#lockdownamichallenge - No 1 - Frog
Yarn
Aldi So Crafty Knit & Purl Amigurumi Yarn - described on the box as "Light" - Equivalent to DK.
30g approx Bright Green (MC)

15 g approx Lime Green (CC1)
Small amount White (CC2) for Eye Balls
Small amount Black (CC3) for Pupils and facial features
Small amount Orange/Red (CC4) for Bow Tie
100% Cotton. 25g = 57.5m
A cotton yarn works well for Ami as it gives good stitch definition and creates a firm structure so
body parts hold their shape well. Any cotton/cotton mix DK should give similar results.

Hook
3 mm
Other Supplies
Yarn needle, toy stuffing, stitch marker/waste yarn.
Tension
Tension is not critical for this project but stitches should be tight enough to avoid stuffing
showing through.
Size
24 cm approx from top of eyes to bottom of feet.
Pattern Notes
Unless otherwise specified this pattern is worked in the amigurumi style, in a continuous spiral
without slip stitching or turning chains.
Use a stitch marker or waste yarn to keep track of the first stitch of each round.
If you do not want to make a Magic Ring you can start each piece by making a chain of 2 and
then work the first round into the second chain from the hook.
If you would like to start with a Magic Ring but don’t know how, you can find a Photo Tutorial at:
https://mycrochetchums.weebly.com/magic-ring-photo-tutorial.html
The Frog is made of multiple separate pieces sewn together. Unless otherwise stated, finish
each piece by pulling the yarn through the last loop and leave a long tail for sewing. Any loose
tails at the end can be easily woven in.
Starting chains do not count in the total stitch count.
Change colour on the last yrh on last stitch of previous round.
Increasing and decreasing
The “invisible” techniques below are recommended to give your amigurumi a neat finish:
Invisible Increase: Work 1 dc in FLO of next st and 1 dc in both loops of same st.
Invisible decrease: Insert hook in FLO of the two stitches to be decreased, yrh, pull through
both front loops, yrh, draw through two loops on hook.

About mycrochetchums
I started mycrochetchums at the end of 2020 to give me something to focus on during

lockdown and to make creative use of a box of Aldi Amigurumi Yarn that was an impulse
purchase I was feeling guilty about!
I’m loving creating these cute characters and sharpening my tech skills in the process as I
wrangle with managing a website and social media.
Check out the mycrochetchums Facebook page - drop me a message there if you have any
feedback about the pattern or would like to share a picture of the end result.
You can also find me on Instagram @mycrochetchums.
Happy Crocheting!
