😂🤣😂 It’s actually based on the green tree frogs that squeeze into tiny gaps between the bricks in my house. Whenever I see them squished into spaces smaller than their usual height I imagine how squished I would feel if I had to squeeze into such a narrow space… thus the idea for the squashed frog door stopper was born 😂🤣😂 I was surprised when some people said I was being cruel because I’ve only ever imagined our Australian green tree frogs purposely squeezing themselves into tiny crevices and imagining how exhausting that must be 😂😂😂

Hi, The only thing I can think of that would cause the body to become pointy is if you stack your increases on top of increases from the previous rounds or place them too close together in one round. You need to place the increases between the increases from the previous rounds and spread them evenly around each round. If you have put increases close together or stacked them on increases from previous rounds you would get pointy sections. In that case, you would need to undo some of your work, back to where the pointy parts start. As to whether they will affect your project, it probably depends on what you are using to fill your frog. The solid lawn bowls ball or bocce balls would help to push any bumps flatter if it is a tight squeeze to fit them in. If you are planning to use stuffing, you could test it out now by stuffing what you've completed so far very firmly with fibre stuffing and see whether you still have pointy sections... I hope it works out for you and I hope your godmother loves it 🥰

​@@carolynzakithanks for the help! I was more talking about the start of the work where my magic ring is, it's kind of poking out and the work in general is more in a cone shaped that it's supposed to be at this stage (around row 10)

@@ash_the_crow9707 umm, could it be round 4? The increases there should prevent it from becoming a cone shape… R1: MR 8sc (8), R2: (Inc, sc) x4 (12), R3: (inc, 2sc) x 4 (16), R4: (inc, sc) x 8 (24)

​@@carolynzakiThanks I think I must have forgotten some increases along the way!!

@@Sillymeat82 it’s pretty simple. A cube head sewn into a rectangle body and 4 little round legs.

@@cbonn4522 I used a 5 mm hook for the legs, body and head, a 4 mm hook for the eyes and a 3.5 mm hook for the tongue. You could use the same size for all of these parts if you can buy yarn in the same thickness for each colour. I was limited by the yarn sizes that are available in my area. I couldn’t buy green and white yarn in the same thickness. I chose to use a narrower yarn for the tongue because I liked how it looked with a narrower yarn 🧶 🐸

Nice guess

😂🤣😂 yes. He is 🥰

It’s my favourite one too! 🥰🥰🥰

I hope you have fun making it! 😂🤣😂 I’m sure your mom will enjoy having a 🐸 holding her door open more than a 📦. That’s such a cool story! Thank you for sharing it with me 🥰

Yay! Congratulations 🥳 It’s a pretty difficult project for your first time crocheting… but I think it’s always better to make something that inspires you 🥰 I’m so proud of you for finishing this project 👏 let me know what you try next. I’m cheering for you 🤩

Which part do you mean? At 5:20, or 8:20?

​@@carolynzaki8:20, but eventually figured it out!! Thank you so much for the tutorial, you're amazing for doing all of this for free!! 💕

@@alx76 ahh, the sewing part. Yes, you’re right. I should have shown how to start at least… my sewing style isn’t pretty 😞 I try to make things with as little sewing as possible, but you’re right, I should have shown more there. I’m sorry you had to struggle with that part because I was embarrassed about my dreadful sewing technique😅

Hi 😊, you can choose subtitles in your own language in the KZbin settings.

Hi 😊, you can choose subtitles in Spanish in the KZbin settings.

You can zoom into the picture by using the pinch to zoom feature. Touch the screen with 2 fingers close together and swipe out with both fingers. To come back to the full picture, start with 2 fingers touching the screen and swipe while pinching them together.

I hope you can make your own little frog! mine always make everyone laugh... You can slow the video down using the KZbin controls. Go to playback speed and slow it down as much as you like.

Hi Suzanne, Thank you for noticing I've missed the stitch count for round 8. I added it to the description. You'll notice in the video that there are increases in round 8. The pattern for the arms and legs is the first part I've described how to make in the video. It's at 2:58. I've actually made 2 options for the toes. In this video I used Magic rings in a contrasting colour for the toe pads and 16 fdc for the front legs and 18 fdc for the back legs with 4 chain from the fdc to the toes. Then sew the stitches together to make a little hand where all the chains meet. I hope you have fun making your own little squashed frog door stopper!

I forgot to add… I’ve made a separate video for the smaller toe option.

I just looked up what a snow leopard looks like. They are so beautiful! 🤩

Thank you! 😊

You can choose subtitles in Spanish from the settings in KZbin. Choose language and then auto translate into your language.

The ball is about 12 cm (4.75 in) in diameter. The circumference is 39 cm (15.5 in). The ball I used in the tutorial is a lawn bowls ball, which is flatter on the top and bottom sides. It's about 13 cm across and 11 cm (4 3/8 in) high.

We have large “green tree frogs” where I live. That’s actually what they are called! They squeeze through tiny spaces, much smaller than their bodies. I wonder how they can possibly fit through. My crochet frog is not dead! It’s just tired from squeezing under the door. It’s taking a break.

😊

You can automatically translate the captions into Spanish. There is a button on the screen that looks like a bolt (cog). Press that and select captions. You can change the language of the captions there. Just choose Spanish and it should work. It’s auto translate, so I’m not sure how well it translates… I hope you can make your own frog! 😊

You can translate the captions to any language. Click on the thing that looks like a cog (bolt). Choose captions and select your language. I hope it helps.😊

You only need a weighted ball in the body. I experimented with a cut tennis ball in the head, but the shaping in the crochet pattern is enough to keep the shape and you don’t need weight on both sides. You can also fill the body with tights filled with stones, or other small weighted things, but I prefer the recycled heavy ball option because of the beautiful shape it gives.

@@carolynzaki thanks <3

He’s just taking a break as he squeezes under the door. 🤣

You can auto translate the video into any language. If you press the button for subtitles, you can choose your language there.

Nice! I hope you had a happy birthday 🎂

@@carolynzaki my 9th birthday was awesome:) (happy May the 4th and Cinco de mio)

I actually love frogs and never imagined my door stopper was dead. We have big green tree frogs here and they can squeeze through the tiniest spaces. I’ve only ever imagined my frog squeezing under the door and getting exhausted part way. 😂🤣

Hi Nicole, The tongue is made using the foundation double crochet (FDC) stitch. I made a video on how to make a foundation double crochet for right and left handed. Here is the link for the right handed version. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWXanGyVo56He8Usi=DUd-VDHYLUw4NIef And here’s the link for the left handed version. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2SUk3yrh8mmY7Msi=v-ZwQu6ozd3Rv0xa Let me know how you go with it.

I don’t know how accurate it is, but you can get KZbin to auto translate into Portuguese. Open the settings cog. Then press captions. Then press auto translate and choose your language. 😊
