About This Frog Prince Amigurumi Pattern
This pattern creates a charming Frog Prince amigurumi with long legs, expressive eyes, and a tiny crown. It walks you through every piece — head, body, eyes, eyelids, arms, legs and crown — with round-by-round instructions. The finished frog measures approximately 17 inches tall using worsted weight yarn and the recommended hook.
Designed for intermediate crocheters, the pattern uses continuous spiral rounds and simple shaping techniques. Clear assembly notes and a no-sew cape reference help you finish a polished, characterful toy.
Why You'll Love This Frog Prince Amigurumi Pattern
I absolutely love this pattern because it captures so much personality with very simple shapes and stitches. I enjoy how the large eyes and tiny crown instantly give the frog charm and character. I also appreciate that the body shaping creates a lovely elongated silhouette which makes the finished toy feel special. Making this frog gives me a relaxed, satisfying crochet session with a delightful result that I am proud to gift or display.
Switch Things Up
I love customizing this Frog Prince by changing yarn colors to create different personalities; try mint greens, teals, or even speckled yarns for a fresh look.
I sometimes swap the worsted weight yarn for a bulkier yarn and larger hook to make a chunkier, cuddlier version that works great as a pillow buddy.
I also like making a mini version for keychains by using thinner yarn and a smaller hook; it makes an adorable portable gift.
Try embroidering a smile or freckles with black embroidery thread instead of using safety eyes for a softer, child-friendly face.
I often add small accessories like a crocheted bow tie, tiny scarf, or removable felt cape to give my frog distinct outfits.
For a playful twist, alternate colors every few rounds to create stripes on the body or legs for a whimsical effect.
I sometimes use safety joints for the arms and legs to make posable limbs, which adds fun articulation to the finished toy.
To make the crown more decorative, add small seed beads or french knots to each point to mimic gems and add sparkle.
If you prefer a vintage look, use cotton yarn and slightly tighter tension for a firmer, retro-style amigurumi finish.
I recommend experimenting with eye placement: moving the eyes slightly wider or closer together changes the frog's expression dramatically, so test with pins before securing.
For a themed set, make multiple frogs in different colorways and give each one a unique accessory like a tiny flower, scarf, or embroidered initial.
Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them
✗ Skipping stitch markers during continuous rounds leads to losing track of the round start; use a stitch marker at the beginning of every round and move it as you crochet to stay accurate.
✗ Stuffing too much or too little results in misshapen pieces that are hard to sew; stuff gradually and evenly, checking shape frequently to maintain smooth curves and proper proportions.
✗ Placing safety eyes incorrectly will misalign facial features; position the safety eyes between rounds 5 and 6 as instructed and pin them first to confirm symmetry before securing.
✗ Ignoring tension consistency creates uneven rows and mismatched parts; maintain the same yarn tension and hook throughout the project and check gauge by comparing completed pieces as you go.
