Tutor's Suggestions

Keep your tension tight to ensure the stuffing remains hidden. If you are using safety eyes instead of beads, remember to insert them through the white and green layers before closing the head at Rnd 16. The tutor suggests that adding a small amount of blush with a pink colored pencil or real makeup under the eyes can add extra cuteness.

Conclusion

This frog pattern is a perfect foundation for learning amigurumi structure. It results in a sturdy, charming figure that holds its shape well. By following the modular steps for the head, body, and limbs, you can efficiently produce several frogs in different colors and outfits.

Tip

Use "Invisible Decreases" (insert hook into front loops only of the next two stitches) when shaping the head and body. This prevents gaps in the fabric and gives the frog a much smoother, professional surface.
