SPECIAL TECHNIQUES

Adjustable Ring (also known as the Magic Loop):

Start your adjustable ring exactly as you start a slip knot by pulling 6 to 8 inches of yarn from the yarn skein. The working end of yarn comes from the skein, and the tail end of yarn is on the other side. Loop the tail end of the yarn under the working end to form a loop.. Pick up the loop and pinch the working end, moving it through the loop. Place a new loop on the hook. Chain 1 to lock in the ring. Once finished crocheting around the ring, pull the tail end to close the ring.

NOTES

  • Frog is worked in pieces and seamed together. Details are added last.
  • Body, head and eyes are worked in joined rounds.
  • The arms and legs are worked in continuous spiral rounds that are not joined at the end of the round.
