Whether it’s befriending a ladybug or embarking on a daring leap from leaf to leaf, Pocket Frog proves that true bravery comes in the tiniest packages.

Skill Level: Advanced Beginner

This no-sew pattern is written in U.S. crochet terms, complete with clear instructions, pictures, and video tutorial to help you along the way. Pocket Frog is crocheted in the round/continuous spirals without joining the rounds. I suggest using a stitch marker or different color yarn to keep track of each round. Pocket Frog is crocheted in super bulky chenille yarn and is approximately 2.5 inches tall. Be aware that size may vary depending on the yarn and hook size used. Gauge is not particularly important, just be consistent with the tension you are using. And most importantly, have fun!

Pocket Frog Full Pattern

HEAD/BODY

  • Using color green

    First two pics are in worsted bulky yarn in order to see stitches better. Right and left hand video tutorials available for this pattern in the pattern example above. Watch the step-by-step video tutorial for R1.

  • Make a slipknot and chain 7
  • R1: sc in the 2nd chain from hook, sc in next 5 ch sts,

    Working down the other side of the chain

  • sc in next 6 ch sts {12 sts}

    We're working in continuous rounds. Make your first increase of R2 into the next stitch.

  • R2: (inc, sc) 6 times {18 sts}
  • R3: (inc, sc in next 2 sts) 6 times {24 sts}
  • R4 we're making the eyes. Using stitch markers, mark the back loops only of stitch 4, 5, 9 and 10 before you begin crocheting. The eyes will be worked into the front loops of the marked stitches.

    Watch the step-by-step video tutorial for R4.

  • I also suggest marking the first sl st and the last sl st of the eye with a stitch marker. Helpful for R5.
  • R4: sc in next 3 sts, [eye: in next flo, sl st, sc, hdc in same stitch, in next flo, hdc, sc, sl st in same stitch], sc in next 3 sts, [eye: in next flo, sl st, sc, hdc in same stitch, in next flo, hdc, sc, sl st in same stitch], sc in next 14 sts {24 sts counting the marked back loops, not the flo stitches for the eyes}
  • For R5: As we work this round, we will work into the back loops that we marked for R4 and not into the stitches of the eye. After you work into the back loops, reach your hook over into the next stitch - the one next to your marked eye stitch.

    Watch the step-by-step video tutorial for R5.

  • R5: sc in next 2 sts, (inc, sc in next 3 sts) 5 times, inc, sc {30 sts}
  • Optional: mark R6 for eye placement later.
  • R6-9: sc in next 30 sts {30 sts}

    For R10, we'll be crocheting small bobbles and bobbles. The bobbles will be worked in the front loop only. Watch the step-by-step video tutorial for R10.

  • R10: sc in next 3 sts, flo bobble, sc in next 3 sts, flo small bobble, sc in next 2 sts, flo small bobble, sc in next 3 sts, flo bobble, sc in next 15 sts {30 sts}
  • R11: (dec, sc in next 3 sts) 6 times {24 sts}

    Watch the step-by-step video tutorial for the eyes and smile.

  • Place 14mm safety eyes underneath the crocheted eye. Grab a long piece of black worsted (4) weight yarn or embroidery floss and embroider a smile between R5-R6. Secure safety eyes.
  • R12: (dec, sc in next 2 sts) 6 times {18 sts}
  • Begin to stuff. Don't overstuff, you want the bottom to lay somewhat flat.
  • R13: (dec, sc) 6 times {12 sts}
  • R14: (dec) 6 times {6 sts}
  • Fasten off and leave a long piece of yarn to sew the body shut.
  • Please be aware that amigurumi contains small pieces and can be dangerous to children.
