What you need to know
Quick-to-knit stashbuster frog toy knitting pattern, designed by Sachiyo Ishii in DK yarn.
Our little pal from the pond certainly scrubs up well, dressed in his smart dungarees, neck scarf and boots. It’s all in the details with this cute croaker by Sachiyo Ishii; the tiny decorative buttons, individually worked fingers and merry rosy cheeks all add a whole lot of character. The legs, body and head are all worked in one piece and it’s up to you what kind of eyes you want to use.
