Ribbet, ribbet! Meet Ribbert the Frog! He’s sleepy, fuzzy, and he will jump right into your child’s embrace! This easy lovey crochet pattern is great for anyone who is new to, or wants to learn, amigurumi. Make him as a gift or as a toy for your own baby or toddler.

The pattern includes detailed sewing instructions (with pictures) for assembling the lovey, one picture tutorial for the crochet stitch for the blanket body, and five picture-illustrated tutorials for those who are new to crocheting amigurumi.
