Spring is in the air, and with spring comes frogs! Glorious frogs! As a kid, I remember having fun catching frogs in the creek with my sisters. We’d hold their soft, slimy bodies in our hands until they’d hop away. (I have since learned that you shouldn’t hold frogs without gloves on for the safety of both you and the frog!)
These days, I don’t go searching for frogs in the wild, but I do enjoy making cute frog themed art! I wanted to share this simple frog amigurumi pattern with you so that you could crochet a cute, round froggy friend of your very own and spread the froggy love.<3 So let’s hop to it!
Below are some video tutorials (both left and right handed) in case you want to follow a video for extra guidance with crocheting this frog or just want someone to crochet with! If you’d rather follow a written pattern, keep scrolling down.

Materials
3.25mm crochet hook
6mm safety eyes (1 pair)
Black embroidery thread
Green worsted weight yarn (I use the brand Loops & Thread’s Impeccable Yarn in the shade Citron)
Fiberfill stuffing
Scissors
Sewing pins
Yarn needle
Stitch markers (optional)
Eyes (make 2)
Using green yarn.
Row 1. magic circle with 6 sc stitches (6)
Row 2. inc x 6 (12)
Row 3. sc x 12 (12)
Fasten off with a slip stitch. Leave a long tail for sewing onto the frog’s body.
Once you’ve finished crocheting the eye, it is time to attach the 6mm safety eye in place.
Insert the safety eye between rows 2 & 3. Secure backing onto the safety eye. Once secured, your frog eye should look like the below photo.
Arms/Legs (make 4)
Using green yarn.
Row 1. magic circle with 5 sc stitches (5)
Row 2. sc x 5 (5)
Row 3. sc x 5 (5)
Fasten off with a slip stitch. Leave a long tail for sewing onto the frog’s body.
Body
Using green yarn.
Row 1. magic circle with 6 sc stitches (6)
Row 2. inc x 6 (12)
Row 3. [sc, inc] x 6 (18)
Row 4. [sc x 2, inc] x 6 (24)
Row 5. [sc x 3, inc] x 6 (30)
Row 6. sc x 30 (30)
Row 7. sc x 30 (30)
Row 8. sc x 30 (30)
Row 9. sc x 30 (30)
Row 10. sc x 30 (30)
Once you’ve completed row 10, your frog’s body should look like this:
Now it is time to sew the mouth onto your frog! For this step you will need your yarn needle and black embroidery thread. Thread your needle with the black embroidery thread. Continue following the steps in the below photos to create your frog’s mouth.
Row 11. sc x 30 (30)
Row 12. [sc x 3, dec] x 6 (24)
Row 13. [sc x 2, dec] x 6 (18)
Row 14. [sc, dec] x 6 (12)
Stuff firmly with fiber fill stuffing.
Row 15. dec x 6 (6)
Sew the hole closed and weave in the ends.
Putting the Pieces Together
Now that we’ve completed the eyes, arms/legs, and body of our frog, it is time to sew all of the pieces in place!
Using sewing pins, pin the eyes into place. Use the below photos to guide you on placement. I placed my eyes about 1.5 rows to the left and right of the top of the body.
Next, pin the arms and legs into place. I placed my frog’s arms about 1 row down from the bottom of the eyes. For the legs, I placed them about 4 rows below the arms.
Once all of the pieces are pinned onto your frog, use the yarn tails attached to each piece to sew the pieces to the body.
And that is it! You now have a cute amigurumi froggy friend of your very own! I hope you enjoyed this pattern! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me and I will do my best to reply as soon as I can.

Hello
Do you have the pattern for the bigger size?
Hello! Thank you so much for your comment! I do not have a pattern for a bigger size of these frogs using the same weight 4 yarn. However, if you use a thicker yarn than what I list in the materials section and a larger hook size, you can use this same frog pattern and your frog will turn out larger! I have a separate blog post here where I list 3 different yarn and hook sizes that you can use to create a larger frog and still use this same pattern. I hope that helps! ππΈ
Might make this for my SO (significant other) for Valentines Day cause they love frogs π
That is so sweet! I hope your SO loves the Valentines Day frog you make them!π
