Free Amigurumi Frog Prince Pattern



With Halloween just around the corner, it has me thinking on all the little princesses 
who will be trick or treating. 
Can I just say I haven't seen nearly as many dress up as prince charmings?!
The princess must have a counterpart with her no? 
I think this frog prince would be the perfect pairing with any princess costume! 
I give you the amigurumi pattern here free to be made at your leisure nearly a month in advance of trick or treating. I believe in you! ;) I believe in miracles too, and yarn... yarn that can make something to brighten any one's day... okay - ready, set, go!
