Frog Blob Pattern

Hey everyone! Happy free pattern Friday! I have been so excited to share this pattern with you all! A while back I decided I wanted to make a frog plushie, but I didn’t want it to be any regular, normie frog. I wanted this frog… to be a blob. A blob frog, if you will. So I set to work designing the blobbiest frog I could make while still having it at least semi-recognizable as a frog. And I really feel like this pattern embodies that concept. No arms, no legs, just blob. And I love it!

I originally made this plushie with regular yarn, but I think velvet yarn or blanket yarn would really take this plushie to the next level of blob-ness! I will give a warning; if you are looking for green velvet yarn, the Bernat Baby Velvet in “Misty Jungle Green” was very much not green, my fault for ordering online, but yeah, probably don’t use that one for this project if you’re looking to make a green frog haha!

This project is pretty simple, it’s all one piece, with almost no sewing. As always I will try my best to make sure the pictures and tutorial make as much sense as possible, but if you need any extra instructions or if you see a miss-count or anything, please let me know via email (crochet_things@yahoo.com) or via Instagram (@cutiepie_crochet)! So, with that, let’s get started making our blobby new friend!

After you've finished the body, It's time to add the blush and the mouth! I like to add the blush one row below the eyes and a few stitches wide. For the mouth, I just make a "v" shape with the black yarn! Make sure not to pull too tight when embroidering these details or you might get lumps and bulges where you don't want them!

And with that, you are all done with your blobby, froggy friend! I really hope you liked this short pattern! If you end up making this pattern, I would love to see it, so please tag me on Instagram @cutiepie_crochet!

That's all for this pattern, and I'll see you here again for another free pattern soon! If you like this pattern please help the blog out by sharing it! <3
