Depending on the length of the strap, you want to adjust the amount of rows as needed. Fasten off and leave a tail for sewing.

Cheeks:

Round 1: With pink yarn, make an MR and sc x6 in the circle. If you find it difficult to make a magic ring, you can chain 2 and then crochet sc x6 in the second chain from the hook. (6) Slip stitch to the first sc and fasten off. Leave a tail for sewing.

Sewing:

Place safety eyes in the bottom of the shell stitches.

Embroider a mouth in between the eyes using black yarn and a tapestry needle.

Sew on the cheeks using a tapestry needle, position them below the eyes, and slightly left/right of them.

Sew/crochet the middle piece to the circle and frog. I chose to crochet the edge as it creates a crispy edge, but you can sew it too. I attached the crochet middle right under the frog eyes and worked my way around the frog body. Once the middle was attached to both sides of the frog, I rechecked the length of the purse strap and sewed it to the other side of the bag, again attach to the middle part right below the eyes.

And now you should have a beautiful crochet frog bag, perfect for holding phones and other small items!

• Gauge Matters: Always check your gauge before starting the project. This ensures your frog purse will be the correct size.

• Customizations: Add embellishments like buttons or felt shapes to give your frog personality! Consider using safety eyes in different colors for a playful twist.
