The Sage Stitch

Baby Leggy Froggie

A tiny long-legged frog — one of the shop favourites

Baby Leggy Froggie

This teeny long-legged frog is one of The Sage Stitch's most-loved makes. It works up fast in soft, chunky size-6 yarn, uses just a handful of stitches (with a couple of bobbles for the smile), and the dangly make-as-you-go arms and legs give it all its character. A great quick, beginner-friendly amigurumi.
