Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.

Part 2: Assembling the Frog

Stuff the frog body firmly with fiberfill. Using the tail, sew the opening closed tightly. If using safety eyes, carefully attach them to the front of the frog. If embroidering, use two small black stitches for the pupils, and then embroider around them to create the white of the eyes.

Part 3: Adding Details

For the nose, sew on a small button or bead. You can also embroider a mouth with a simple line of stitches. For the frog’s legs and arms, you can add small crocheted pieces or use felt cutouts. Be creative and have fun with it!

Part 4: Attaching the Zipper Pouch

This is where the magic happens! Carefully insert your phone-sized zipper pouch inside the stuffed frog body. Ensure the zipper is accessible. You can sew the opening of the pouch closed to the frog's body for extra security, or leave it as is for easier access to your phone.

Tips and Variations:
Use different yarn weights and hook sizes to adjust the size of your frog.
Experiment with different color combinations for a unique look.
Add embellishments like beads, sequins, or embroidery for extra flair.
Create different expressions for your frog by altering the placement of the eyes and mouth.
Consider adding a small crocheted lily pad for your frog to rest on.
