About This Crochet Frog Amigurumi Pattern

This pattern creates a small, charming frog amigurumi with a rounded beak-like mouth and heartfelt details. It uses single crochet shaping to form the body and separate pieces for the eyes and legs. The instructions include alternative methods for magic rings and clear steps for closing and assembly.

Why You'll Love This Crochet Frog Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it turns simple stitches into a character full of personality and charm. I enjoy how the beak-style mouth gives the frog a unique look while still using basic crochet techniques. The pattern is versatile so I can switch colors or make smaller versions for keychains. Seeing the pieces come together during assembly is always rewarding and makes the finished frog feel truly handmade.

Switch Things Up

I love experimenting with colors for this pattern; try pastel greens or two-tone yarn for a fun textured look.

I often make mini versions by using thinner yarn and a smaller hook to create keychain-sized frogs I can gift easily.

To make a chunkier frog, use bulkier yarn and a larger hook; the shape will be the same but much cuddlier.

I sometimes embroider a little smile or freckles on the face to give each frog a unique personality.

Swap the white eye discs for felt circles glued in place for a different finish or to speed up assembly.

I like to add small safety joints or wiring if I want posable legs for display pieces.

Try adding tiny accessories like a crochet bow, scarf, or little crown to personalize your frog for gifts or themed collections.

Make a family of frogs in graduated sizes by changing yarn weight and hook sizes for an adorable set.

I recommend changing yarn texture—cotton for a neater look or acrylic for softer, squishier toys depending on use.

Don't be afraid to mix in novelty yarns for accents like a fuzzy mouth or decorative spots to create playful variations.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Not counting stitches before starting row 18 can cause misplacement of the bottom; count 30 stitches around first so you know exactly where to work the SC30. ✗ Changing color in the wrong place can leave visible joins; change to pink only at the specific instruction and switch back exactly where noted to keep edges neat. ✗ Overstuffing the beak and body makes shaping difficult and distorts the frog's silhouette; stuff gradually and only to a firm but not overly tight finish. ✗ Missing the instruction to close the side of the beak with SL ST will leave gaps; go up with SL ST, around the back and down the other side as described to close cleanly. ✗ Forgetting to leave a long tail when fastening off will make sewing pieces together awkward; fasten off leaving a tail specifically for sewing the eye or body parts.

Info :

Designing crochet patterns is a time-consuming and difficult job. I'd love to see you make as many frogs as you like for yourself or to give as a gift. But please do not make copies of this pattern, don't distribute this pattern, don't share it and don't sell it as if it is your design. If you post your own frog somewhere on the WorldWideWeb, I'd love it if you refer to my shop.

Assembly Instructions

  • Close the side of the beak by going up with SL ST, go around the back of the beak with SL ST and go down on the other side with SL ST to close the beak cleanly.
  • After finishing row 20, attach the two eye pieces to the head in the position shown in the pattern pictures; make sure they are evenly spaced before sewing.
  • Stuff both parts of the beak and the body lightly; do not overstuff to maintain proper shape and flexibility.
  • Sew the hind-legs and front-legs onto the bottom and sides of the body in the positions shown in the photographs, securing with tight, even stitches.
  • Fasten off and leave long tails for sewing where indicated (eyes and body closures) to make assembly straightforward and secure.

Important Notes

  • 💡If you don't know how to make a magic ring, use the alternative chain 2 and SC into the 2nd chain method as described in the pattern.
  • 💡Count 30 stitches around before starting row 18 so you know exactly where to work the SC30 for the bottom.
  • 💡Change to pink only where specifically noted if you want the inside of the beak pink, and change back to green where indicated to avoid visible color joins.

This charming crochet frog pattern is designed to be fun, quick, and heartwarming to make. 🐸 It combines simple shaping with delightful details to create a lovable little companion. Whether you gift it or keep it, this handmade frog brings joy and personality to any home. 🧶

FAQs

What size will the finished piece be?

The finished amigurumi size will depend on your yarn and tension, but using the recommended yarn and 4mm hook yields a small frog suitable as a soft toy or decoration.

Can I use safety eyes instead of crocheted eyes?

Yes, you can push safety eyes through the middle of the white eye parts; it's best to push the back of the eye through the body so the washer is on the inside for security.

Do I need to know how to make a magic ring?

No, the pattern includes an alternate method: chain 2 and work the specified number of single crochets into the 2nd chain from the hook.

How long does this project typically take to complete?

Most crafters complete this project in about 5-7 hours, though time may vary depending on experience and how many frogs you make.
