And of course, I'd love it if you linked him up to my party 🙂
How did you sew on the mouth? (The red yarn)… Did you sew it on before the rosey pink cheeks?
So sew it on before pinky cheek.
Hi. This is adorable! I was wondering by row 7-8 should the sides be wavy? or should it still be flat? I have counted all my stitches and they are all right.
if you mean row7-8 of the body? the shape will be circle.
yes. it is a circle but the sides of it are wavy. i am using a size g hook
i was wondering what hook size you used on the pictures. 🙂 i am using size e hook.
i use 1.50mm hook but you can use any hook size to make Mr. frog , just the finall size will be bigger if you use bigger hook.
how many stiches you got at the end of round7-8?
I’ll be making it in camo colors first i think… make it mr toad! lol I also have spring green, and can make it out of that, but it will be much smaller as it’s just sport weight yarn! 😀 thanks for the pattern~
Oh I love your spring green colour he will came out so cute.
Could you give instruction on how you did the mouth? I can’t quite figure it out by the picture. He is very cute and I have decided that my new grandson will be into Frogs and Mr. Frog will be the perfect addition. Thank you for sharing!!
Shelly
HI Shelly,
thank you so much for stopping by my blog, for make the mouth just use yarn needle to sew the mouth with pink colour yarn. Hope this help.
Hi, I love your pattern of mr Frog. I have a question since this is my first amigurimi. After I finished the head I don’t know which side to put on the outside and I really can’t tell from the pictures. My second question is when you did the decreases to use one or both front and back loop. Sorry for maybe asking silly questions but it really is my first.
Thank you !
Astrid
Hi Astrid,
the side that look nice will be outside for decrease use both loop front and back.
Hope this help
jane
