Round 1: With green yarn, work 9 sc into a Magic Ring. (9)

2. Closing: Close the remaining hole using a yarn needle and weave in the ends.
3. The Mouth: Using green yarn, crochet 6 sc across the face area to create a small smile. Fasten off and hide the ends.
4. The Eyes: Insert and secure the 8mm safety eyes (or glue them on) between the head and the belly area.

Your tiny plush frog is now complete! You can leave it as a freestanding toy or attach a keychain ring to the top of its head to take your froggy friend on the go.
