Kirk the Frog is one of the friendliest amphibians you’ll ever meet. He can’t wait to join little ones as they hop around the house!

NOTES

Pattern is worked using the amigurumi method. Work in a continuous spiral without closing off each round with a ss. You may find it helpful to mark the first st of the round, moving the marker up as you work.

If you do not have a 3.75mm hook you can use a 3.5mm; however, this will affect the finished measurements.
