Frog applique crochet pattern

 

This crochet Frog applique pattern is my next heart-shaped design. The body of this frog is made in the shape of a heart!  The Frog (as well as Lucky Clover) is a good luck symbol in many cultures. Also, in some cultures, the Frog is a symbol of life, fertility, re-birth and transformation.

 “Eat a live frog first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day.” Mark Twain

 

My husband made a small water fountain in our front yard, and purchased a small ceramic frog that sits in it. We are always surprised at how many of our guests notice this small frog when they come to visit us.

Frogs are very popular among little kids. Frogs are fun to watch and listen to, also learning about frogs is educational too! If your kids love frogs, this cute heart-shaped Frog applique will be perfect for any kid’s embellishment!

I made my crochet Frog with sport weight yarn. You can experiment with different yarn weights to make your appliques in different sizes.

 

Frogs are popular creatures to crochet. You can find a lot of crochet Frog ideas on Etsy, some of my favorites can be found HERE.
