Usually when a crocheter hears the word "frog" they think of pulling out stitches (rippit, rippit!), and undoing minutes, if not hours of work - not a fun thing! While frogs are usually slimy, (or for yarn-users tragic), today's roundup features a far friendlier bit of frogging - crochet frog patterns! And they're all free!

10 12 Free Crochet Frog Patterns
- Tree Frog by Brigitte Read, on Roman Sock: It's hard to pick a favorite, but if I had to I think this one might be it! It's the perfect blend of realism and cute!

Tamara Kelly says
None of these patterns are mine - I'm afraid I cannot make videos of others' patterns as that would violate copyright. You'll need to contact the designers of these patterns for videos. 🙂
