Gauge

Special Techniques
- Slip Knot: Wrap yarn around two fingers, form an "X," and pull through to create a loop. Tighten by pulling the yarn's long end.
- Single Crochet (sc): Insert hook into stitch, yarn over, and pull through. Yarn over again, then pull through both loops.
- Invisible Decrease (dec): Work only through the outer loops of two stitches, yarn over, pull through both loops.
- 5 Double Crochet (DC) Cluster: Work 5 partial double crochets in the same stitch, keeping only the first pull-through on the hook. Once 6 loops remain, yarn over and pull through all loops.
- Embroidery: Use a needle to add a simple smiling face to the frog.
Pattern Instructions
Step 1: Frog
Body
- Using green chunky yarn and a 5 mm hook, create a slip knot.
- Round 1:
- Chain 8.
- Working into the second chain from the hook:
- 6 single crochets, 3 single crochets in the last chain.
- Turn to the opposite side of the foundation chain and continue with:
- 5 single crochets, 2 single crochet increases in the final stitch.
(Total: 16 stitches)
- 5 single crochets, 2 single crochet increases in the final stitch.
- Round 2:
- 5 DC cluster (for the first eye bump). Insert stitch marker to remember the first stitch.
- Single crochet into the next 4 stitches.
- Create the second 5 DC cluster for the second eye bump.
- Single crochet into the remaining 10 stitches.
- Round 3:
- Single crochet into the first stitch and mark it.
- Increase in the next stitch (2 single crochets in 1 stitch).
- Single crochet into the next 5 stitches.
- Create 3 increases (one increase in each of the next three stitches).
- Single crochet into the next 5 stitches.
- Finish the round with 2 increases.
(Total: 24 stitches)
- Rounds 4-7:
- Work even (Single crochet 28 stitches per round, no increases or decreases).
- Adjust stuffing quantity during this stage to form a firm shape.
- Round 8:
- Attach the safety eyes to the middle of each cluster (from Round 2).
- Location: Between rounds 2-3, centrally placed within the eye bumps.
- Round 9:
- Work 2 single crochets, 1 invisible decrease.
- Repeat 7 times.
(Total: 21 stitches)
- Round 10:
- Work 1 single crochet, 1 invisible decrease.
- Repeat 7 times.
_(Total: 14 stitches)
- Round 11:
- Work 7 decreases.
- Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Thread it through the last 7 loops to close the opening. Secure the yarn and weave it inside the frog.
- Smile & Blush:
- Use black embroidery thread to stitch a small smile between the eyes.
- Add blush to the cheeks (optional).
Step 2: Blanket
Base Rows
- Use cream-colored yarn to create a slip knot. Chain 31.
- Row 1:
- Single crochet into the second chain from the hook. Single crochet across the row (30 stitches). Turn.
- Row 2:
- Chain 1, single crochet into the first stitch.
- Work 1 decrease (combining the next 2 stitches).
- Single crochet into the next 24 stitches.
- Finish with 1 decrease, then 1 single crochet into the last stitch.
(Total: 28 stitches)
- Repeat the same pattern, reducing single crochets by 2 per row, until Row 9. Each row starts and ends with a decrease, leaving fewer single crochets in the middle.
Border
- Switch to light brown yarn.
- Single crochet evenly around the entire edge of the blanket.
- Base: Work 30 single crochets on the base row.
- Sides: Work 8 single crochets evenly along each side (1 sc between every two rows).
- Top: Work 10 single crochets across the top. Connect back to the starting point.
Step 3: Sewing Blanket & Finishing
- Wrap the blanket snugly around the frog.
- Use a yarn needle to sew the two sides of the blanket together at a central seam just behind the frog so it stays nicely wrapped.
Tips & Customization Ideas
- Colors: Customize frog and blanket colors based on preferences. Add stripes or motifs to the blanket for more character.
- Alternative Edges: Try scalloped or decorative borders instead of the simple single crochet for a unique finish.
- Personalized Details: Embroider initials or add details like small buttons or bows for gifting.
Important Remarks
- Stuffing Tips: Be careful not to overstuff to avoid stretching the stitches or misaligning rounds.
- Final Look: The frog will have cute 3D eye bumps, flushed cheeks, and a cozy blanket wrap.
