An advanced beginner level pattern for a chibi frog plushie holding a Valentine’s Day heart. The stitches used in this pattern are very standard for amigurumi work, but there are quite a few pieces to attach and the heart assembly is a bit intermediate. However, I think this is a perfect pattern to take your crochet skills to the next level! The pattern also uses hot glue to make assembly a little easier, however, I would advise against this if you are making the pattern for a small child.

The finished amigurumi is approximately 4.5 inches tall x 5.5 inches wide x 4 inches deep.

Materials needed:

• Worsted weight acrylic yarn (green, white, and pink). I used Caron Simply Soft in Sage (75 yards), Off-white (7 yards), and Watermelon (12 yards).
• Crochet thread or embroidery thread. I used Aunt Lydia’s Size 10 Crochet Thread in Black (1 yard)
• Size G crochet hook, 4.00mm
• 12mm black safety eyes
• Yarn or Tapestry needle
• Embroidery needle
• Scissors
• Polyfil stuffing
• Hot glue gun
