What you need to know

Quick-to-knit stashbuster frog toy knitting pattern, designed by Sachiyo Ishii in DK yarn.

Our little pal from the pond certainly scrubs up well, dressed in his smart dungarees, neck scarf and boots. It’s all in the details with this cute croaker by Sachiyo Ishii; the tiny decorative buttons, individually worked fingers and merry rosy cheeks all add a whole lot of character. The legs, body and head are all worked in one piece and it’s up to you what kind of eyes you want to use.

Top knit tips

Embroidery the eyes with black yarn if you don't wish to use safety eyes.

Our frog's fingers may appear a little tricky, but if you follow the instructions exactly as written all should be fine. Just be sure to secure the yarn carefully each time you finish one finger and start the next – otherwise things may unravel!
