Assembly / Finishing

1. Attach eyes: If you haven't already, insert safety eyes into the frog's head between rounds 7 and 8, approximately 6 stitches apart.
2. Stuff: Continue stuffing the frog firmly as you crochet, especially in the final rounds.
3. Close openings: After completing the body, use your yarn needle to weave the tail through the remaining 6 stitches and pull tight to close the hole. Weave in any remaining ends.
4. Attach Lily Pad Flower: Position the light pink flower in the center of the dark green lily pad. Using the long tail from the flower, sew it securely to the lily pad.
5. Attach Frog to Lily Pad: Position the frog on the lily pad as desired. Use the long tail from the lily pad to sew the frog's bottom securely to the lily pad.

Tips

• Use a stitch marker to keep track of your rounds, especially when working in a spiral.
• Crochet tightly to prevent stuffing from showing through your stitches.
• Practice the magic ring and invisible decrease if you are new to amigurumi.
• Always crochet a gauge swatch to ensure your finished item matches the pattern's intended size and yarn usage.
