Notes

• This pattern is written using UK crochet terminology.
• This pattern is worked using the amigurumi method. Work stitches continuously in a spiral without closing off each round with a slip stitch. You may find it easier to mark the first stitch of the round, moving the marker up as you work.
• Rounded brackets ( ) indicate the pattern and the number of times it is repeated. For example, (Dc in next sts, 2dc in next st) 6 times. This means double crochet one stitch, increase by double crocheting in the next stitch twice. This instruction should be repeated 6 times.
• Square brackets [ ] indicate the number of stitches you have after each round/row.

Decreasing rounds: You may prefer to use an invisible decrease, this technique will give your finished creation a neater appearance.

• To do this insert your hook into the front loop of the first stitch, then insert your hook into the front loop of the second stitch.
• Yarn over hook and pull through the first 2 loops on your hook.
• Yarn over hook and pull through the remaining 2 loops on your hook to complete the stitch.

How to assemble Albie the Frog

• Pictures are provided as a guide to help you.
• The body is worked from toe to head, rounds are counted from top to bottom when placing eyes and arms.
• Attach the safety eyes and stuff the eyes before stitching them to the body.
• Stitch eyes to the body, leaving enough room to sew the hat onto the top of the head.

• Do not stuff the arms, fold them so they are flat and stitch between rounds 23/24 of the body.
• Stuff the hat and stitch the brim to the base of the hat. Stitch the hat to the top of Albie’s head.
• Use contrasting yarn to stitch a small mouth to finish your frog.
