DO NOT CUT YARN.

Eyes- Make Two

Using Light Green Yarn, working in continuous rounds.

Create a Magic Circle

Round 1: SC 6

Round 2: INC in each st around (12 SC)

Rounds 3-5: SC in each st around (12 SC)

Sew in your first tail, and flip your eye right side out and tie off. Leave a tail long enough to sew your eye to your frog.

Assembly

If you need help refer to the video that goes with this pattern.

Set your front piece and bottom-top piece up so that the right sides are touching and your front piece is on top.

Lining up your top four stitches of each piece.

Using the yarn still attached to your top back piece, insert your hook through the 1st single crochet st of the front piece, going through the same stitch on the top back piece. Create a Chain 1 to attach the pieces together.

SC 2 stitches together in the first SC space where you just joined.

SC in the next 2 spaces.

SC two stitches together in the 4th stitch on the top of your work.

Now we will be working downward along the left-hand side of our frog. SC 2 stitches, being sure to go through the front piece and the top-back piece at the same time.

Since we are working on the raw side of our work, you’ll have to make your own spots for your hook to go.

Now we are going to attach the first eye.

Insert your first eye so that it’s sandwiched between the front and back pieces and the right side is touching the front piece of your work.

SC 4, this time going through the front piece, two stitches of the eye, and the back-top piece.

SC the next 4 stitches going through all 3 pieces of your Crafty Frog Pocket.

SC 3 more stitches going through the front and the top-back piece only. Grab your bottom-back piece.

The next 4 stitches will go through your front, back-top, and back-bottom pieces.

Line your 3 pieces together so the back-top piece is sandwiched between your other two pieces.

SC 3 stitches.

SC 4 sts, going through all 3 pieces.

SC 1 going through the front piece and the bottom-back piece only.

Still going through the front and bottom-back pieces only,

SC 6. Now you are at the bottom of your crafty frog pocket. SC INC into the first stitch (on the corner), SC across 8 sts. SC INC in the last stitch.

Now we are going to go back up the other side. This is just like the first side but in the reverse order.

SC 7.

Going through all 3 pieces of your frog, SC 4.

Going through just the front piece and the top-back piece, SC 3.

Now insert your second eye. SC 4, this time going through the front piece, two stitches of the eye, and the back-top piece.

SC last 2 stitches. Join into the top of the first SC. Tie off. Sew in all your tails.

Flip your crochet frog gift pocket right side out.

Eye and Mouth Detailing:

I like to use puff paint. I have a full video tutorial here showing how.

It includes instructions for how to get my free puff paint eyes practice template too!

Once your eye and mouth detailing dry, you’re all finished! Now you have a super cute Crafty Frog Gift Pocket.
