What you will need to crochet the Leggy FROG 

Pro Tips for Success

Making it for a baby? Embroider those eyes instead of using safety eyes.

Tight stitches = Use the Yarn under single crochet method for tight stitches and for no stuffing leaks.

Use a stitch marker to keep your rounds clean.

Lightly stuff the limbs to keep them floppy and poseable.

Is this Frog pattern beginner-friendly?

I  say YES it is an incredibly easy and quick crochet project, I love to crochet these when I am bored as a little fill-in, as I KNOW these sell faster than I can make them in summer and at craft fairs.

To crochet the Frog You will need some understanding of –

• working in the round without joining
• placing a marker at the beginning of rounds
• working a  4 double crochet together ALL worked into the SAME space – sounds hard but it’s actually quite easy. Just work the double crochet to ONE step before finishing collecting the loops onto your hook and draw through once you have 4 half-done double crochets

Overall View of the Leggy Frog Pattern

• 🧶 No-sew, one-piece construction – This pattern is worked top-down in a single continuous piece. No sewing, no attaching limbs later.
• Start at the head – Begin with a simple foundation chain and work around it to form the head.
• The Frog Bumpy eyes are built in – These are created in the second round as part of the head shaping.
• Arms are crocheted as you go –
  • Chain out for each arm.
  • Slip stitch back along the chain to form long limbs with finger-like pads.
  • Join directly back into the body — no need to sew them on later.
• Body is worked in single crochet – After the arms, continue crocheting the body in rounds.
• Legs are added just like the arms –
  • Long and floppy, perfect for that classic “leggy frog” look.
  • Great for posing, hugging, or hanging from shelves.
• Perfect for beginners or quick makes – No separate pieces, no stress. Just fun, fast frogging!
• Ideal for gifting, markets, or playtime – The finished frog is full of personality and charm.

Special NOTES for ARMS and Frogs LEGS:  

Because you are working in the round the Seam will jump 1 st across each round so the best and easiest way to find where to make the arms and LEGS for the Frog is to fold the piece in HALF and mark both sides equally apart! And work your chains into these stitches

What you will need to crochet the Leggy FROG 

I have included ideas for yarn and hook sizes and how they worked out for me.

25 grms of Yarn  (your choice),

Aran weight yarn, and 6.00mm hook (the Leggy Frog measured – length of BODY = 6 inches, and 3.25 inches across)

DK weight yarn TO crochet the Leggy frog in DK weight, I would use a 4.0mm hook was making this 5.5 inches in Height 3 inches WIDE

Free Pattern to Crochet a leggy frog NO Sew

• If using plushie yarn (when making the eyes in PLUSHIE YARN, you may find it easier to crochet 3DcTog instead of the 4!)

Notes: I would use a stitch marker (I prefer to use a length of alternate color yarn, to ensure you keep track of the beginning and ends of Rounds)

Chain 11 to start.

Round 1: Working into the 2nd chain from your hook, Sc into each chain across to the Last st, work 2Sc into the LAST st, swivel your work 180 Degrees, and Sc into the back of the 9 chains back along the opposite side of the chain. (20sts in total – 10sts each side) Do Not join continue working in the round

Place a stitch marker HERE and move at the completion of every round

Round 2: work 4DCtog, sc into the next 7 sts, Work 4DCtog, sc in each stitch to the end of the round.

Round 3 to Round 6: Sc into each st around. (20sts)

How to Crochet Frogs Legs and ARMS for the Leggy Frog 

Round 7: 

• sc into the FIRST stitch, in the 2nd stitch of round **Chain 14, slip st back into the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th chain from hook, (FIRST PAD MADE)
• Chain 3, slip st back along this new chain, into the 2nd, and 3rd chain, THEN slip st back into the SAME stitch as the FIRST PAD (2nd Pad Made),
• Chain 3, slip st back along this new chain, into the 2nd, and 3rd chain THEN slip st back into the SAME stitch as the FIRST PAD (3rd Pad Made),
• continue working in slip stitch Back along the original chain sts (remaining 10 ch sts) , and  SC into the next single crochet stitch of BODY to join the arm to the body.**
• sc into the NEXT 9 sts, and REPEAT  from **to ** for the second arm,  sc into the remaining stitches to finish this round.

NOTE: When working Round 8 , make sure you jump over the arm you made by pushing it to the FRONT of your work to make the sc into the SAME STITCH where you /made/joined the arms.

Round 8: sc into each stitch around (20sts)

Round 9 to Round 16 if using Double knit yarn OR . Rnd 9- Rnd 14 PLUSH YARN: sc into each stitch around (20sts)

(BEFORE stuffing I position the Eyes into place, (in the middle of the 4DCtog sts)  and fasten if using safety eyes)

Stuff lightly until you are happy with the shape you have made 

Making the FIRST LEG. 

Sc into the FIRST 4 sts of the round and working into the 5th st, and Repeat as per ARMS instructions. NOTE CHANGES BELOW

 HOWEVER instead of single crochet into the next stitch of the body to join the ARM, Single crochet through stitches of BOTH sides of BODY, to close and single crochet along the underside of the frog, until you are at the last stitch BEFORE the bottom corner Center Stitch.

Make 1 more LEG, and when finished the Leg FASTEN OFF. Weave in and hide the ends

Taking Black Yarn, starting at the back of your work pull through to the FRONT, jump over a few stitches to make a simple line, and pull through black to the back in the same space,

Tie Ends together and hide ends.
