Crochet Chubby Frog Amigurumi: Written Instructions

This project shows you how to crochet a small, round frog. It is a simple and fast craft to make. You start at the top of the head and work your way down to the bottom of the body. You use green yarn for most of the frog and a small amount of white yarn to make a patch on its belly.

The frog has little bumps for its eyes on top of its head, and two more bumps at the bottom for its feet. You put soft stuffing inside to make it round and plump. Finally, you stick on plastic safety eyes and sew a small black mouth. It makes a perfect keychain or small toy.

• Crochet Hook: 2.5 mm size hook.
• Stuffing: Soft polyester fiberfill.
• Eyes: Plastic safety eyes (or black thread if you want to sew them).
• Thread: Black sewing thread or thin yarn for the mouth.
• Tools: Yarn needle, scissors, stitch marker, and a hot glue gun to attach the eyes.

Assembly and Details:

• Cut your green yarn, making sure to leave a long tail end for sewing the body closed.
• Stuff the frog tightly with your polyester fiberfill until it looks round and fat.
• Thread your yarn needle with the long green tail. Weave the needle in and out through the middle of every second stitch around the bottom opening. Pull the yarn tight to close the hole perfectly, knot it, and hide the excess yarn inside the body.
• Thread your needle with black thread. Choose a spot around the third row from the top, right between the two eye bumps, and sew a simple, tiny “V” shape or straight line to give your frog a cute smile.
• Use your hot glue gun to attach the plastic safety eyes directly onto the front side of the two eye bumps on top of the head. Your cute frog is now finished!
