Introduction to the Leggy Frog Pattern
- This is a Beginner Friendly Pattern.
- The leggy frog is a simple easy crochet pattern to make.
- If you have never worked with amigurumi patterns, then do not worry!
- You should be able to work the basic stitches, working in continuous Rounds, Single Crochet stitches (SC) , slip stitches, (slst), and work 3 Double Crochet stitches TOGETHER (decrease) in one stitch to create the Eyes You will start at the top of the Frog, creating the ‘Bumps’ for his eyes.
- To make the Leggy ARMS and Legs, you will simply chain a length, and slip stitch back into the specified stitches to create the frogs ‘Pads’
- The You do NOT need to know how to make a Magic ring.
- You will chain and work into the first chain from the hook.
Crochet Abbreviations (US Terms)

- 3 dc tog – 3 double crochet together (decrease)
Explanation of 3 dc tog:
Note: To work the 3 dc tog, you’ll partially complete 3 double crochet stitches, in the SAME space leaving the last loop of each on your hook, then yarn over and pull through all loops to finish the decrease.
Materials – What you will need to crochet the Small Leggy Frog
YARN : Green Yarn or choice of color (I have used Double Knit/ light worsted weight to crochet a small leggy frog keyring) and I have used Chunky Yarn to make a small pcket sized plush leggy frog toy)
Crochet Hook SIZE: I have made these using several hook sizes, Example Double knit yarn with a 2.50 mm crochet hook, for a small frog keyring, OR a 4.50 mm crochet hook and fluffy blanket yarn.
Do not slip to join you will work continuously in each round, use a stitch marker to keep track of rounds
To start the Leggy Frog
Chain 10
Rnd 1: Working into the second chain from hook, sc in the next 9 sts, 3 sc into the Last stitch of the chain, turn your work and start working sc into each stitch, by working into the back of the chain back towards the start of the chain.
Rnd 2: In the first stitch of the round work 3dctog all in the same stitch (1st eye bum created), sc into the next 7 stitches, and work 3dctog in the next stitch (2nd eye bump created), sc in each stitch.
(ensure here that your eye bumps are sitting equally apart, I have found if I use a bigger yarn I may need to work in the next stitch to make them even
Rnd 3 to Rnd 6: sc into each stitch around.
If using safety eyes Place these into the double crochet 3 together clusters.
Creating the ARMS / Pads – All of the 3rd chain slip stitches are worked into the SAME space making this the middle of the Frogs Pad!
