A4 PDF: materials, every round with a tick box, assembly and face

A free crochet frog pattern for a squishy mochi ball with two big eye bumps set wide apart on top, a wide smile and pink cheeks. This amigurumi frog is one plump fresh-green ball with tiny darker paws at the front, wider than it is tall, so it sits steady like a little rice cake. It is worked in the round in single crochet with DK yarn and a 2.5 mm hook, ends up about 7 cm (2.75 in) tall with 12 mm safety eyes, and only the eye bumps, paws and cheeks are sewn on. Follow it row by row with stitch counts and turn the interactive 3D model to see where every piece goes.

How to crochet the Frog Mochi Ball

Beginner-friendly · 7 cm tall · about 2 h · DK yarn · 2.5 mm hook

  1. Crochet the 7 pieces in rounds: Mochi ball, Eye bump ×2, Paw ×2, Cheek ×2 (39 rounds in all).
  2. Stuff and put it together in 4 steps; each one lights up where it goes on the 3D model.
  3. Add the face: safety eyes by round and stitch, or embroider them for a child under 3.

Every round with its stitch count is in the Pattern tab below, and in the free printable PDF.

Gauge

1 sc ≈ 4 mm wide, 1 round ≈ 3.6 mm tall (10 cm ≈ 25 sc × 28 rounds); yarn about 1.9 mm thick. The gauge sets the size of the toy; crochet tightly so the stuffing does not show.

Worked in

Continuous spiral rounds. Don't join. Move a stitch marker up every round.

    1. Mochi ball is the base; its magic ring is at the bottom.
    1. Eye bump → mochi ball (make 2). Centre: between rounds 19 and 20, 5.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left (the one on the toy's left is described; sew the other as its mirror image). Sew the piece on by its closed end (last rounds); it touches rounds 17–22 of the mochi ball, about 4 st wide. It points up and outward and slightly forward. Press it into the base by about 5 mm.
    1. Paw → mochi ball (make 2). Centre: between rounds 10 and 11, 6 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left (the one on the toy's left is described; sew the other as its mirror image). Sew the piece on by its closed end (last rounds); it touches rounds 10–12 of the mochi ball, about 3 st wide. It points forward. Press it into the base by about 3 mm.
    1. Cheek → mochi ball (make 2). Centre: in round 14, 8.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left (the one on the toy's left is described; sew the other as its mirror image). Sew it flat all round its edge; it covers rounds 12–16 of the mochi ball, about 4 st wide.

    Safety eyes and noses go in before the piece is stuffed and closed (see the pieces above); embroidery is easier before the piece is sewn on.

    • Safety eye with a printed glint 12 mm (on the eye bump) (2: one on each eye bump; the left one is described, the right is its mirror): in round 4, on the centre front line.
    • Embroidery in dark green thread (on the mochi ball), straight stitches through: (in round 15, 4.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (in round 14, 2.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (between rounds 13 and 14, 1 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right) → (between rounds 13 and 14, 1 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left) → (in round 14, 2.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (in round 15, 4.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ).
