October 29: frog
Today’s toy is a crocheted frog. Design by Heidi Bears. Using Big twist, Caron simply soft, and a 3 mm hook, this is one of the African flower hexagon animals that Heidi bears is famous for. I want to make all of her patterns. The colors of the frog are for the Dallas Cowboys football team because I am giving it to my mother-in-law. I did a long tail chain for the toes. The pattern calls for I-cord. Using a canvas tote bag, I stuffed it before inserting into the body so stuffing would not come out. Many people recommend stockings or some kind of stretchy knit fabric.
