Make a cozy, fun-filled afternoon where you, a ball of green yarn, and a crochet hook embark on an adorable adventure, creating a little frog. Picture this cute frog not just hopping along by itself, but also with teeny-tiny accessories you craft just for it.
Crochet Frog Along With Little Accessories
Maybe it's a small hat that sits jauntily atop its head, or a dainty scarf wrapped snugly around its neck, adding splashes of color. With each stitch, you bring this charming creature to life, turning yarn into a froggy friend. This is not just crochet; it's a journey into making something utterly delightful, piece by piece.

Crochet Pattern:
Frog's Body:
Magic Ring: Start with a magic ring.
- Round 1: Make 6 sc in the magic ring, pull the ring closed, and place a stitch marker in the last stitch.
- Round 2: Inc in each stitch around (12 sc).
- Round 3-6: Continue increasing as specified for forming the spherical shape of the frog’s body, each round increasing 6 stitches evenly distributed (18, 24, 30, 36 sc respectively).
- Round 7-8: sc in each st around (42 sc).
- Round 9-11: Continue to follow the pattern as increasing, mixing sc and inc to form the body shape (increasing to 48 sc by round 11).
- Rounds 12-17: Begin decreasing following a pattern, interspersed with single crochet to taper the body (decreasing to 54 sc by round 17).
- Round 18-23: Continue decreasing more sharply to close the body, stuffing firmly before fully closing.
Legs and Feet:
- After completing the body, crochet feet using clusters of dc stitches to create a lump resembling toes.
Crochet each foot separately and attach to the body or crochet directly onto the body as required.
Eyes:
- Attach beads or crochet small spheres and attach to the face.
- Embroider or use felt for additional facial features like the mouth.
Scarf:
- Start with a slip knot and ch 2.
- Sc in each ch across, turn.
- Ch 1, sc across, turn.
- Repeat until the scarf reaches the desired length, then finish off and weave in ends.
Cross-Body Bag:
- Begin with a slip knot and ch 7.
- Turn and sc in each ch across.
- Continue around the other side of the chain base to create an oval-shaped bottom.
- Crochet up the sides, creating the height of the bag.
- Finish with a flap and attach a strap by chaining to the desired length and attaching on the opposite side.
Finishing:
Sew all parts together as needed, secure all ends, and add any additional decorative elements like a stitched smile, blush on the cheeks, or a pattern on the belly.
