I wanted to make something whimsical and easy. I also like to make something "ragdoll-style" every once in a while. By ragdoll-style I mean crocheting two panels and joining them later to make a flat-style toy.

Why a Crochet Frog, You Ask?

A frog is something that I never crocheted before! I have made mice, whales, bees, unicorns, and lots of other crochet animals, but never a frog! So if you ask me, it is about time to make a frog. This is a fun crochet toy that you can make and give away as a gift. Or, do like me and display them on the couch! They are so fun and whimsical, I love them!

How to customize the crochet frog pattern?

You can make a frog with clothes, for example. Just try adding other colors to it. Or you can also play with the colors, it does not have to be green! In nature, there are frogs in many colors, like blue for example. The Blu Poison Dart Frog is blue. It is also extremely poisonous to humans! There are also yellow, red, orange, and purplish frogs, also very beautiful but poisonous.

My frogs, however, are completely safe.

Getting Started with Your Crochet Frog

To make a crochet frog, you'll need a few basic supplies:

• Yarn: I used the Honey Bunny yarn from Hobbii, but you can use other yarn to make a different look.
• Crochet Hook: I used a 4,5 mm crochet hook, or choose a hook that will match your yarn.
• Stuffing:
• Safety Eyes: I used 20 mm crochet eyes.
• A Stitch Marker

How to crochet Leif Frogsson

Happy crocheting, everyone! 🐸💚

About the pattern

The head, eyes and body are worked in rows. Make two panels and crochet them together. A tip is to not cut the yarn on the second panel and simply crochet them together to avoid weaving in so many ends. I used plush yarn but you can use any kind of yarn. When crocheting in rounds always crochet in continuous rounds.

The finished size is 37 cm/14,5 inches.
