When frogs are this cute it's not hard to believe they could turn into princes, right?
I crocheted this little guy as part of my latest Amigurumi collection that features 5 little animals! They are approximately 5" tall and can work perfectly as attachments for a super sweet nursery mobile!
You can already find the patterns for crocheting the Panda and the Elephant listed in my Etsy and Ravelry pages!
