Bigger Frog!
This little guy is inspired by some of the japanese patterns I have seen. Please let me know if you find an error in the pattern, as this has not yet been tested. Enjoy!! Bigger Frog Frog measures about 9 ½ 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) (2 sc in first sc, sc in next 3 sc) repeat around (30 sc) 6) (2 sc in first sc, sc in next 4 sc) repeat around (36 sc) 7-10) sc in each sc around 11) (sc-dec, sc in next 3 sc’s) repeat around, sc in last sc (29 sc) 12) (sc-dec, sc in next 2 sc’s) repeat around, sc in last sc (22sc) 13) (sc-dec, sc in next sc) repeat around, sc in last sc (15 sc) Slip stitch to the next sc,and FO leaving longer tail for sewing Eyes (make 2) Ch 2, 1) 4 sc in 2nd chain from hook. 2) 2 sc in each sc. (8 sc) 3) (2 sc in first sc, sc in next sc) repeat (12 sc) 4) sc in each sc around Slip stitch to the next sc,and FO leaving longer tail for sewing Sew buttons into eyes, pulling slightly. (this makes them indent a bit) Sew eyes onto head. Embroider on smile. (I simpy ran a small piece of yarn over a few stitches and tied the ends together inside the head. Stuff head. Body Chain 5 with contrast yarn 1) 2 sc in 2nd chain from hook, sc in next 2 ch, 3 sc in last chain. Working along underside of chains, sc in next 2 sc, sc in last chain.
