This free crochet frog pattern is pretty easy, if you already know how to work in the amigurumi technique. The head and body of the frog amigurumi are crocheted as one piece, the arms and legs are separate pieces. To crochet this toy you need a plush velvet yarn (50 g/75 m) and 2.5 mm crochet hook. Using a chenille yarn like Himalaya Dolphin Baby (100 g/120 m) and 4 mm crochet hook, you can make a cute frog pillow.
