looser and 8 rounds make your crochet piece look too stretched or long, you can reduce 1 to 3 rounds to get the perfect shape.

4. Safety First for Little Ones

If you’re making this as a gift for a baby or young child, I recommend embroidering the details like the eyes, nose, and mouth instead of using plastic safety parts. Embroidered features are much safer for little ones 🙂

Now that you’ve read the tips, let’s move on to the Materials you’ll need!!!

Materials

1. Yarn. I used Bulky (weight 5) yarn in Green, Pink and Yellow colors. Less than 10 grams of yarn per Frog.

2. Crochet hook suitable with your yarn. I used a 4mm crochet hook.

3. Safety eyes. I used 9mm.

4. Tapestry needle.

5. Markers.

6. Scissors.

7. Stuffing.

8. Tweezers (optional)

Abbreviations (US Terms)

MR – magic ring

st/sts – stitch/stitches

ch – chain stitch

slst – slip stitch

sc – single crochet stitch

hdc – half double crochet

inc – increase stitch

dec – decrease stitch

BO – bobble stitch

BO is the bobble stitch with a group of three to five incomplete double crochet stitches together, depending on your yarn’s thickness. Since I use bulky yarn, I make my BO with four incomplete double crochets.

(…)*x – repeat the instructions in brackets x times

Finished Size

The finished Frog measures approximately 5cm (2 inches) tall. Size may vary depending on crochet tension and materials (yarn & hook) used.

Pattern Instructions

Round 2: 8inc (16)

Round 7: 6sc, 1BO, 3sc, 1BO, 1dec, 1BO, 3sc, 1BO, 6sc (23)

Stitch placement might differ depending on whether you have tight or loose yarn tension while crocheting. Therefore, at Round 7, there will be a total of 24sts. We will crochet 4 BO stitches for the frog’s feet. Feel free to adjust as needed to ensure that the two front feet are align with the center of the piece, with a distance of 2 stitches between them. And the back feet are 3 stitches away from the front ones.

Check the tutorial for detailed instructions on Round 7.

Round 8: (1sc, 1dec)*7, 2sc (16)
