No-Sew Frog Crochet Pattern: A Mini Sitting Frog You Make in One Piece
Meet the LoopSouk no-sew mini sitting frog: one piece, bobble legs worked in, a cream belly by yarn change, and an optional keychain loop. 8–9 cm, DK yarn, 3.5 mm hook.
Save to Pinterest
If attaching tiny legs is the part of amigurumi you put off, this little frog is for you. The LoopSouk No-Sew Mini Sitting Frog is worked base-to-head as a single shape, and all four legs are bobbles worked right into the pattern, never sewn on.
Two chunky haunches, two small front legs, a cream belly that is a simple yarn change rather than a patch, plus two safety eyes and one small embroidered smile. That's the whole frog. Keep him as a sitting plush, or chain the optional loop and turn him into a keychain or bag charm.

How the no-sew construction works
Base, body and head are one piece. The four bobble legs are worked into Rounds 6 and 11, the cream belly band happens in Rounds 7–9 with a yarn change, and the keychain loop is chained straight off the final round. That means no pinning, no lopsided limbs and no tail ends from six separate parts.
Four colourways, one set of counts
The pattern includes four colourways with the same stitch counts throughout: green (the hero frog), mint, sunny yellow and pastel pink. Make one of each and you have a little pond-side family.

Care tips for your finished make
- Spot clean first. For small amigurumi, a damp cloth and a drop of mild soap is usually all you need. Dab, don't scrub.
- Hand wash if needed. Use cool water, squeeze gently (no wringing), roll in a towel and let it air dry in shape, away from radiators and strong sun.
- Fluff it back up. Once dry, give it a gentle squeeze and reshape so the stuffing settles evenly.
- Always check your yarn label: the fibre you choose decides how it can be washed.
