Frog:
Follow the same color changes as the 3-stripe frog.
Flower (shown in the photo):
For the frog in the picture, I used a free flower pattern by Hello Yellow Yarn that you can find here (flower pattern credit to MJ Carlos- Hello Yellow Yarn). In order for this flower to fit, you’ll need to use a thinner yarn than the yarn for the frog. I used Size 6 Super Bulky Yarn (bernat blanket) for the frog, but #4 Worsted Weight Yarn for the flower (with a 3.75 mm hook).
If you don’t have a different yarn size, you can try one of my mini flower patterns using the same yarn as the frog. Although I haven’t made these flowers for the frog specifically before, the size should be similar. If it comes out a little too large or small, I suggest sizing the hook down (to make it smaller) or up (to make it larger).
Alternative Flower (with the same type of yarn as the frog):
Using Yellow
R1: 5 SC in MR
Change Color to Pink
R2: [SL ST, CH 1, HDC, CH 1, SL ST] in each stitch for a total of 5 petals.
FO leaving a long tail for sewing.
Sew the flower onto the white stripe.
