Step-by-Step Crochet Pattern

1. The Body

Foundation Chain:

Start with a slip knot and chain 35 (or adjust the chain length to match your book's height).

Row 1:

Chain 2 extras.

Work 1 half double crochet (hdc) into the 3rd chain from your hook.

Work 1 hdc in each stitch across the row.

Row 2 & 3:

Chain 2, turn your work.

Start with 1 hdc in the same stitch.

Work 1 hdc in each stitch across both rows.

Frog’s Legs and Feet

First Leg:

Chain 5, then chain 4 more.

Work 1 single crochet (sc) in the second chain from the hook, and make 1 sc in the next 3 stitches.

Chain 4, then slip stitch into the same stitch (this forms a toe).

Repeat this toe-making process two more times for a total of 3 toes.

Work 1 hdc next to the last toe to close the foot.

Work 1 hdc in the next 4 stitches along the foundation chain.

Second Leg:

After creating the first leg, slip stitch into the next 2 stitches in the center of the body.

Repeat the process for legs and feet:

Chain 5 + 4 and follow the same steps as above to form the leg and toes.

Chain 1, pull up the yarn, and cut it.

Weave in the yarn tails.

Work on the Other Side

Flip the body to the opposite side and repeat the leg and feet steps:

Chain 5 + 4, make the toes and the leg as before.

Finish with weaving in the tails.

2. The Head

Round 1:

Create a magic ring.

Chain 1 and work 6 single crochets (sc) into the ring.

Pull the ring closed and slip stitch into the first sc.

Round 2:

Work 2 sc in each stitch around for a total of 12 stitches.

Round 3:

Alternate: 1 sc, 2 sc in the next stitch, around for a total of 18 stitches.

Rounds 4 to 6:

Work 1 sc in each stitch for all 3 rounds (18 stitches per round).

Round 7:

Alternate: 1 sc, then 1 decrease, all the way around (12 stitches total).

Begin stuffing the head with polyfill.

Round 8:

Work only decreases (6 stitches total).

Pull up the yarn, leave a long tail, and cut it.

Sew the ends to close the head.

3. The Eyes

Round 1:

Create a magic ring using white yarn and chain 1.

Work 6 half double crochets (hdc) into the ring.

Slip stitch into the first hdc, then pull the yarn loop up and cut it.

Weave in the tails.

Round 2:

Using the white yarn, make a standing single crochet (sc) into any stitch from Round 1.

Work 2 sc in each stitch around (12 stitches total).

Slip stitch into the first sc.

Round 3:

Chain 1, then work 1 sc in each stitch around (12 stitches total).

Slip stitch into the first sc.

Rounds 4 & 5:

For each round:

Chain 1 and make 1 sc in each stitch (12 stitches per round).

Next Steps:

Place the safety eye in the center of the white eye piece where you’d like.

Stuff the eyeball lightly with polyfill.

Round 6:

Work 6 decreases, closing the eye shape.

Pull the yarn up, leaving a long tail for sewing, and cut it.

Repeat for the Second Eye:

Make a second white eye using the same steps, but place the safety eye crooked or angled for a fun, whimsical look.

Joining the Pieces

Attaching the Head to the Body:

Sew the bottom of the head to the top edge of the body using the long tail left earlier.

Make sure the attachment is secure.

Attaching the Eyes to the Head:

Sew each eye onto the top of the frog’s head, leaving a small gap between the two for a cute appearance.

Final Steps (Optional)

If desired, block the bookmark:

Stretch the body on a foam board and lightly spritz it with water. Allow it to dry to keep the body flat.
