The Zachary the Frog in Paintbox Yarns downloadable PDF is a 6-page A4 crochet pattern for an intermediate-level toy. It uses Paintbox Yarns Simply DK in three colors: Lime Green, Royal Blue, and Paper White. The pattern includes both UK and US stitch terms, such as dc (sc) and tr (dc).
What the pattern contains
The pattern begins with the head, worked in rounds starting with 6 dc into the 2nd chain from the hook. It includes instructions for stuffing the head firmly and finishing the body. The PDF provides all necessary stitch abbreviations and a list of materials.
Printing and tension tips
Print the PDF at actual size on A4 paper. Exact tension is not essential, but note that tight tension makes the toy smaller, while loose tension makes it larger. If your tension is too loose, the toy filling may show through the crochet, so aim for a firm, even stitch.
