Learn how to make your own frog (with a secret stash pouch) in just 30 minutes.
Crochet Frog Tutorial
Hiya Steemit Crochet Family!
Here's a 30-min tutorial with step-by-step instructions to make your very own crochet frog with secret stash pouch. Apart from the sewing, this is made using only two stitches: chain stitch (ch) and double crochet (dc). If you'd like to learn how, you can view the tutorial here.
First, make the body. This is a basic ball shape and can be used to make all kinds of 3D objects. You start by creating a flat circle.
Then you build it out to a larger circle.
When you're happy with the size, you start to create depth. You see the ball start to take shape. When you're happy with its size, you reduce a couple of rows then add stuffing. When the stuffing is added, you then reduce further to close the shape.
Next to make are the two eyes. These are quick and easy.
With a contrast colour you form a spiral circle to make the belly and lips.
Then we make two feet. This starts out as a spiral circle and is shaped by adding 'toes'. We build up the rows until we're happy with the size and shape.
Next are the two arms with froggy fingers. This is made by crocheting a tube in one piece and adding extra long fingers.
Last of all, you sew it together and add contrasting details.
I hope you enjoyed the tutorial. If there are any questions, please ask in the comments section below.
