Notes

… you hold my heart forever!

I was planning to give my Dragon some red wings but my son said NO!
So I thought those red motifs will look good as a Frog ^_^

Yarn: 1010 Matador, 1116 Green

I’ve dc JAYG all my legs motifs. Tricky but fun and no sewing so far! ^_^

The link above is the method I use to join my motifs. Just replace sc with dc!

I used a 2.5mm Khook for i-cord part only.
After the sc round for the toe, I continued to knook the 1st i-cord without breaking my yarn.

Knooking is knitting with a crochet hook. Magical ^_^

As I’m using DK yarn already I didn’t re-double it for the legs!

For the Crown instead of dc, I’ve crochet 4 rounds of sc. It feels stronger.

I’ve replaced chain 6 picot with red beads.

My poor Prince would have finished ages ago but I got charmed watching Beauty & The Beast!

28th - Back legs to sew. I haven’t fold the legs to the side of the body because I want his head to hold high.

Completed with a golden heart.
^_^
