CROCHET INFO:
MAGIC CIRCLE:
When piece is worked in the round, start with this technique to avoid holes in the middle (instead of ch-ring): Hold the yarn end and wind the yarn one time around the index finger to make a loop. Hold the loop with left thumb and middle finger, place the yarn over left index finger. Insert hook through the loop, make a YO and pull yarn through loop, ch 1, then work sc's around the loop. When the desired no of sc have been reached, pull the yarn end to tighten the loop. Fasten the yarn end on the back side. Continue to work in the round in a circle.
WORK IN THE ROUND IN A CIRCLE:
After last sc on the round, continue to next round with 1 sc in next sc (= the first sc from previous round). NOTE: Insert a marker at the beg of round between last sc and first sc on the round, move the marker upwards.
WORKING 2 SC TOG:
* Insert hook in next st, get yarn *, repeat from *-* one more time, make a YO and pull yarn through all 3 sts on hook.
COLOR CHANGE - SC:
To get a nice color change work last sc on round as follows: Insert hook in last st, get yarn, make a YO with the new color and pull it through all sts on hook. Continue on to next round with the new color.

Tere! Proovin siin heegeldada beebi mänguloomi. Tekkis küsimus, et kas täidetavate mänguasjade puhul on tõesti vatt ikka parim täitematerjal. Siis ei saa ju mängulooma pesta, vatt läheb n-ö klompi. Kas oskate soovitada ka mõnda muud täitematerjali?

06.04.2022 - 18:02Hallo! Is er ergens een uitleg te vinden over: - waarom je 30cm draad moet overhouden en wat je daarmee moet doen? - hoe haak of naai je de ogen en benen aan de kikker? Dank!

Dag Ine,
Aan het eind bij de beschrijving staat dat je de ogen op de bovenkant van de kop naait. Hiervoor gebruik je het draadeinde van 30 cm. Je kunt de ogen met bijvoorbeeld stiksteken aan de kop naaien. Zie ook deze video
04.04.2022 - 11:57I was wondering if anyone had sent you any pictures of the frog in different colors. I'm making this for a girl and I'm thinkin pinks and whites.

Dear Lara, on Ravelry, you can see a number of different frogs, admittedly, most of them are green, and none pink, but there are some other colors, that can give you some ideas. Happy Crafting!
05.05.2021 - 23:07Me ha encantado este patrón. La ranita me ha quedado genial. ¡Muchas gracias!
02.04.2021 - 16:45This little frog is the perfect size for a toddler or baby. Supper easy to crochet and assemble. I used dk cotton yarn and enclosed fine poly stuffing in simple cotton fabric bags in case the baby mouths it. Recommend the pattern highly for a beginner!
05.08.2020 - 14:44Je vous remercie pour ce tuto crochet gratuit qui est un magnifique modèle. Je suis vraiment ravi.
16.12.2018 - 00:02Für eine Bekannte, die Fußballfan von BVB Dortmund ist, habe ich Frankie in gelb und schwarz (drops Paris) nachgearbeitet. Dank der guten Anleitung ist er wirklich gut geworden. Ich würde Ihnen sehr gerne ein Foto schicken. An welche Email Adresse kann ich das Foto schicken? Ich habe kein Facebook, Instagram oder Twitter.
17.10.2018 - 21:38Je suis débutante en crochet et j'ai trouvé les explications très claires d'autant plus que j'ai vu après réalisation que c'était un modèle pour intermédiaire. Egalement, je trouve votre site est très bien fait.
19.12.2016 - 18:56Hei, de magiske sirklene mine lager alltid små tupper, slik at hodet og rumpen ble litt spiss. Det ser dessverre litt dumt ut, synes jeg. Har dere et tips hvordan jeg kan unngå dette? Jeg har prøvd å trekke dem mindre stramme, men det hjalp bare litt.

Hej Anne-Marie, Har du set vor video med magisk cirkel? Ellers kan du sikkert justere det når du hæfter tråden. God fornøjelse!
08.04.2016 - 09:10Ihr habt recht! Die Naht sieht nicht schön aus! Ich habe es so gemacht wie angegeben, besser geht's nun mal in Runden nicht. Er ist toll geworden!
