Making The Crochet Frog Pattern

Materials:

Yarn: You will need two colours; green for the body and yellow for the belly. The exact type (cotton, acrylic, etc.) and weight (such as worsted, DK, etc.) of yarn will depend on your preference or the specific recommendations of the pattern if provided.
Crochet Hook: The size of the crochet hook should be appropriate for the yarn selected. A common size for amigurumi projects is 3.5 mm (E) to 4 mm (G).
Stuffing: Polyester fiberfill is commonly used to stuff amigurumi figures.
Stitch Marker: Useful for marking the beginning of a round, especially since amigurumi is often worked in continuous rounds.
Yarn Needle: A large-eyed blunt needle for weaving in ends and sewing parts together.
Scissors: For cutting yarn.
Eyes: This could be safety eyes, beads, or felt/black embroidery for making the eyes. Glue may be required if choosing to attach felt eyes.
Black thread or embroidery floss: For embroidering the mouth.
