• Main style: Amigurumi worked in continuous rounds unless stated otherwise
• Finished frog size: about 15 to 17 inches tall from top of eyes to toe tips, depending on yarn, tension, and stuffing

Head Base

The head is a wide rounded oval with a very broad horizontal mouth opening. Do not make the head too deep. It should look flatter and wider than a standard amigurumi ball. This shape is one of the most important parts of the design.

Upper Head in Green

1. R1: 6 sc in mr. (6)
2. R2: inc around. (12)
3. R3: (sc, inc) x 6. (18)
4. R4: (2 sc, inc) x 6. (24)
5. R5: (3 sc, inc) x 6. (30)
6. R6: (4 sc, inc) x 6. (36)
7. R7: (5 sc, inc) x 6. (42)
8. R8: (6 sc, inc) x 6. (48)
9. R9: (7 sc, inc) x 6. (54)
10. R10: (8 sc, inc) x 6. (60)
11. R11: (9 sc, inc) x 6. (66)
12. R12: (10 sc, inc) x 6. (72)
13. R13: (11 sc, inc) x 6. (78)
14. R14-R19: sc around. (78)

Flatten slightly while stuffing the crown only very lightly. The head should not become a round ball. Keep the face area mostly soft for shaping.

Lower Jaw in Green

The lower jaw is made separately to create the large smile.

1. Ch 21.
2. R1: Starting in 2nd ch from hook, sc 19, 3 sc in last ch, working on opposite side sc 18, inc in last st. (42)
3. R2: inc, 18 sc, 3 inc, 18 sc, 2 inc. (48)
4. R3: sc around. (48)
5. R4: (7 sc, inc) x 6. (54)
6. R5-R7: sc around. (54)

Fasten off with long tail. Stuff very lightly only along the front curve. Keep the back edge flat.

Mouth Lining in Dark Green or Black-Green

1. Ch 19.
2. R1: Starting in 2nd ch from hook, sc 17, 3 sc in last ch, on opposite side sc 16, inc in last st. (38)
3. R2-R3: sc around. (38)

Fasten off. Sew this inside the mouth cavity so the smile opening looks deeper.

Head Assembly

Place the lower jaw over the front lower half of the upper head. Leave a wide mouth opening across the center front. Sew the jaw neatly into place, following a gentle upward curve at both ends. Insert the mouth lining before closing the side seams.

Stuff the side areas and top of the head gradually. Keep the front mouth area flatter than the crown. The frog in the image has a soft, broad face and a very open smile, not a tightly stuffed muzzle.

Eye Mounds Make 2

Outer Eye in Green

1. R1: 6 sc in mr. (6)
2. R2: inc around. (12)
3. R3: (sc, inc) x 6. (18)
4. R4: (2 sc, inc) x 6. (24)
5. R5: sc around. (24)
6. R6: (2 sc, dec) x 6. (18)

Stuff lightly.

Eye White Make 2

1. R1: 6 sc in mr. (6)
2. R2: inc around. (12)
3. R3: (sc, inc) x 6. (18)
4. R4: sc around. (18)

Fasten off. Sew the white oval onto the front of each green eye mound. Attach a black eye near the upper outer area of each white piece, matching the playful sideways expression in the image.

Sew both eye mounds on top of the head, slightly angled outward. Leave a small gap between them. The eyes should sit high and upright, not flat against the face.

Cheeks Make 2

1. R1: 6 sc in mr. (6)
2. R2: inc around. (12)
3. R3: (sc, inc) x 6. (18)

Fasten off. Flatten lightly and sew one cheek on each side of the mouth line, placed low on the face. They should be soft blush circles, not thick stuffed pieces.

Torso

The torso is narrow and simple because most of it is covered by the overalls. Keep it soft but not floppy. It should fit smoothly under the bib front.

1. R1: 6 sc in mr. (6)
2. R2: inc around. (12)
3. R3: (sc, inc) x 6. (18)
4. R4: (2 sc, inc) x 6. (24)
5. R5: (3 sc, inc) x 6. (30)
6. R6-R9: sc around. (30)
7. R10: (3 sc, dec) x 6. (24)
8. R11-R13: sc around. (24)
9. R14: (2 sc, dec) x 6. (18)
10. R15-R17: sc around. (18)

Stuff lightly and fasten off with long tail. Sew the torso centered under the head, directly behind the mouth area. Because the frog is dressed, the neckline can be slightly hidden under the top edge of the overalls.

Arms Make 2

The arms are very long, thin, and flexible. Each hand has four rounded fingers. Work the fingers first, then join them.

Finger Make 4 per Hand

1. R1: 6 sc in mr. (6)
2. R2-R5: sc around. (6)

Fasten off on first 3 fingers. Do not fasten off on 4th finger.

Join Hand

1. From 4th finger, sc 3, join to 3rd finger with 1 sc, sc 5 around 3rd finger, join to 2nd finger with 1 sc, sc 5 around 2nd finger, join to 1st finger with 1 sc, sc 5 around 1st finger, sc 3 back on 4th finger area. (24)
2. R2: sc around, working over joins neatly. (24)
3. R3: (2 sc, dec) x 6. (18)
4. R4: (sc, dec) x 6. (12)

Stuff only the finger tips lightly.

Arm Length

1. R5-R28: sc around. (12)
2. R29: (4 sc, dec) x 2. (10)
3. R30-R34: sc around. (10)

Fasten off with long tail. Do not overstuff. Insert a little stuffing in the hand and lower arm, leaving upper arm lightly stuffed for posing.

Sew the arms at the upper sides of the torso so they angle slightly downward. In the image the arms are very long, reaching well below the body and extending outward naturally.

Legs Make 2

The legs are even longer than the arms and have large four-toed feet. They should look relaxed and drapey.

Toe Make 4 per Foot

1. R1: 6 sc in mr. (6)
2. R2-R6: sc around. (6)

Fasten off on first 3 toes. Leave the 4th attached.

Join Foot

1. Using the same joining method as hands, connect all 4 toes. Total after join: 24 sts.
2. R2: sc around. (24)
3. R3: (2 sc, dec) x 6. (18)
4. R4: (sc, dec) x 6. (12)

Stuff toe tips well enough to keep them rounded.

Leg Length

1. R5-R34: sc around. (12)
2. R35: (4 sc, dec) x 2. (10)
3. R36-R40: sc around. (10)

Fasten off with long tail. Stuff lightly. Sew both legs to the bottom of the torso with enough space between them to fit the overalls neatly. The legs should hang long and straight.

Shaping Tips for a Closer Match

The success of this frog depends on shaping just as much as stitch counts. If your doll looks too rounded, remove some stuffing from the head and torso. The photo shows a flatter face, a gentle body, and long dangling limbs with relaxed movement.

Use your hands to press the mouth rim slightly forward so the smile appears broad and shelf-like. The lower jaw should extend outward in a soft rounded tube. This detail creates the frog’s cheerful expression and should not be skipped.

The fingers and toes should be slim at the base and rounded at the tips. Stuff only the ends enough to define each digit. Overstuffed hands and feet will lose the elegant splayed look seen in the image.

For the overalls, keep the fabric neat and slightly structured. Cotton yarn works especially well because it holds the outfit shape cleanly. If the bib curls, lightly steam block it before sewing on the straps and flower details.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Check that both eye mounds angle slightly outward and sit evenly on the head. Make sure the cheeks are level and placed low beside the mouth. The sunflower should sit close to one eye without covering it. Adjust the mouth edge gently so the smile stays wide and open.

Care Notes

Store the frog in a cool, dry place away from strong sunlight. If used as décor, dust lightly with a soft brush. Avoid pulling on the bees, hat flowers, or shoe embellishments because they are small attached details.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Head is wide, soft, and not too round
• Mouth opening is broad and centered
• Eyes are tall and slightly angled outward
• Arms and legs are long and evenly matched
• Overalls fit snugly and bib sits centered
• Hat has blue band and white daisies
• Bag crosses the body diagonally
• Shoes match in size and trim
• Bee accents are securely attached
• Sunflower placement looks balanced

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap when possible. For deeper cleaning, hand wash gently in cool water, press out moisture with a towel, and air dry flat. Do not twist the limbs. Reshape the hat brim, smile edge, and overall bib while damp.
