Recently I designed the Newborn Princess Hat. When taking the photo I took advantage of a nearby frog to add my logo into the picture. My cousin (who is the pregnant one) loves frogs and always has as far back as I can remember. Anyways, after taking the photo of the princess hat, I knew I had to do my best at a frog hat.
Hope you have a hoppin time with this free crochet pattern for a 0-3 month frog hat!

When I first learned how to crochet, I found a great tutorial to teach me how to surface crochet. I used this tutorial to know how to make my smile. If you do not want to surface slip stitch for your smile, you can always sew a smile on with your yarn needle.
Once your smile is made, attach the cheek circles to both sides of the smile.
Thank you so much for the pattern..:) i need this..
So super cute! Thanks so much for adding your links to Hookin On Hump Day!
i reallylike a lot of your patterns but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to copy and save them. Is there a special thing I need to do to save your patterns for the future.
Hi Pauline! I’m glad you like them. I do not currently have the copy and paste option. But you can print the patterns with print option located at the bottom of each post/pattern. Hope that helps!
Help!!! my froggie’s eyes won’t stand up, they keep flopping forward when the hat is stretched out as if you’d put it on a head…. what do I do????
Try attaching them a little more. The more you attach them with the yarn and needle the stronger they will hold.

i see that i have N as 1omm.
sorry for the dumb question.
im new to crochet and learning stuff.
please suggest.
thanks.
My N hook is a 9 mm.
can this frog hat be doing with 1 straind of yarn and if so what size hook do I need? I’m needing to make a newborn size. Thank you.
One of the things that holds the eyes up so well is that it is double stranded.
