Frog Body Pattern:

Start by Making the Head:

• Create a magic circle.

Round 1:

• Do 5 single crochets (sc) into the magic circle. Close the circle.

Round 2:

• Perform 5 increases by doing two sc in each stitch, increasing stitch count from 5 to 10.

After Round 3-4:

• Sc in each stitch around for two rounds (total of 20 sc).

Decrease for Shaping the Body:

Round 5:

• Do 4 decreases and then 1 slip stitch; you should have 6 sc remaining.

Stuff the Body:

• Use fiberfill to stuff the frog’s body to your desired firmness.

Finish the Body:

• Close up the body using your crochet hook and yarn needle, hiding the final end inside the stuffed body.

Eyes (Make 2):

Create Each Eye:

• Start with a magic circle using green yarn.
• Do 4 sc into the circle, then cut the yarn leaving a tail for sewing.

Attach the Eyes:

• Sew the eyes between rows 1 and 2 for the inner part, and between rows 2 and 3 for the outer part.
• Secure and hide the ends within the head.

Face Details:

Embroider the Smile:

• Use black embroidery yarn and a darning needle.
• Sew a smile line starting from between rows 2 and 3.
• Thread the yarn slightly loose to shape the mouth as desired.

Add Pupils:

• With a permanent marker, gently dab and create small circular pupils on the white parts of each eye.

Lily Pad:

Crochet the Lily Pad:

• Make a magic circle with the same green yarn.

The pattern:

• Chain 2, 12 double crochets into the circle, then chain 3 and slip stitch back into the circle.
• Close the circle and cut the yarn, leaving a tail for attaching.

Connecting Chain:

Crochet the Chain:

• Using pink yarn (or your chosen color), chain 65.
• Cut the yarn leaving tails for attachment.

Assembly:

• Attach one end of the chain to the frog and the other end to the lily pad using the tails. Ensure strong knots and hide any loose ends securely.

Final Remarks:

• Make sure to shape the lily pad by pinching the corners slightly after finishing the crocheting part.
• Adjust the position of facial features to your liking before securing everything tightly.
