Patrick the Frog Crochet Pattern
Crochet this very cute frog with this free frog Amigurumi pattern. This easy crochet pattern is very suitable for beginners. Patrick the Frog is a large Amigurumi, made from sport weight cotton yarn and a 2.5 mm he will be 14 cm / 6 inch in height. But if you make if from thicker yarn he will turn out much larger!
This pattern was originally released in the book Amigurumi Made Easy, but is now also available on my blog for free. My book Amigurumi Made Easy is available on Amazon and in many bookstores.
Every morning Patrick hops down to the pond and dives right in. Patrick loves the feeling of the cool water on his skin, and he would swim and splash and dive for hours. If you were thinking of challenging Patrick to a swimming race, you might want to think again. Patrick is a former Olympian and he is still very hard to beat.
