Small Frog
By Livecold
Pattern information
This pattern is for a small amigurumi frog, about 2” tall. This is a very small pattern, so
stitches may be hard to work into at times, especially the arms which use a magic circle of 4.
The arms can be replaced with I-cords if you find them too hard to work into. This pattern is
worked in continuous rounds (spirals) using the normal yarn over single crochet.
Materials
● 4 mm (G) hook
● Worsted weight yarn- 2 colors, one for body and one for stomach
● 6 mm safety eyes
● Poly fil/stuffing

Sewing directions
Sew the stomach on first, lining the final row of the stomach up between rows 4 and 5 on the
frog- there should be a one row gap between the eyes and stomach.
Sew the legs on between rows 7 and 10 of the body, near the outside of the stomach. The
legs should overlap the stomach a bit here.
Sew the arms just outside the top of the stomach.
