Make your own Mini Robert the Frog with this fun crochet kit from best-selling author and designer Kerry Lord. Mini Robert is a wonderfully quick project for any one wanting a step up from complete beginner. Using soft DK yarn, it can be completed in a short period of time with only a little know-how.

The miniature version of Robert the Frog hopped into the mini menagerie in 2017, and can also be found in Kerry Lord’s How to Crochet collection of crochet books. There are over 6000 species of frog worldwide, and evidence shows these amphibians have been here for more than 200 million years (as long as the dinosaurs).

This kit includes:

• Super soft pure wool in DK, spun in the UK
• A soft grip 3mm TOFT crochet hook
• Recycled toy stuffing
• Wool needle for sewing up at the end
• A length of black thread for the eyes
• Postcard pattern with instructions for making your animal
• Getting started crochet advice and links to Toft’s ‘how to’ YouTube videos

Level two kit: This kit is suitable for enthusiastic beginners or those who have crocheted before.

Finished size: When finished your Mini Frog will be approximately 8cm.
