Make up the
Parts.
1.
Make sure all parts are stuffed.
2.
Put the eye balls inside the eye sockets and sew
the ball into place. Place the pupil
over the ball and position the eyes as you wish to make the expression and sew
them into place.
3.
Sew the belly onto the frogs tummy. Try to cover the jogging line if you can.
4.
Sew the lips onto the head, leaving half both of
the lips not sewn down (like a pocket -
half open)
5.
Sew the head onto the body
6.
Sew the tongue into the mouth, way down in so it
can be hidden when not using it
7.
Sew the arms onto the body
8.
Sew in any leftover lengths of wool.
Your instruction for the belly do not make sense. I started with 6 stitches in magic circle. Round 2 says 2sc, Inc ending with 12 stitches. The only way to end up with 12 is to Inc every stitch. Round 3 I SC 5, Inc, Inc, sc5 to end up with 14. Round 4 requires more than 14 stitches to end up with 30. To get round 4 completed round 3 needed 18 stitches instead of 14.
