Chonky Frog - stress reliving frog orb with optional cowboy hat and top hat.
Filled with rice, these froggy boys make amazing stress balls - great for anxiety!

2 sizes - big chonker and mini chonker. When crocheted with DK yarn and a 3mm hook the big chonker is approx 8cm by 8cm and the mini chonker is approx 6cm by 6cm. Feel free to experiment and use chunkier yarn and a bigger hook to make them even bigger!

Gauge doesn’t matter but stitches need to be tight enough for rice/stuffing to stay in. If you are a loose crocheter I recommend putting the rice into a small cloth bag before stuffing the frog.

The chonksters are crocheted in the round, (starting at the head) and the legs and arms are worked as you go - no sewing required, it’s all one piece.

You’ll need safety eyes (of your size choice) or black yarn and a needle to create eyes for your frog friend.
