Small Frog
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 Ch 4 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) 2) ch 1, 2 sc in first sc, sc in next sc, 2 sc in next 3 sc’s, sc in next sc, 2 sc in last sc. (14 sc) 3) ch 1, 2 sc in first 3 sc, sc in next 3 sc, 2 sc in next 4 sc, sc in next 3 sc, 2 sc in last sc. (22 sc) 4-10) ch 1, sc in each sc around 11) ch 1, (sc-dec, sc in next 3 sc) repeat around, sc in last 2 sc’s (17 sc) 12) ch 1, (sc-dec, sc in next 2 sc) repeat around. Sc in last sc. (13 sc) STUFF 13) ch 1, (sc-dec, sc in next sc) repeat around. Sc in last sc (9 sc) FO Sew head onto body overlapping head a bit over the body. Arms (make 2) (Back to crocheting in a spiral) Ch 2 1) 6 sc in 2nd chain from hook 2-9) sc in each sc around Slip stitch to the next sc,and FO leaving longer tail for sewing Note: after round 2, make sure to flip arm so you are crocheting on the outside of arm... It is too difficult to do it once your arms are completed. No need to stuff. Sew arms onto Frog Legs (make 2) Ch 2 1) 6 sc in 2nd chain from hook 2-10) sc in each sc around Slip stitch to the next sc,and FO leaving longer tail for sewing Note: after round 2, make sure to flip leg so you are crocheting on the outside of arm... It is too difficult to do it once your arms are completed. No need to stuff. Sew legs onto frog Scarf Chain 35 1) sc in 2nd chain from hook & each remaining chain.

Hi Kristen,
I thought my eyes were going out on me. I thought the bigger frog pattern was gone and that you replaced it with this one. You are so creative and you have been very busy! Thanks for the pattern!

You always come up with such great patterns!
The kids in the hospitals are going to love these too! I'm going to go out tomorrow and get some yarn and start crocheting some of these great animals that you come up with! Thanks again!
