3. Materials Needed

– Hook: 3.5mm or 4.0mm crochet hook

– Needle: Tapestry needle for sewing

– Marker: Stitch marker

– Optional extras: Pipe cleaners (for flower stems), buttons (for decorative accents)

4. Designer Notes / Tips

When crocheting this Flower Frog, you’ll be using basic stitches such as single crochet (sc) and increases (inc) to create the plushie’s shape. If you’re new to making plushies, don’t worry if your first round isn’t perfect – it will all come together beautifully!

For stuffing, I recommend using a light to medium density; this helps maintain a soft and huggable plush while preventing any lumps. When assembling, ensure you have the right placement for safety eyes before fully closing the head, so they sit perfectly on your frog’s face.

If you need yarn substitutions, any worsted weight yarn will work well, but I recommend using soft fibers like acrylic or cotton for a cuddly feel. Keep an eye on your gauge to ensure your plushie turns out to the intended size. Lastly, for a more child-safe version, consider embroidering the eyes instead of using safety eyes.
