Notes
- Yarn and Hook Information: I used acrylic worsted yarn for this free, easy crochet frog hat pattern. Any type of yarn like cotton, chunky, etc. will work for this crochet frog beanie pattern.
- Hook Size and Dimensions: Using a 5.5mm hook, my crochet rectangle for the beanie measures roughly 14 inches by 22 inches. I’d consider my head medium-sized. Adjust the height or length as needed to fit different head sizes!
- Kid-Sized Crochet Frog Hat: For a kid-sized crochet frog hat, I recommend chaining 25-30 and then following the pattern as normal, completing only 30-35 rows. Adjust based on the child’s age. Since I haven’t made this hat for a child, keep sizing in mind as suggestions may need adjustments.
Instructions
For this pattern we will be working mostly in rows.
- Ch x41, turn
- Row 1: 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 2: In blo, hdc for the entire row (40). Ch x1 and turn.
- Row 3-44: Repeat row 2 (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 or crochet it shut. (I crocheted mine).
- 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:
- The seam should be the back center of the hat. Join the green yarn at the seam and then sc a quarter of the way around the hat (if the hat is laid flat with seam at the center, you should be at the side of the hat).
- Sc x10.
- Now for the frog eye socket: *Make a sl st.
- Now 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 4 dc’s in it (5 total). Then skip the next stitch and sl st into the following stitch.
- Sc x10, repeat from * one more time.
- Once that is done sc the rest of the brim. Fasten off and weave in the ends.
Finishing:
- Insert safety eyes to the frog's eye sockets. Use a big washer so the eyes don't fall out.
- With black yarn embroider the mouth by making a straight line across between the eyes.
- Optional blush:
- Make a mr and sc x6. Then sl st to the first sc. Fasten off the yarn and leave a tail for sewing. Then sew below and to the outer edge of the eyes.
- 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!
