Pattern Overview:
- The pattern creates a no-sew amigurumi frog, meaning all pieces are crocheted in one go or attached as you crochet, eliminating the need for sewing parts together.
- It includes techniques like the magic ring (magic circle), single crochet stitches, increases, decreases, color changes, and specifically designed stitches like the popcorn stitch for texture.
Crochet Pattern:
Starting with Dark Green Yarn:
- Magic Ring: Form a magic ring and crochet 6 single crochet (sc) stitches inside it.
Round 1:
- Work 6 sc stitches within the magic ring. Utilize a yarn under technique for tighter stitches though yarn over is also acceptable.
Round 2:
- Increase (Inc) by crocheting 2 sc in each stitch around (12 stitches total).
For Round 3:
- Sc, Inc repeat around, adding a 4-Stitch Popcorn Stitch two times within the round to create the eye bumps (18 stitches total).
Rounds 4-7:
- Sc in each stitch around, maintaining 24 stitches.
Round 8:
- This round involves color changes. 2 Sc, Inc repeated in sections with 3 times in dark green, once in light green, followed by specific instructions to shape the face and body (32 stitches total).
For Round 9:
- Continue with single crochet stitches but include 5-Stitch Popcorn Stitches for added texture, following the color change pattern as directed.
Rounds 10-12:
- These rounds involve further sculpting with sc stitches and strategic increases, decreases, and detailed color changes to finish the body shape and facial features.
Adding Features:
- Eyes: Insert safety eyes between rounds 3 and 4, next to the popcorn stitches.
- Mouth: Use black yarn to embroider a mouth below the eyes.
Finishing Touches:
- Stuff the amigurumi with polyester fiberfill.
- Close the opening at the bottom with a darning needle and a strand of dark green yarn by weaving through the outer loops of the stitches, pulling tight to close, and securing with a knot.
- Weave in any loose ends.
Notes:
The popcorn stitches create a 3D effect for the frog’s eyes and add character.
- The pattern includes clever techniques for color changes to create a seamless appearance.
- Adjustments can be made for a firmer or softer amigurumi by varying the amount of stuffing.
- The description suggests cutting the yarn with each color change for ease, though this may vary per personal preference.
