BLO back loops only Note: Unless indicated otherwise, parts are worked in rounds for the frog. You can start with 2 ch or make a magic ring. It is important to mark the beginning of your round. Start to make the arms first, because they will be crocheted to the body. For crocheting the mouth you need a little bit of green wool for 2 rows: This is only important if you have just one skein of green wool available.

To fix the diving tank to the vest you need to make two chains. Take two threads and make a chain with about 16 x ch. Pull the chains through the holes of the vest and close them with a sl st. Please check, how many stitches you need, so that the diving tank fits good inside and it is not too big or small.

13 13 Diving mask You need a piece of plastic for the diving mask. I searched in my household and found a transparent plastic box with cotton swabs inside. Look around, I m sure you will find many different packaging s suitable for the diving mask. Draw the shape to your plastic material, you can see in the picture below, and cut it out. If you crochet with wool by Schachenmayr Catania, you can use the same size, otherwise you have to enlarge or reduce the glasses. 3,5 cm / 1,38 inches 4 cm/1,56 inches 8 cm / 3,15 inches The surrounding for the diving mask is crocheted in rows 1. Take yellow wool and make a chain in the length of the outside dimensions of the mask. I made 46 chains. But because some of you crochet tighter or looser, you have to check how many stitches you need. 2. Starting in the second ch from hook, and make 45 x sc, ch, turn, 3. BLO: 45 x sc, cut the thread and sew it. Then glue this crochet piece around the plastic material.

14 14 The holding band for the diving mask Crochet in rows: 3 x ch in black, ch, turn 2 x sc, ch turn, - repeat the row as many times until it fits to the head of the frog. I have made 34 rows, please check how many rows you need. Then sew the holding band to the mask. Have fun with your Frog Jack! Do not copy or post this pattern without my permission.
