Crochet Frog Hat Pattern

It’s Spring! Bunnies, ducks, puddles, planting seeds, baby birds, blossoming flowers, AND FROGS! If you need a quick and cute crochet project, this frog hat is the one for you! Because it basically only uses one color, it works up fairly fast. Great for the cool spring weather and perfect for a boy or a girl. I would love to see the addition of a tiny crown for a frog prince or a little red tongue.
