Crochet Frog Hat Pattern

It’s Spring! Bunnies, ducks, puddles, planting seeds, baby birds, blossoming flowers, AND FROGS! If you need a quick and cute crochet project, this frog hat is the one for you! Because it basically only uses one color, it works up fairly fast. Great for the cool spring weather and perfect for a boy or a girl. I would love to see the addition of a tiny crown for a frog prince or a little red tongue 🙂

Materials:
– Worsted weight yarn. I used Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice in Fern green, white, black, and pink poodle (or red) for the cheeks
– Size H Crochet hook
– Tapestry needle
– Two buttons for eyes (other options listed below)

Frog Eye Pattern (back of eye): MAKE 2

Only using green yarn…
Magic Ring, chain 1 and make 8 HDC in ring, join to first HDC, chain 1 (8 HDC)
Round 2: 2 HDC in each stitch around, join, chain 1 (16 HDC)
Round 3: 2 HDC in first stitch, HDC in next, repeat around (24 HDC)

Fasten off leaving long tail to sew front and back of eye together


Frog Eye Pattern (front of eye): MAKE 2

Staring with white yarn…
Magic Ring, chain 1 and make 8 HDC in ring, join to first HDC, chain 1 (8 HDC)
Round 2: 2 HDC in each stitch around, join, chain 1 (16 HDC)
change to green yarn..
Round 3: 2 HDC in first stitch, HDC in next, repeat around (24 HDC)

Fasten off and weave in ends


First, sew button onto front eyes. If you don’t feel comfortable using buttons, you can crochet a small circle (magic ring, chain 1 and make 6 SC in ring, join and pull tight). OR you can start your front eye with black yarn instead of white for the magic ring round. OR you could use a safety eye.
Take your tapestry needle and long tail… sew the two eyes together by weaving your needle under the top of the last crochet stitches made as in this photo:

Now lay your hat flat and sew the eyes onto the crease of the hat right on either side of your first round. The more of the eye that you sew down, the sturdier it will be.

Frog cheeks:
With pink or red yarn…
Magic Ring, chain 1, make 10 HDC inside of ring, join to first HDC, fasten off leaving tail to sew onto hat.

Note: The cheeks and smile are virtually the same as in my gingerbread hat. I have included a video of how to sew on the mouth and cheeks in my Gingerbread Man Hat Pattern Post!

    • How many inches from the top of the hat to the end should it be. I am making the 3-6 months also and it doesn’t seem long enough before starting on the ear flaps? Thanks for your help

  3. Why do you always seem to be copying other peoples work and patterns? I have bought a patterns from a lot of different people in the past, and each time you put up a new pattern, it always seems to be identical to what someone else has already created. Isn't this a copyright issue? And I know you aren't charging for the pattern, but I read that you are getting paid by brand companies, so it isn't like you aren't getting money out of posting these things. It just seems very shady and suspicious to me.

    • Hi Rebecca, I assure you that I have never copied or stolen anyone else's pattern. I try to post projects and patterns that are unique, new and different, but when it comes to animal hats, a lot of them end up looking similar. I use virtually the same pattern for the base of my hats. I came up with my own DC and HDC hat pattern years ago and still use it. So if someone else is using this pattern then I should be looking into contacting them for copyright infringement. The embellishments (like eyes and ears) are also parts that I spend a lot of time writing, crocheting and perfecting so they are easy to follow and look aesthetically pleasing. I have worked full time (50+ hours a week) on my blog for over 2 years. I recently just started generating a small income from it. This money helps to cover craft supply cost and keeps me able to post these patterns and tutorials for free. For a long time I was paying for these supplies with my husbands hard earned money. I truly enjoy crafting and crocheting and would never want to step on any other designers toes. We all work hard on our patterns and I enjoy being a part of the crochet community. I hope this gives you a clearer picture of what is happening! Thanks for following along and let me know if you have any other questions! -Sarah

      • There are only so many ways to make a pattern and so many people have the same ideas. It is like writing a book (there are only seven different plots, by the way)I find your patterns more than helpful and very creative, but I always change something to make it “mine”. I often come up with an idea for something crafty and when I research I find that many others have had the same idea. Why be negative Rebecca??? I would love to see a pattern or idea from you that is totally unique. Meanwhile, Thank you Sarah for lovely patterns, photos and inspiration.

  4. Sarah you are amazing! You are my favorite of all the craft/crocheting that is out there! Thank you for your kindness in sharing all your projects that you make. I have made so many of them. I also want to congratulate you on your weight loss! What an encouragement you are! Your husband and children are blessed to have you!
    Keep up the amazing work, this keeps me busy wanting to make all that you share!

  5. This is super cute! It's as if you were reading my mind because I was looking for a frog hat pattern! My little cousin Madison will be turning 3 next month and having a princess party so I have been working on some princess crowns for her, but I wanted to make a frog prince type hat for her brother. Thank you so much for sharing!!

  7. When I make your hats, and I have made several now, they end up so big. I guess I crochet big, kind of like I talk loud! The last one I made, with the toddler pattern, will look smashing on the boy's father! I'll keep trying, but I think my trick is to just use a smaller hook AND go down a size.
    Keep these incredibly adorable hat patterns coming. I was driving around the other day, wondering what you'll come up with next. A frog, who would have thought. CUTE. (Have you thought of making a Have a Cow hat? You could send one to your detractor.)

  8. Gorgeous hat. Thanks for sharing. Please keep designing new patterns. I love them. For the problem of Jessica it can help if you tell us how many stitches and rowes makes a square of 10 by 10 cm. Then people can see if they must take a smaller or bigger hook or make another size of the pattern.

    Pleasant day, Margaret

  9. Hi! I love all your patterns, thanks for posting! I have a question for you, I prefer doing dc for hats because it works up quicker. Would it work to make any of your hdc patterns with your dc pattern for the actual hat part without altering the way it comes out?

  11. Hi Sarah! As always i loooove your pattern. I was just wondering if you could include the gauge for each hat. Sometimes im not sure if im hitting the nail on the head with sizing. Thank you soo much. keep up the great work. 🙂

  12. Sarah, adorable pattern as always! I've noticed you use a lot of Vanna's Choice yarn on these hats, I was wondering if you've ever run into an issue with it being scratchy? Most of the time I don't have issues with it, but I've gotten a few skeins that just are so rough, I'm starting to wonder if there was a difference because of the color because these skeins were also the same color. Anyway, if you have run into this problem, do you have any way you combat the "scratchiness"? Thanks 🙂

    • Use can stick your skeins in a lingerie bag and then throw them in the wash as Girl From Oz has mentioned 🙂 Ive tried it with the Super Saver – you'd never believe it was the same yarn afterwards!

  13. Cat : An employee in yarn store told me that you can soften any yarn by washing on a delicate cycle with fabric softener. He said even the Super Saver comes out soft. I have not tried it but thought that I would pass it on

  14. Very easy to follow pattern and cute as can be! Used sugar & cream cotton yarn and an H hook and came out the perfect size. I do a lot of crocheting and I hope to see more of your work!

  15. Thank you for including a printer friendly button! This makes it so much easier to get the pattern!!! Love your patterns. I've made the minnie mouse hat and can't wait to make this one!

  18. I am going to make the frog hat in size 0-3 months. I know I will not need much yarn for the white, pink and black, but how many do I need to buy for the green? Will one be sufficient? TY

  19. Hey, thanks for sharing this cute pattern! I just finished making it for my son. The only thing I noticed is missing from this post is the braids coming from the ear flaps. I’m just curious how you attached ten and what braid style you used. Thanks for all your hard work! I think my son will be thrilled!

  20. Thanks for sharing this pattern. It is wonderful that you offer these patterns free of cost.

  26. Love this cute little hat. Where are you joining each round? I don’t care for that crooked seam that goes down the back of hat. It would be nice if it could be avoided.

  28. Crochet Leaf Pattern Crochet leaves are a very popular project and pattern on the Internet. Patterns range from simple to advanced and some people will use different colors and different yarn types to add their own twist to the leaf pattern. The pattern for leaves is usually a simple rectangle. These can then be cut into leaf shapes or people can add a stem and leaf pattern onto toys and blankets. One of the most popular patterns is on the site called DIY Network. This site has a diagram for how to make a leaf pattern. The diagram has a picture of very basic leaves and they use a size H crochet hook and worsted weight yarn. This is the way you can want to who invented lasagna, then click on this website.

  29. I have been able to follow everything up to the point of putting the eyes together and sewing them on the hat. I have a reading comprehension problem and am struggling to understand. Do you by any chance have a video on making this hat?

    Reply

  32. I appreciate your patterns so much and want to thank you. I stream on twitch and I made the frog hat as a redeem for people to spend channel points on. I have to wear it 10 minutes each time they redeem it and it is the most popular redeem I have! I’m working on the turkey one now (on stream), and I put a link to the pattern on my stream so people know to come to you to find the pattern.

    Thank you for your creativity, the work you put into the patterns, and for making them available to those of us who are struggling financially, and for making things that are so darn adorable!

  33. I want to thank you for your great animal hat patterns. I belong to a craft group that makes things for charities. We made many of these hats for a day care for underpriviledged children, and another care center for special needs children. They were very much appreciated.
