Update 04/04/13: I’ve updated the pattern to include an extra step in the i-cord leg section.

Meet Frederick the Frog, he’s a fast and easy crocheted toy that can be finished in a day.
Side note:
Fred was inspired by the Design Your Own Monster Course on Craftsy and was originally designed to be donated to a local organization to help raise funds for student bursaries.
