This easy Crochet Frog Hat Pattern will keep you nice and toasty during fall and winter and its super cute! The crochet frog hat is super easy to make can be made to fit any sized head.
The crochet frog hat pattern is a great and easy make for beginners because it is made with 1 type of stitch for the base of the hat and is made using the flat rectangle method. No joining rounds, increasing or decreasing is necessary to make this pattern!
The crochet frog beanie is also very subtle so unless you are up close to the wearer it looks like a perfectly normal crochet green beanie. This is great if you want to be subtle yet trendy with the crochet frog trend.
Another crochet frog pattern you can check out is my crochet frog bag pattern.

✏️ Things To Note:
- I used acrylic worsted yarn for this free easy crochet frog hat pattern. Any type of yarn would work for this crochet frog beanie pattern- cotton, chunky etc.
- By using a 5.5mm hook, my crochet rectangle for my crochet beanie pattern is roughly 14 inches by 22 inches. I would say my head is about medium sized. If you need to adjust the height or length to fit someone's head please make adjustments!
- If you are wanting to make this crochet bear hat pattern for a kid I recommend chaining 25-30 and then following the pattern as normal but only doing 30-35 rows. Adjust as needed as it all depends on the age of the kid. I have never made this hat for a kid so please keep size in mind as these suggestions may need to change.
🪡 Materials Needed
- 1 skein of green yarn
- Small amount of pink
- Small amount of black.
- Safety eyes
- 5.5mm hook
- Tapestry needle for weaving in the ends and sewing pieces together
💭 Abbreviations to Remember (US Terms)
- Magic ring (MR)
- Single crochet (sc)
- Chains (ch)
- Half double crochet (hdc)
- Back loop only (blo)
- Double crochet (dc)
🧋 Variations
Try using different shades of green or making different sizes by varying the amount of rows
🍵 Instructions
For this pattern we will be working mostly in rows.
Row 1: Ch x41, turn
Row 2: In the second chain from the hook, make a hdc. Continue to make hdc for the rest of the row. (40) At the end of the row, ch x1 and turn. (The ch is a turning ch, you will be making these every row but do not work in them!)
Row 3: In blo, hdc for the entire row (40). Ch x1 and turn
Row 4-44: Repeat row 3. (40). Ch x1 and turn.
Use more or less rows depending on the size of hat you are trying to achieve.
Before fastening off the yarn you want to fold the rectangle in half and then sew it shut.
After the side of the hat has been sewn shut, take the yarn and cinch the top of the hat shut. Fasten off and weave in the end.
Once that is done, flip the hat inside out so now the sewn edges are on the inside of the hat.
Brim:
Figure out what side of the hat you want as the front side. Then insert your yarn onto the edge and make a sc. Make 10 more sc.
Now for the frog eye socket: You are going to make a crochet shell stitch. To do this yarn over , skip a stitch, and then insert the yarn and make a dc. In the same stitch make another 5 dc’s in it. Then skip the next stitch and sc into the following stitch.
Sc x10, then make another shell stitch as outlined above. Once that is done finish sc the rest of the brim. Fasten off and weave in the ends.
Cheeks:
Round 1: With pink yarn, make a MR and make sc x6 in the circle. If you find it difficult making a magic ring you can chain 2 and then crochet sc x6 in the second chain from the hook. (6) Slip stitch to the first sc and fasten off.
Finishing:
Insert safety eyes to the frog's eye sockets.
With black yarn embroider the mouth by making a straight line across between the eyes.
Then sew on the cheeks below and slightly left/right of the eyes. Make sure to only sew it through the brim and not both the brim and hat.
And once all of that is done, the ends are weaved in, your crochet frog hat made from my crochet frog hat pattern is completed! I hope you enjoy your crochet frog beanie as much as I had fun designing the pattern for it!
🧵 FAQs
I use worsted weight, but you can try any kind of yarn. I like a medium bright green or olive but any should do! Choose your favorite!
Absolutely! Just make sure the wool is super wash wool, otherwise there might be a lot of shrinkage if it gets washed.
Since my safety eyes only go through the brim of the hat, the safety eye posts don't touch my head.

What size safety eyes would you recommend for this beanie?

Great pattern! Finished result here: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Kittyk4y/froggie-beanie

I love it! It turned out great!
Bailey says
I was wondering how you went about cinching the top of the hat so that it was more round than square. Mine is square as I just joined the two parts.
KimberlyArenas says
To cinch in the top I just weave tapestry needle with yarn attached at the top opening. Each stitch is about an inch long and they are right at the very edge of the top. Then pull tight.
Bailey says
Do you join the sides and then cinch or just cinch?
KimberlyArenas says
I join the sides and then cinch.
Bailey says
Had a little trouble with the edging on the brim since this was one of my first crochet patterns, but managed to figure it out in the end. Came out great!
Bailey says
I'm having trouble with the brim, I don't understand how I'm suppose to make the eye sockets. If I could see some process photos, or a video. Thanks!
KimberlyArenas says
The eye socket is done just like a shell stitch, you are going to single crochet, then skip a stitch (or the next row), then double crochet 6 times into the following stitch (or row). Then skip a stitch and single crochet. You create a wide fan shape by skipping the spaces directly next to the single crochet and double crochet stitches. The eye goes into the small hole the shell stitch makes. I unfortunately don't have any videos but you can find many on the internet for creating a shell stitch 🙂
