Cute BUT IM DUMB OR THIS VID IS FOR PROS I DONT GET IT STUPID MEEEE im sorry i dont get it its VERY hard to make it but i like your results, mine are 😢😢😢 a 💩
i love ur vids im started the frog today!!
Are you dumb you can slow the video down😅
Thanks to you this is my first amigurumi!! It took me 3 hours because my kids were keeping me busy. BUT I DID IT!!! I'm the person who made 1 Afghan for 15 years, and STILL never finished!!! Thanks for this! I will remember this forever! Oh, I only had brown and black, so mine became a brown teddy bear head with black ears. LOL
I LOVE this! This comment made me so happy! Thank you so much for using my tutorial!!!! And I loveeee how you were able to use this tutorial as a way to make a brown teddy bear head!!!
I actually love this comment. It gave me the idea to use this as a base for other animals as well. I want to crochet my friends/family little plushies, so if I can nail this pattern down I don't see why I wouldn't be able to get a bit creative and see what else I can make from this pattern! THANK YOU
THANKBU FOR THE TUTURIAL!!!
You have an amazing Imaginenation. I would have never thought of the way you did it.
Can you do a beginner one bc Im still learning how to make aragami animals also if you don't mind can you do it slower please
The first time I tried making Amigurumi I wasn’t really understanding it like AT ALL & it was frustrating me. Then I found this video and it helped me so much. I appreciate her talking thru it for each and every row and each stitch. I’m so proud of my first frog plushie
Finally someone who actually explains amazingly and actually shows what they are doing at the same time 👏
THANK YOU
Please keep making videos❣️
Agree!! Great teaching skills!
I think this is the best and easiest tutorial I have found for making a plushie. I just might get up the courage to make one after watching this!
Awww that really means a lot!! I really do hope it helps you in making your first plushie and I hope you do make one :)
@@themaryjay i made one it was sooooo cute this was also my first project and i’m so happy how it turned out! thanks so much for this amazing tutorial! 😄
@@themaryjay Can you use thin yarn instead of thick yarn because I don't have those and I really need to make this for somebody ❤️ please respond ❤❤
I just started crocheting a few days ago trying to find a perfect video to do and you were the first person that i understood and am so happy with my lil frog
yeah same😊
My one is so cute and big 😊
I'm in my early 50's been crotcheing siii was 10, it's not my first amigurumi but, this is the first to be explained in depth, thank you
I started watching this video and I was not nervous because your video was so thorough and easy to understand! I could not wait to try my first crochet plush! My little frog turned out perfect!
This is my very first thing I crocheted and honestly I’m so happy with the result. This tutorial was amazing, and especially beginner friendly :) Thank you for this video!!
I just finished this! My froggie is so cute and I named her Francis 🐸🐸💕💕
You are doing such a great job. So easy for a newbie to follow. I have been crocheting for 50 years just turned 79 and you are so clear in what you are doing. Anyone that wants to make this little frog should be able to. Keep up the good work and thank you for not playing music in the background. God Bless you
I am so thankful that you made this video. I’ve been watching other vids for the last 2 weeks and they were so confusing. Taking your time showing and explaining every little step and showing the pattern description really helped me to understand the crochet language. Thank you soo much!!
I'm really really glad that this video was helpful and it also helped you with better understanding the crochet language!! Thank you so much for following along with my tutorial and for also taking the time to leave this kind comment! It means alot!
You are a awesome teacher haven’t made it but you go from step-by-step slowly perfect thank you so much for the time
Thank you so much I'm 12years old and this tutorial was so amazing my frog turned out great
This is my first ever crochet animal I have ever done and you are such a good teacher I subbed thank you so much!!!!!!!!❤❤❤
Thank you so much for subscribing!!! I'm so glad you liked my tutorial and got to make your first crochet animal :)
Thank you for the tutorial! I've been putting off learning how to make an amigurumi but this was a really nice and easy pattern to follow. Made a good last minute gift for my family. :)
Patricia is so cute!!!!!!
She was so easy to make! Seriously this video was PERFECT for my first stuffed creation!
I’m gonna start crying if I don’t figure this out in the next hour. Some please explain, I don’t have a v shape.
So what I did that’s gotten me pretty far is first, practice chaining and the single crochet with thinner thread so it’s easier to understand the process. The second thing I did was put stitch markers into every stitch at the beginning so I don’t lose the v-shape in the fluffy and thick yarn
Ik im a month late to this comment but I hope this helps!
i LOVE how you teach beginners like me how to crochet stuff like this and now im super happy of how this turned out i will DEFENETLY follow more of your tutorials
I made this fro my friend for her birthday ANDI think she will really like it. The frog turned out amazing thank you
This was so fun to make! I’ve been crocheting since January (after knitting for years) and had been putting off making amigurumi because it seemed complicated. But you broke this down and explained it so clearly.
Thank you so much!! This was my first ever crochet project so it looks a little wonky but my froggie is still very cute!! Making this took less than a day and I was not expecting to finish it so fast! This is by far the best tutorial I have watched!
My first crochet project 🎉 Subscribed immediately. This tutorial was super easy to follow. Thank you ✨🫶🏽
Thank you for this very detailed tutorial! I’ve now made my first ever plush! Mine is a bit wonky but not bad for a first attempt! I appreciated the thorough steps, and the repetition of what you were doing, and counting as you went. Definitely will follow for more of your tutorials.
Thx for the explanation cause this was my 2nd actual anomal project ( I already made other crochet stuff like blankets) so it only took me like an hour to figure out this style of crochet and ur vid was the first I actually sat through and followed step by step and I actually made something cute ❤
I used the beginning of this video to learn how to make a magic circle 😊this really helped
So, I’m decently new to crochet and followe this tutorial best I could but I think I messed up somewhere in it cuz my stitch counts stopped lining up with yours but I decide 🤷🏼♀ let’s see where this takes me, and so now I am here, not with a cute lil white frog but what I now call Egg-Chan, cuz it’s shaped like an egg and tbh I don’t mind that, it’s cute ^^! So, I’ll be retrying this tut when I get more yarn and stuffing this weekend!
Thank you so so so much for this tutorial!! I just made my first ever crochet animal!! Amazing step by step instructions I instantly understood how to do it I ordered some eyes special for this!
Thanks so much. I love this frog. It’s adorable. You’re right it is an amazing first project
Yay! I'm so glad you think so!! :)
OMG! This is my first ever crochet project and it’s sooo cute! You explain it so well and it’s so easy to follow.Thank you so much!😄

Thank you for this tutorial! This is my first amigurumi thing I've made.
I made my first little guy! He isn't perfect, but I'm proud of him. I didn't have the crochet needle or the eyes, but I figured it out in the end. He turned out pretty well! Thanks for an easy tutorial! ❤❤❤
This was my first stuffed crochet! You are very easy to follow all the way up to sewing. Had some trouble with that so I did my own thing. But thank you very much for teaching!
I was trying to learn a new skill but all of the crochet videos were to feast and complicated, but after I saw yours it made since! Thank you so much keep at it!
I love you’re videos!!! This was my first project and I loved it! I especially love your pride plushies!!!

Thank you so much! I have crocheted a few amigurumi plushies only so I am still a beginner but thanks to you I could crochet this! Ever since I started crocheting I have been wanting to make a frog and so I did it today and I am so happy with how it turned out! I added arms and legs on mine but it still looks adorable without them!
Awww! This really made my day! I’m so glad that you were able to make a frog with this tutorial and the added arms and legs sound so cute! 💕
Me who just started and is already crying over the magic circle 😭
Me too please. I think you need to get a private tutor to get you to go step by step
Stoppp girl me too 😭😭
Thanks!
This is a great tutorial for a beginner like me. Thank you so much!💚
I LOVE U SOOO LUCH YOU JUSTE HELPED ME DO THE B-DAY PRESENT FOR MY LIL SIS💕💕💕💕💕💕
Aww Wow! That makes me so happy! Happy birthday to your sister!!!
@@themaryjay she liked it soo luch ive never seen her so happy before😭
i crocheted this and i uses the bernat blanket yarn in the color sailors delight and it soo cute ans i added little plush on its cheeks
Oh same except I am using color dark teal
How do I not make the magic circle shrink in? Every time I try to make it at first it looks good but the more I try to crochet, the smaller the circle gets until it looks like a tube or a leg warmer
Nice this is my first stuffie and I love it tysm 😊

Hello! I just wanted to say how helpful this was I bought a kit for this off Amazon but the instructions/tutorial were very simple and not helpful and this was very detailed and helpful thank u so much!
This meant a lot to me, I wanted to learn how to make crochet "plushie's" because I'm very allergic to synthetics. (:polyester, Spandex, elastics, different kinds of man made materials.) Because of my allergy I can't have cute plushie's and I wanted to crochet something similar out of cotton, based, yarn, ur video helped me do that thank u so, so very much. I hope u have great success in ur future!
(Yes ik there not supposed to be plushie's and it's not the same thing)
I am really glad that you found this helpful and detailed!!! Thank you so much for using my tutorial 💕💕
I just made her bunny it was very wonky so I’m doing this to try inprove it’s actually very easy but I put the rong amount of stitches this is helping me to make my first plushie I have the courage to do more now\
Been working for around thirty minutes now, instruction are wonderfully clear and it looks awesome, so excited for finished product!!!
I love this, it was so easy to make and so much fun!
Awww that makes me so happy to hear!!! I'm so glad you loved it! Thank you so much for following along :)
Her: so now after decreasing we should have 24 stitches
Me: I have 28… okay let me retry. Now I have 29… okay one more time. 28 again?!?!!?? (This is my first ever amigrumi so it’s a bit harder but still a great tutorial!)
Update: after a few more tries I finally got down to 25 stitches and I’m gonna say that’s good enough!
Same hahahaha
Thank you for this! * me using a bobby pin for my stitch marker* 🤣
Same
Hi i already did your bee, and i was just asking if you could do cat or dog tutorial. Thank you!
I have been looking for a good crochet plushie tutorial Arbuthnot all of the ones I have found are really difficult to follow. This was the first tutorial I have been able to follow easily! And on top of that it actually made crocheting fun, while the other tutorials just made it stressful and overwhelming. Thank you so much!
My best friend has an obsession for frogs this is a perfect example of what to do thank you by the way I’m going to subscribe
I made the body just right but I can't seem to start the eyes right 😢 I keep having a hole In the middle and yours clearly doesn't have a hole when you start the eye, does anyone have any suggestions? I would really appreciate it
I’ve been trying to make this frog and every time I try it doesn’t end up right I dont what I’m doing wrong
@@janeaacosta9075 I did eventually get it but mine is a little wonky for sure compared to the original. I had to turn the play back sleep to the slowest available and pause very often pretty much mimicking her hands exactly to get it, I probably spent an hour a day for a whole week on it but It did start to click. I suggest just working on it In your free time and if you start to get frustrated put It down and come back to it later. Take it slow and know that if you mess up just unravel a few crochets and start again! I believe in you!
Hi i just wanna say u said its beginners ur literally going faster than the speed of light!
I used a much bigger needle and much bigger yarn so mine turned our about 3x the size of yours. he's called Alejandro and I love him sm
I love it!!!
This was my first project and I love it! Now I am making bees and other animals.
38:25 thank you so much for helping me achieve my goal I love your channel btw ❤😊
Aww that means alot! Tysm ❤
@@themaryjay no problem I really do think your great and I love your videos so much I’m your biggest fan 😊❤
