Meet Gilbert the Crochet Frog. This is a really cute Amigurumi Free Crochet Frog Pattern for you. Yes it is safe to say I am officially in love with crochet Amigurumi frogs. I made this little guy in one night and wrote the pattern out after being asked for it.
I used a 4.00mm (UK) Hook, abbreviations used in US and Aran weight yarn.
gauge is not important however when working amigurumi and making stuffed toys, working with tight tension makes it a neater finish. When decreasing make sure you are working as tightly as you can, this saves little holes that your stuffing will peep through.
You will need, some green colour yarn approx. (50 grms) I love to use up leftover yarn for this project)
Needle for threading and joining pieces together
Toy Stuffing
2 White Buttons or 2 safety eyes if going to a small child.
A little black yarn for your froggies mouth.
