Small Frog

[KristieMN]

 

Small Frog

 

Frog measures about 7 inches tall!

 

Supplies needed:

G Hook

Small amounts of WW yarn

Stitch marker or safety pin

Buttons for eyes (optional)

 

Terms used

Sc = single crochet

Sc-dec = single crochet decrease over 2 stitches

Ch = chain

FO = Finish off, or Fasten off

 

 

Please note!!!

The frog is done in a continous spiral.(unless other wise noted) I would suggest using a stitch marker or a safety pin to mark your place

Another tip: when you start the body, you will be working from the bottom up. If after a few rounds, there is holes in the bottom, you can use the beginning tail to sew them shut a bit.

I get asked, why doesn’t my “ --------------†(fill in the blank) look like yours??

One of the easiest things to do, pin before sewing. I make up the entire head, and eyes first. Using sewing straight pins (or longer needles) pin the eyes onto the head. Make sure you like where they are first before sewing. Play around with the placement to see what you like. Do this will all your work. It will make a huge difference!

 

Head

Ch 2

1) 6 sc in 2nd chain from hook

2) 2 sc in each sc around (12 sc)

3) (2 sc in first sc, sc in next sc) repeat around (18 sc)

4) (2 sc in first sc, sc in next 2 sc) repeat around (24 sc)

5-8) sc in each sc around)

9) (sc-dec, sc in next 2 sc) repeat around (18 sc)

10) (sc dec, sc in next sc) repeat around (12 sc)

Slip stitch to the next sc

FO leaving long tail for sewing

Stuff head

 

Eyes (make 2)

Ch 2

1) 4 sc in 2nd chain from hook

2) 2 sc in each sc around (8 sc)

3) (2 sc in first sc, sc in next sc) repeat (12 sc)

FO leaving long tail.

Stuff beginning tail into each eye and sew to head. (Or stuff if you prefer)

Sew button to middle of eye, pulling threads tighter. This will make the button sink into the eye some. Alternate to button: embroider a French knot into each eye.

 

Body

Each round of body is joined. Join with slip stitch at end of each round

1) 2 sc in 2nd chain from hook, sc in middle chain, 3 sc in last chain from hook. Working along underside of chain, sc in bottom side of middle chain, sc in last chain. (same as first chain you started in) (8 sc)
