FREE PATTERN: Tree Frog

This little tree frog is not too complicated to crochet, but it does have very tiny details and
wire inside the legs, which are a bit ddly to make. But if you have some patience and enjoy
working on small details, it's right up your alley. Happy crocheting!

You will need

Yarn. I used Titan Wool Egitto, a sport weight cotton yarn, 50g =120m (50g =130yd) / 5
ply / 12 wpi / 2: ne. You will need about 20 g or 40 m (50 yd) of yarn.

2,00 - 2,75 mm crochet hook (US hook size 1/B - 2/C) or according to the yarn.

Polyester ber ll, wool, wadding etc. for stuf ng.

12 mm safety eyes or buttons, beads, felt etc.

Yarn needle, scissors, stitch marker.

Wire and strong tape or "pipe cleaner", wire cutters or pliers.

Abbreviations

mr, sc n = magic ring – crochet n single crochet stitches into the adjustable loop.

sc = single crochet stitch (double crochet stitch in UK and Australia).

sc n = crochet one single crochet stitch in next n stitches.

inc = increase – crochet two single crochet stitches in the same stitch.

inc3 = double increase – crochet three single crochet stitches in the same stitch.

dec = decrease – crochet two stitches together using the invisible decrease method.

(sc 4, inc) x n = repeat the pattern between parentheses n times.

[36] = number of stitches in a round after nishing round.

Notes

Work in a continuous spiral, do not join rounds or turn your work, unless instructed
otherwise in the pattern.

Use a stitch marker or a piece of yarn to mark the end or the beginning of a round. Move
the marker up after completing each round.

All stitches are worked into both loops, unless instructed otherwise in the pattern.

Head & Body

1: mr, sc 6 = [6]

5: sc 6, inc, sc, inc, sc, inc, sc 6 = [20]

Place a stitch marker between the 12th and 13th stitch on round 6 and leave it there. This
marks the center of the forehead. Use it as guide when placing the eyes.

7-9: sc in each stitch = [24]

Attach safety eyes to either side of the stitch marker, between rows 6 and 7, leaving 8
stitches (count 7 holes) between them.

Cut two pieces of wire long enough to t inside the legs and through the body, plus about 5
cm (2") so you you can bend back the ends. Push the wires through the body where you want
the legs to be.

Bend the end back and then wrap a bit of tape around the wire to make sure it won't poke
through the fabric.

16/06/2020 FREE PATTERN: Tree Frog – Kristi Tullus

Push the wire inside the leg and sew it to the body.

Hold up the other leg and bend the wire so it's the right length. Push it inside the second leg
and sew the leg to the body. Do the same with the front legs.
