Crocheted Amigurumi Frog - Step-by-Step Pattern

Materials

Yarn:
- Blue: 4-ply milk cotton or acrylic (for body & main parts)
- White: Same weight as green (for belly, eye whites)
- Small scrap of black felt (non-woven) for pupils
Crochet Hook: Size suitable for yarn (typically 2.5-3mm for amigurumi with 4-ply cotton)
Stuffing: Polyester fiberfill
Yarn Needle: For seaming and weaving ends
Scissors
Glue: Hot glue gun for attaching tiny pieces (optional)
Stitch Marker: Recommended for marking round start
Measuring Tape: For checking size

Gauge

Gauge is not critical for amigurumi, but use a hook and tension that gives you a dense, no-hole fabric when working single crochet. For reference:

With 4-ply cotton and a 2.5-3mm hook, the frog will be about 5-8cm tall (varies with yarn/hook).

sc: single crochet
ch: chain
st: stitch
sl st: slip stitch
inc: increase (2 sc in same st)
FO: fasten off

Magic Ring (adjustable loop):
Wrap yarn into a loop, insert hook, and work first stitches into loop, then pull tail to tighten.

Attach eye whites to the sockets and glue or sew felt pupils in center of each.
Sew or glue arms and legs to sides and lower corners of body.
Weave in and trim all ends securely.
For best durability, "hot glue" can be used for small pieces, but sewing is more secure for small children.

Tips and Customization Ideas

Safety Eyes: If not using felt, use 5-6mm black safety eyes before stuffing.
Blush: Add a touch of pink felt or embroidery at cheeks for a cute effect.
Keychain: Sew a jump ring through the head for a charming bag or keychain accessory.
Accessories: Add a tiny bow, scarf, or flower for personal style!
Size: Use thicker yarn and larger hook for a bigger frog, or thinner for a mini version.
