Amigurumi Frog
If you have never crocheted a stuffed animal before, a frog pattern is a great place to start. The simplistic shapes and the fact that the head and the body are all one blob makes these designs a little bit easier to make than teddy bears and the like. This design is particularly adorable with the adorable blush marks on the cheeks and the bright white patch on the belly.

Frog Blob
Of course, you can start even simpler if you are really nervous about your first attempt at amigurumi. This design boils the essence of frog amigurumi down to two smaller blobs on top of one larger blob. Despite the lack of limbs, this little guy is still bursting with cuteness and charm.

Frog Wall Hanging
Add a dash of froggy charm to any room in your home with this delightful wall hanging. Made with just single crochet stitches, this design is an excellent introduction to crochet colorwork, since there are only 2 colors involved. The little leaf on the head and the blush marks on the cheeks are crocheted separately and added on afterwards.

Frog in a Hat
The only thing cuter than crochet frog patterns for amigurumi are crochet frog patterns for amigurumi that are wearing tiny hats! Choose between a cowboy hat and a mushroom beret to accessorize your new froggy friend. You can sew them in place to keep them from falling off or leave them loose so you can switch between the two.

Frog Amigurumi
This amigurumi frog pattern is designed in the ragdoll style. Rather than working in the round to make 3D shapes like traditional amigurumi, all the pieces for this design are worked flat in back and forth rows. The front and back pieces of the frog are sandwiched together and then crocheted together around the edges to form the froggy shape.

Fred the Amigurumi Frog
This unique design has really managed to nail the funny shape of a frog’s bent legs. This pattern is a nice blend of realism and whimsy that is sure to impress your frog-loving friends. I am especially enamored with the spectacular safety eyes they have managed to procure for this design!

Pocket Pal Frog
Soft velvet yarn is a popular choice for amigurumi projects that are extra snuggly. Many chenille designs use super bulky yarn so they turn out quite large, but this design is a nice manageable size because it calls for an aran weight yarn. My favorite aspect of this design is the adorable little pink bow on top of the one frog’s head.

Flippy the Frog
Flippy the Frog looks like he is ready for a day at the beach with his swim trunks on. For this design, you’ll be using cleverly spaced color changes in the body of the pattern to give the illusion of clothes, rather than making clothes separately that can be added or removed at will.

Frog Hat
Why wear a boring basic beanie when you can wear this frog hat instead? This silly headgear has oversize frog eyes that extend up past the top of the beanie as well as a wide froggy smile. The pattern calls for single, half double, and double crochet stitches.

C2C Frog
Do you like to do corner to corner crochet projects? This cute square can be used to make a wall hanging, a throw pillow, or it could even be used in tandem with other squares to make a blanket. This designer has lots of other animal squares that you can mix and match together, or you could make the blanket out of all different colored frog squares.

Felix the Frog
Felix the Frog is sure looking dapper in his striped shirt complete with buttons and a bow tie.

Wizard Frog
They told this frog that he could be anything so he decided to be a wizard. Like all good wizards, he has a pointy hat and a cloak. He might not be a very big frog, but what he lacks in size he makes up for in magic! You could always make him bigger by selecting a thicker yarn and using the corresponding hook size.

Jelly the Frog
Jelly the frog is a silly little guy with exaggerated proportions. The extra large eyes and the oversize legs conspire together with the sticking out tongue and the faint freckles on the face to make Jelly irresistibly adorable. Since the original design calls for sport weight yarn, it’s really easy to make him a bit bigger by using a DK or worsted weight yarn instead.

Huggy Frog
It’s common to see super bulky weight yarn being used to make supersize crochet amigurumi but it can also be used to make super small designs that fit nicely in the palm of your hand! The thickness of the yarn makes this project fly by and the softness of the yarn adds to its charm.

Smile Frog
Have you been enjoying our little parade of crochet frog patterns for amigurumi? I love how each design is different.

Add a few freckles into the mix (and maybe a bow tie) and you’ve got yourself a recipe for cuteness!

Pride Frog
I am a big fan of crochet frog patterns that can sit up or stand up on their own. The floppy legs of this froggy fellow can easily bend straight out in front of the body which makes sitting an easier task. Of course, the star of the show of this design is the rainbow patch on its belly.
