Adding Structure and Fingers:

  1. Cut two pieces of flexible wire (20-25 cm each): one for the arms, one for the legs.
  2. Insert the wire into the first arm, pushing one end through the magic ring.
  3. Bend the other end of the wire into a small triangle and position it inside the end of the arm to create a webbed foot/hand shape.
  4. Round 14 (The Paws): Flatten the last round of the arm. Working through both layers, perform (1 sc, ch 3) 5 times, then 1 sc through the last 2 stitches. The ch-3 loops form the fingers/toes. Fasten off.
  5. Repeat for the second arm up to Round 13. Leave it unattached for now.

Eyes (Make 2)

Using white yarn:

  • Round 1: MR, 6 sc [6]
  • Round 2: inc in each st around [12]
  • Rounds 3-4: sc in each st around [12]

Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing. Place a 7mm safety eye in the center of each white circle. Sew the eyes to the front of the head between Rounds 2 and 6, leaving a gap of 3 sc between them.

The Crown

Using pink yarn:

  1. Chain 20 and join with a slip stitch to the first chain to form a circle.
  2. Round 1: ch 1, working into the base chain: (1 sc, 1 dc, 1 tr, 1 dc, 1 sc) repeat 4 times. Join with a slip stitch to the first sc.

Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing. Sew the crown to the top of the head, tilting the frog’s body slightly forward for a cute look.

The Heart

The heart is made of two semi-spheres joined together. Using white yarn:

Semi-sphere (Make 2):

  • Round 1: MR, 6 sc [6]
  • Round 2: inc in each st around [12]
  • Rounds 3-4: sc in each st around [12]

For the first semi-sphere, fasten off. For the second, do NOT fasten off.

Joining and Finishing the Heart:

  • Round 5: Join the two pieces by working 12 sc around the first semi-sphere and 12 sc around the second [24].
  • Round 6: sc in each st around [24]
  • Round 7: (2 sc, dec) repeat 6 times [18]
  • Round 8: (1 sc, dec) repeat 6 times [12]

Stuff the heart with fiberfill.

  • Round 9: dec around [6]

Fasten off and sew the small hole closed.

Assembly and Finishing Touches

  1. Attach Arms: Pass the wire from the first arm through the body (from one side to the other) between Rounds 12 and 13. Insert the wire into the second arm. Bend the wire into a triangle for the second hand and complete Round 14 to close the paw.
  2. Attach Legs: Repeat the wire process for the legs, passing the wire through the body between Rounds 20 and 21.
  3. Facial Details:
    • Using pink yarn, embroider two small “French knots” as heart-shaped cheeks on either side of the eyes.
    • Using black thread, embroider a wide, smiling mouth.
  4. Final Placement: Shape the legs so the frog can stand. Bend the arms forward and place the heart between the paws, securing it with a few small stitches.
  5. Clean up: Weave in all remaining yarn ends
