Introduction

Crocheting is a popular hobby that allows you to create unique and adorable stuffed animals and toys. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of making a crochet chubby frog amigurumi. This cute little frog is perfect for both beginners and experienced crocheters. With our step-by-step instructions, you'll be able to create your own chubby frog in no time.

Materials Needed

Before we begin, let's gather all the materials needed for this project. You will need:

• 5 millimeter crochet hook
• Vanna's Choice yarn in the color Pistachio and Crisp White
• Fiberfill stuffing
• Yarn needle
• Scissors
• 9 millimeter eyes with washers

Starting with the Body

To start making the body of the crochet frog amigurumi, create a slip knot and then choose to either do a chain loop circle or a magic circle. For the chain loop circle, chain two and make six single crochets in the first chain. Pull the tail to close the circle.

Increasing Rows for the Body

After creating the initial circle, it's time to increase the number of stitches in each row. This will give the body its round shape. Make two single crochets in each stitch all around. Continue repeating this pattern for the desired number of rows.

Building up the Base of the Body

Once you have completed the increasing rows, you will move on to a row of an increase and one single crochet. This pattern continues to build up the base of the body. Repeat the increase and one single crochet pattern all around.

Decreasing Rows for the Body

After building up the base of the body, it's time to decrease the number of stitches in each row to create a tapered shape. To do this, work a decrease stitch, skip a stitch, and then work six single crochets. Repeat this pattern all around.

Stuffing and Finishing the Body

After completing the decreasing rows, it's time to stuff the body with fiberfill. Stuff it firmly to give the chubby frog a plush feel. Once stuffed, fasten off the yarn and close the opening using a yarn needle and ladder stitch.

Creating the Belly

To create the belly of the frog, start with a slip knot and make a circle with six single crochets on the inside. Increase the number of stitches all around and continue adding an increase and one single crochet pattern. Finish off by making a slip stitch.

Making the Green Eye

For the green part of the eye, start with a slip knot and make a circle with six single crochets. Increase the number of stitches all around and then continue with three rows of single crochet to create a dome shape. Finish off with a slip stitch.

Crafting the White Eye

To make the white portion of the eye, start with a slip knot and make a circle with six single crochets. Increase the stitches four times to create a round shape. Finish off with a slip stitch.

Assembling the Parts

Now that all the parts are complete, it's time to assemble the chubby frog amigurumi. Attach the eyes securely, sew on the belly, and make sure everything is positioned correctly. Use the yarn needle and yarn tail to sew the parts together.
