Heart Frog
This is a pretty frog that would enhance the look of any bag or tote you make. It is very easy to make also.
Materials-
Worsted weight yarn of your choice (I used Red Heart Hot Red)
Crochet hook size H
Make a crocheted rope 16" long. (If you do not know how to make a crocheted rope, please refer to this tutorial: How to Make Crocheted Ropes)
Once you have your rope made, proceed as follows to make your frog:
Fold rope in half, matching ends. Twist once, forming a loop the size of the button you will be using. Thread a blunt needle with the yarn you used to make the rope, sew the center loops right below the twist you made to form the buttonhole (about 5 loops).
Turn one end up to form one of the sides of the heart, and continue to sew center. Stitch also the portion you curled up to secure the heart shape. Rep on the other side. Twist the ends that are on the sides to form small circles and sew to secure. Fasten off. Weave in tail.
Note-
Always use side loops of rope to sew shapes together.
Done!
