cut yarn, leaving a tail for sewing. Thread through the stitches. Using a mattress stitch, sew the center back seam of the frog.
Feet – knit two
c/o 3 sts
row 1 – k f/b, k1, k f/b (5 sts)
row 2 – purl
row 3 – 8 – stockinette stitch rows
row 9 – k 1, yo, k 2 tog, yo, k 2 tog
row 10 – purl

row 17 – k 2 tog, k 1, k 2 tog
row 18 – purl
cast off
Kermit Collar:
c/o 24 sts
1 – k
2 – p
3 – working on just 3 stitches
slip 1, k 1, psso, k 1
p 2 tog
cut yarn and pull through stitch
reattach yarn for next 3 stitches
continue this way
If any one knows how to do this without having to cut the yarn and reattach every time, let me know!
(an alternative would be to cut the collar out of felt)
Finishing…
sew the leg seams and arm seams as in the other pocket/Izzy dolls. Stuff the head, shaping a little with your fingers so the wide mouth stands out, which is should do fairly easily. Fold each foot in half and sew around. The y/o “picot” sts form the toes. Sew to bottom of the legs.
Eyes are buttons. I put a largish french knot behind each eye to make them stand out a little bit.
Collar needs work. Any thoughts, suggestions are welcome!Frog Pocket Doll
