Newborn Frog Hat Crochet Pattern

Since a very early age, I’ve always had a fascination with frogs. 
As a little girl I’d scour our gardens for any signs of croaking life. These little expeditions always involved a sandwich (The food of brave explorers) and a pair of purple and green binoculars dangling around my neck.
After an endless search of roughly 10 minutes I’d spy a pair of froggy eyes peering out behind a water lily. Suddenly the hunt was on! I’d chase those green little legs across the backyard until finally I had captured my prey!… Only to release the poor little frog once I stared into it’s lonely little eyes and realised that this little frog might be missing her mummy…

  5. Olivia, I'm attempting to make this but I'm in the US and I couldn't find something as heavy as Lincraft Luxe. I'm using a weight 6 yarn but I've had to have more rows in order to make this work. I'm about to start working on the eyes and I'm curious, how big are they diameter-wise. Roughly. Thanks in advance for the help!
