Crochet Leggy Frog

Materials Required:

4.5 mm crochet hook
Scissors
Yarn needle
10 mm safety eyes
Stitch marker (a bobby pin can also be used)
Stuffing

Pattern Steps:

Starting the Body:

Make a slip knot in your yarn.
Chain 7.
Double crochet 4 in the third chain from the hook.
Single crochet in the next three chains.
Double crochet 5 in the last chain.

Rounds 2 - 4:

Single crochet around for a total of 16 stitches. Use a stitch marker to identify the end of each round. These rounds form the body of the frog.

Adding Eyes:

After finishing round 4, add the 10 mm safety eyes in front of the bumps created in the crochet pattern.
Add a bit of stuffing to the eye sockets to give them definition.

Rounds 5 - 11:

Continue to single crochet around for seven more rows.

Stuffing the Body:

After completing round 11, stuff the frog's body firmly but not too stiff.

Closing the Body:

Close with a slip stitch, drawing the two sides together.
Chain 14, then double crochet in the third chain from the hook.
Create the frog's "toes" by doing a sequence of slip stitch, chain two, double crochet in the same space, and repeat as needed.
Slip stitch down the chain to finish the leg.

Finishing Legs:

Cut the yarn, pull through, and then use a yarn needle to weave in the ends and secure the leg.
Repeat the process for the remaining legs, placing them appropriately around the body to create a balanced frog shape.

Mouth:

Using black worsted yarn, thread a needle, and stitch a mouth by entering from one side of the body and exiting at the desired mouth position.
Make small stitches to form the mouth shape, then knot securely and weave in the ends.
