Crochet Frog Phone Pouch Pattern with a Crown and Little Legs
· admin
This crochet frog phone pouch pattern has a plain single-crochet bag, a wide frog face, raised white eyes and a small three-point crown. It is the solid-fabric version of the animal pouch collection: do not substitute the alternating chain-space rounds from the cat or cow bag. The narrow legs and toes give the finished frog its hanging shape.
Materials and Finished Size
- Sport-weight yarn such as YarnArt Jeans: beige for the bag; green for the frog and eye surrounds; white for eyes; black for embroidery and yellow for the crown. The source gives colors but no measured total yardage.
- 2.3 mm crochet hook; tapestry needle, scissors, stitch marker, pins and polyester fiberfill for the stuffed details.
- Two 15 mm buttons for the strap attachment; a sew-on magnetic snap for the flap, visible in the source assembly photographs.
- White, green and black yarn for the crocheted eyes; yellow yarn for the crown.
- Optional fabric glue for positioning details, as used in the source. Sewing the pieces down gives an additional mechanical attachment.
Reference size: approximately 17 × 10 cm (6.7 × 3.9 in), with a 113 cm (44.5 in) strap. These are sample measurements, not a promise of fit. Measure your phone with its case on and test the usable opening before adding the character. The dense shaping and sewn details suit a crocheter comfortable with amigurumi and small parts.
Stitches and Pattern Notes
US terms: ch = chain; sc = single crochet; inc = 2 sc in one stitch; dec = sc2tog; sl st = slip stitch; hdc = half double crochet; dc = double crochet; st(s) = stitch(es); MR = magic ring. Parentheses followed by a repeat number mean repeat that group. Numbers in the Total column are the completed stitches, except where chain spaces are explicitly included. Work the small animal pieces in continuous rounds unless a row or join is specified.
The designer uses yarn-under single crochet, which makes an X-shaped stitch. Use the same stitch style consistently if you want fabric close to the reference. A yarn-over single crochet sample can be a different size. Keep a marker in the first stitch and move it after each completed round. Turning chains added to flat rows are for height and do not count as stitches.
Step 1: Crochet the Phone Pouch
With the pouch color, ch 24. Work along both sides of this chain to create the oval bottom; do not join the chain into a ring.
| Round / row | Instructions | Total |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | From the second ch: 22 sc, 3 sc in the last ch; along the other side, 21 sc, inc. | 48 |
| 2 | Inc, 21 sc, inc in each of the next 3 sts, 21 sc, inc twice. | 54 |
| 3 | Inc, 24 sc, inc in each of the next 3 sts, 24 sc, inc twice. | 60 |
| 4–51 | Sc in every stitch around for 48 rounds. | 60 each |
Fasten off and weave in the end. Check that the phone slides in without forcing the side walls apart. Changing the foundation width also changes the oval increases and the placement of the decoration, so make and measure the pouch before committing to the small character pieces.
Step 2: Add the Flap and Strap
Make the flap separately: leave a sewing tail, ch 15, then sc in the second ch and the remaining chains for 14 sc. Ch 1 and turn. Work twelve more rows of 14 sc, giving thirteen rows altogether. Sew the starting edge to the center back between body Rounds 50 and 51.
For the strap, ch 3. Sc in the second ch and in the last ch for 2 sc. Ch 1, turn, then keep working two sc per row until the strip measures approximately 113 cm, or your chosen wearing length. Leave sewing tails. The reference uses a short folded loop at each strap end with the 15 mm side buttons; alternatively sew the ends securely to the two pouch sides. Check the length with the phone inside, because the fabric can stretch under its weight.
Fit the two halves of the magnetic snap to the flap and corresponding pouch front while they are aligned. Reinforce the attachment through several stitches, and keep the hardware out of the phone opening. The snap is visible in the source photographs even though its written materials list does not name it separately.
Step 3: Crochet the Frog Head
| Round / row | Instructions | Total |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Green: 6 sc in MR. | 6 |
| 2 | Inc around. | 12 |
| 3 | Repeat (3 inc, 3 sc) twice. | 18 |
| 4 | (Sc, inc) three times, 4 sc, (inc, sc) twice, inc, 3 sc. | 24 |
| 5 | (Sc, inc) four times, 5 sc, (inc, sc) three times, inc, 4 sc. | 32 |
| 6 | Repeat (7 sc, inc) four times. | 36 |
| 7–11 | Sc around. | 36 each |
| 12 | 6 sc, 6 inc, 12 sc, 6 inc, 6 sc. | 48 |
| 13–17 | Sc around. | 48 each |
| 18 | 6 sc, 6 dec, 12 sc, 6 dec, 6 sc. | 36 |
| 19 | 5 sc, dec, 4 sc, dec, 10 sc, dec, 4 sc, dec, 5 sc. | 32 |
| 20 | Repeat (dec, 2 sc) eight times. | 24 |
| 21 | Repeat (sc, dec) eight times. | 16 |
| 22 | Dec eight times. | 8 |
Add stuffing after Round 20, then close the final opening. Embroider the broad black mouth over Rounds 14–17. The source’s word “mouse” refers to this mouth detail, as shown by its photographs.
White Eyes — Make Two
| Round / row | Instructions | Total |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 6 sc in MR. | 6 |
| 2 | Inc around. | 12 |
| 3–4 | Sc around. | 12 each |
| 5 | Dec six times. | 6 |
Stuff lightly and close. Embroider the black pupil detail between white-eye Rounds 2–3.
Green Eye Surrounds — Make Two
| Round / row | Instructions | Total |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 6 sc in MR. | 6 |
| 2 | Inc around. | 12 |
| 3 | Repeat (3 sc, inc) three times. | 15 |
| 4 | Sc around. | 15 |
Seat one white eye in each green surround and attach them. Position the two completed eyes across head Rounds 5–9. Pin both before sewing so they sit at matching heights.
Three-Point Crown
With yellow, ch 18 and join without twisting. Sc in each chain for an 18-stitch ring. For the next round, work 3 sc, hdc, then a peak of (dc, ch 3, sl st in the third ch from the hook, dc) in one base stitch. Continue hdc, sc, hdc, a second peak in the next base stitch, hdc, sc, hdc, a third peak in the next base stitch, hdc, then 4 sc to close the round. Join and finish with a tail for sewing the crown between the eyes.
Count clarification: each peak occupies one base stitch. The source ends this crown round with 3 sc, which leaves one of the 18 base stitches unworked; the final 4 sc above use all eighteen. This is an editorial stitch-count correction, not a different crown shape.
Step 4: Crochet the Body, Legs and Toes
Flat Green Body
| Round / row | Instructions | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Foundation | Ch 9; start in the second ch. | |
| 1 | 7 sc, 3 sc in the last ch; on the other side, 6 sc, inc. | 18 |
| 2 | Inc, 6 sc, 3 inc, 6 sc, 2 inc. | 24 |
| 3 | Sc, inc, 6 sc, (sc, inc) three times, 6 sc, (sc, inc) twice. | 30 |
| 4 | Repeat (4 sc, inc) six times. | 36 |
| 5 | 2 sc, inc, (5 sc, inc) five times, 3 sc. | 42 |
This piece remains flat and unstuffed. Finish with an attachment tail.
Legs — Make Two in Green
| Round / row | Instructions | Total |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 6 sc in MR. | 6 |
| 2 | Inc around. | 12 |
| 3 | Repeat (3 sc, inc) three times. | 15 |
| 4–5 | Sc around. | 15 each |
| 6 | Repeat (3 sc, dec) three times. | 12 |
| 7–8 | Sc around. | 12 each |
| 9 | Repeat (4 sc, dec) twice. | 10 |
| 10 | Sc around. | 10 |
| 11 | Repeat (dec, 3 sc) twice. | 8 |
Leave these legs unstuffed. The narrow Round 11 end receives the toes.
For each foot, make three toes without cutting between them. Ch 4; in the second chain work 3 sc, then sl st in each of the two remaining chains. Repeat that ch-4 toe twice more, giving a fan of three toes. Finish with a tail and sew one fan to each leg at Round 11.
Arms — Make Two
| Round / row | Instructions | Total |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 6 sc in MR. | 6 |
| 2–8 | Sc around. | 6 each |
Leave unstuffed. The written source starts these arms in white, while its finished photograph shows green arms. Choose green to match the pictured frog; the stitch instructions are unchanged.
Step 5: Assemble the Frog Pouch
- Pin the head over pouch Rounds 21–38, with the crown above and the face centered.
- Attach the flat green body below the head, keeping the back wall of the bag free.
- Arrange the two legs below the body and secure them, then add the arms at the sides.
- Check the flap and strap with your phone inside. Secure every attached piece and finish the ends.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does this pouch have 51 body rounds?
The frog source uses solid single crochet through Round 51, while the other animal bags alternate textures through Round 48. Follow the frog’s own body table.
Are the eyes safety eyes?
No. The frog’s white eyes and green surrounds are crocheted, with black embroidery for the pupil details.
Does the short green oval need stuffing?
No. It is a flat body piece that sits against the bag. The head and white eye centers receive stuffing; the limbs remain flexible.
