I’ll be honest with you — I am genuinely afraid of real frogs. But this little crochet frog hat? Completely obsessed.

The Crochet Frog Bucket Hat is the newest addition to my Summer Kids’ Bucket Hat Collection, and it is so much fun to make. The base hat is worked top-down in continuous rounds using all single crochet — clean, easy, and beginner-friendly. Then comes the really fun part: large 3D eyes, rosy pink cheeks, an embroidered smile, a sweet little red tongue, and the most darling frog toes sewn right along the brim.
