Rainbow frogs became a small craze online, and this crochet rainbow frog amigurumi by ComplicatedKnots is a fun way to use up bright yarn. The video walks through every piece, from the eyelids to the little toes, and shows how the color changes create the striped pattern on the frog's back.

Next come the body, the feet, the front legs and the back legs. Before the front legs there is a quick demonstration of the double treble crochet used in the pattern, and later a note about how the front legs are attached. The last part covers the assembly and a look at the finished frogs.

The round counts appear on screen, along with a color key for each piece, so you can pause and follow along at your own pace.

Tips Before You Start

  • Pick yarns of the same weight for all the colors so the stripes line up and the frog keeps an even shape.
  • Place the safety eyes where the video shows before you finish stuffing. Once the washers are on, they are hard to move.
  • Not a fan of rainbows? The same frog works in a single color, like the plain green one in the video.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to know double treble crochet?
No. The video includes a short demonstration of the stitch right before the front legs section.

Can I buy or download this pattern on Urbaki?
No. ComplicatedKnots' patterns are not sold or available for download on Urbaki, and Urbaki is not affiliated with ComplicatedKnots. The tutorial is free to watch on her YouTube channel.
