MATERIALS to prepare for this project:
Cascade Yarns- Pacific Chunky Effects color#313 (variegated earthy tones). This yarn is 60% acrylic and 40% Merino Wool. 7 frogs can be made from one skein 120 yard/ 100g/ 3.5 oz. An equivalent bulky #5 yarn can be used. Plush or Velvet is not recommended because it can break under pressure from pulling tightly at certain points. A very small amount of black worsted weight yarn for the (optional) unhappy mouth and/or eyebrows. If you use a different yarn, the results will differ as well.
Size 4.5 mm crochet hook. If you use smaller hooks or have a tighter tension, the stitching will be tighter, and your frog will be smaller. Choose what will create a solid look that is tightly woven with no ‘holes’ where stuffing could show through.
A stitch marker is helpful.
Poly-fill (or equivalent) stuffing & 10mm (or 12mm) safety eyes. If you have used smaller (or larger) yarn & hooks, please choose the size of eyes that will work with your final result.
Darning needle for sewing yarn & Scissors
