Learn to crochet the most adorable duo: a happy frog and its cheerful friend. Artist Tw***ie Chan will show you how to make a toy with an optional wire structure so that you can pose your frogs for perfect photos on your adventures or have them seated on your bookshelf, little legs dangling. You'll learn single crochet, half double crochet, and double crochet stitches, and you'll be working in rows instead of in rounds, which makes crocheting limbs a bit easier and also gives you better access to add the wire structure. To accessorize your new best friends, Tw***ie will also show you how to crochet a sweet little wildflower so that your frogs and friends will always feel at home.

Use your library card to log in and get all the materials and instructions for free! https://www.creativebug.com/r/crcpl/classseries/single/crochet-frog-and-friends
