This tutorial by Crochet Bits and Knits demonstrates how to create an adorable crochet frog eyeglasses holder. The guide is easy to follow, and the result is a charming, functional project that securely holds eyeglasses while adding character to your space. Below is a summary of the process:

Introduction and Materials Needed

• The project is a variation of a crochet bear eyeglasses holder, reimagined as a frog.
• Materials Required:
  • Green, white, and brown yarn (e.g., Red Heart Super Saver or similar).
  • Safety eyes (optional; can also sew the eyes).
  • Crochet hook (4mm), scissors, stitch markers, and darning needle.
  • Polyester stuffing for filling.

Creating the Base

Starting the Oval Base

• Begin with a chain as the foundation, followed by single crochets worked on both sides of the chain.

Building Up Rounds

• Increase stitches strategically at the ends of each row to form a rounded oval shape.
• Repeat the process for multiple rounds, ensuring the piece grows symmetrically.

Creating Two Identical Pieces

• Follow the same steps to complete an identical second oval piece.
• Leave loose yarn tails for attaching the pieces later.

Making the Frog’s Eyes

Green Part of the Eyes

• Use a magic ring to begin each eye.
• Add single crochets, increases, and multiple rounds to gradually expand the size.
• Create two identical green pieces.

White Part of the Eyes

• Use a magic ring and follow similar steps as the green part.
• Attach the white parts on top of the green discs using front-loop stitching.
• Optionally add stuffing inside the eyes for a more elevated look.

Adding Safety Eyes

• Place safety eyes into the center of the assembled eye pieces before attaching.
• Alternatively, eyes can be sewn on if desired.

Assembling the Frog Holder

Connecting the Base Pieces

• Lay the two oval base pieces on top of each other.
• Join the edges using single crochet stitches, ensuring alignment.
• Leave an opening to stuff the base, then finish closing it with more stitches.

Attaching the Eyes to the Base

• Align the eyes symmetrically on the top half of the base.
• Use a darning needle to secure the eyes by stitching them into place.
• Ensure the stitching tightly secures the pieces while maintaining neatness.

Adding the Smile

• Thread the brown yarn to create the frog’s smile on the base.
• Use simple embroidery techniques to make the mouth, ensuring it is centered and proportional.
• Secure and weave in ends neatly at the back.

Finishing Touches

• Weave in any loose ends to complete the project.
• Adjust the final shape with light stuffing and shaping.
• Check that the eyeglasses fit securely on top of the frog holder.

This tutorial results in a functional and cute crochet frog eyeglasses holder—an excellent handmade project for personal use or gifting. The instructor emphasizes clarity by breaking down the steps into manageable parts, making it beginner-friendly.
