Hey everyone! Happy free pattern Friday! I have been so excited to share this pattern with you all! A while back I decided I wanted to make a frog plushie, but I didn’t want it to be any regular, normie frog. I wanted this frog… to be a blob. A blob frog, if you will. So I set to work designing the blobbiest frog I could make while still having it at least semi-recognizable as a frog. And I really feel like this pattern embodies that concept. No arms, no legs, just blob. And I love it!
I originally made this plushie with regular yarn, but I think velvet yarn or blanket yarn would really take this plushie to the next level of blob-ness! I will give a warning; if you are looking for green velvet yarn, the Bernat Baby Velvet in “Misty Jungle Green” was very much not green, my fault for ordering online, but yeah, probably don’t use that one for this project if you’re looking to make a green frog haha!
So, with that, let’s get started making our blobby new friend!
If you're looking for the mushroom in the picture, the pattern is here: https://www.cutiepiecrochet.com/post/mushroom-trio-pattern and it's the small mushroom <3

Final Touches:
After you've finished the body, It's time to add the blush and the mouth! I like to add the blush one row below the eyes and a few stitches wide. For the mouth, I just make a "v" shape with the black yarn! Make sure not to pull too tight when embroidering these details or you might get lumps and bulges where you don't want them!
And with that, you are all done with your blobby, froggy friend! I really hope you liked this short pattern! If you end up making this pattern, I would love to see it, so please tag me on Instagram @cutiepie_crochet!
