If you’re looking for a quick and easy crochet frog pattern, you’ve just hopped into the right place! This free leggy frog crochet pattern is perfect for beginners and experienced crocheters alike.
Minimal Sewing: The crochet frog pattern is designed to minimize assembly, with only a few parts to sew—great for crocheters who prefer quicker finishes.
Long Limbs, Less Strain: Inspired by the popular leggy frog crochet pattern style, the extra-long arms and legs make crocheting easier on the hands and give the frog an irresistibly floppy charm.
Yarn & Hook: Works best with worsted weight yarn and a 4.5mm hook, but you can adjust for different sizes by changing your yarn and hook combo. If you use bulky yarn it will be roughly 8 inches tall.
Instructions
For this crochet frog pattern, we will be working in rounds.
Crochet Frog Head and Body:
Round 1: Using the green 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)
Round 2: Inc in every sc. (12)
Round 3: Make a *bobble stitch
BOBBLE STITCH: *Yarn over, insert your hook into the stitch, yarn over, pull up a loop (3 loops on hook), yarn over pull through 2 loops (2 loops remain). Repeat from *3 more times (you’ll have 4 half-finished double crochets and 5 loops on your hook), pull through all 5 loops on the hook.
Then make a sc in the next 5 stitches. Make a bobble stitch in the next stitch and then sc x5 (12).
The bobble stitches usually puff out on the wrong side of the crochet pattern, so what you need to do now is push them out to the right side of the pattern. You can usually do this with the backend of a pencil or crochet hook and just push the bobble to the other side.
Round 4: Inc, sc. Then repeat until the end of round (18).
Round 5: For this round we will start adding the cream color for the belly. But first sc x4 in green, then when making the last sc, switch the color to cream while you are finishing up the stitch. In blo, sc x5 in cream, then switch it back to green in the last stitch, then sc x9 like normal (18).
The cream stitches should be between the bobble stitches in the front of the frog.
Now is also a good time to add the eyes to the front facing sides of the bobble stitches. If you wait any longer it will be incredibly difficult to add.
Round 6-9: In green sc x4, switch to cream and sc x5, then switch back to green and sc x9 (18). Fasten off the cream yarn.
Round 10: With just the green yarn dec, sc and then repeat for the rest of the round (12). If you haven't stuffed the frog yet, you should do so now.
Round 11: Dec in every stitch of the round (6). Fasten off the yarn and sew the bottom of the frog closed. Then weave in any ends.
Crochet Frog Legs:
Make x2.
With the green yarn ch x15. In the second ch from the hook make a sl st. Then make a sl st in the following ch. *After that ch x2 and make a sl st in the second ch from the hook and then another sl st in the same place you made the last sl st before chaining 2. Repeat from * one more time for the other toe.
Once the 3 toes have been made, make a sl st in each stitch for the rest of the chain length.
Crochet Frog Arms:
Make x2.
With the green yarn ch x10. In the second ch from the hook make a sl st. Then make a sl st in the following ch. After that ch x2 and make a sl st in the second ch from the hook and then another sl st in the same place you made the last sl st before chaining 2.
Once 2 fingers have been made, make a sl st in each stitch for the rest of the chain length.
Assembly:
Sew the arms 2 rounds below the eye, 2 green stitches from the cream ones on both sides of the body.
For the legs, sew them to the second to last round on the bottom.
