I have embroidered snowflakes before so it wasn’t difficult, but tricky the first time you…

Today’s toy is a crocheted frog. Design by kawaiicuddlebug. Using Bernat blanket, Red Heart, and a 4.5 mm crochet hook, this was simple and quick. I ran out of the yarn color to make the romper. There is a matching hat. The legs and arms were changed. There is no stuffing in them.
