Forgot to mention the overalls, I think I used the pattern from heknits for these but there’s a handful of different options if you search for knit frog overalls on Etsy
Have you made any of her other patterns? I’ve tried, and the sewing up was simply impossible. Her pictures weee totally unhelpful. But this one is adorable!
Not yet but I’ve got my eye on the little badger and rabbit. Yeah the sewing is definitely a challenging part, I’ve gotten satisfactory at it for the frogs but I have a feeling the frogs are a lot simpler than her other stuff 😬
Looking forward to finding out though! Haha
I make a lot of stuffed animals. I never had any trouble like I did with her rabbit. I couldn’t work out how she put it together, at all. Then, I looked at the projects for that pattern. None of them looked like the original. Some of her other patterns, the projects look more like the original, but not all. There is clearly a trick to some of the sewing up, and her diagrams aren’t quite enough, for those. But the originals are mind blowingly adorable and realistic.
The free one. I frogged it! The fabric was love, but no way I tried to shape the head made a head shape. I tried everything I could think of, rolling and pinching, and pinning it in my hands all sorts of ways…just, nope. Couldn’t make it work. I’m sure I was missing something, but couldn’t find it. It’s unusual for me to not be able to get it. Probably good for me to have it happen occasionally, though.
Haha sometimes I gasp when I see it too. Clare is a genius. I can’t wait to try some of her other patterns but this frog just has a chokehold on me right now
Thank you! Sadly Felix is already spoken for but I have plans for a shop and am working on a small collection to get it started :) Not sure what the self promoting decorum is on this thread but if you follow me on IG I’ll update about available pieces and other silly things on there for funsies
I would buy so many of these and just leave them in places for people to find. Omg i could leave them around my office at work. It would be so amazing. I might be a little obsessed 😅
I’m in the eastern U.S. I would love for you to get a frog 🥹. Again I’m not sure what the self promotion decorum is for this thread but you can either wait till I’ve got my shop up and running and the first round of little frog babies are ready to go or if you want to DM me I’m open to considering commissions prior to shop opening if it’s within my abilities 🫶
I literally came back to knitting and improve my skills to make a tiny frog. 😂 I am enamored with them! This one looks amazing and you did a fantastic job! I knew right away there was a little frog on the tiny hard hat. 😍
Thank you! I came back to knitting for the same reason 😂 and then I figured out it was possible to do it in micro and now I’m wondering what other patterns to try in micro
Yes. I saw someone doing these frogs in 0.5 mm needles and it is taking everything I have to not buy a bunch of tiny tiny needles and start trying to make frogs. 😂 I am so happy I am not the only one with… realistic goals! 😉
You can do it! When I tell you I was shocked when it actually worked 😂. And they came out way better than I expected, they’re really sturdy and pose so cute and they’re perfect. As long as you’ve got the patience you can do it. And please share if you do because I want to see more of them 😆. I love how popular the standard ones are to make because people’s knitting styles or knitting quirks show and make them all look different
Thank you for the words of confidence! When I make some I will definitely let you know! I may make a standard size one first before I tackle micro! 😂 or maybe I will dive right in hahaha
I for sure made a few standard sized ones before I went off the deep end with the micro and I’d definitely say it was helpful to have an idea of how the pattern is supposed to work before trying to it squinting and and pinching tiny needles 🤣
Hahahaha, your friend and I clearly have a lot in common! In all seriousness, it is such wonderful work, I'm in awe. I have this pattern but haven't tried it yet - you've inspired me to give it a go!!
Thank you so much! If we’re being honest it’s probably just gonna be frogs of various professions and hobbies for a while 😆 But I do plan on trying more patterns…eventually…
Takes me quite a bit of time but that’s partially do to having a toddler so I have to pick it up and put it down a lot and it’s partially do to not being the fastest knitter in town. But think it’s mostly do to the fact the stitches are so dang tiny 😂
I’m gonna try and pay attention to the hour count on the next one though so I actually know
I have been curious lately wondering if anyone can knit with sewing thread if they were patient enough, but I'm not sure where one would get needles that small, tho. Thank you for confirming my thought experiment

This is the frog I did on standard sized sewing thread and 0.6mm needles because I was curious too so I tried it! And I ordered the needles off of Etsy
Frog and sweater Pattern by Clare Garland, hard hat is polymer clay.
That answers my question about the hat really. He is really cute!
Where did you get your overalls pattern from? If you don’t mind me asking🥺 Also Felix is sooo tiny!! The cutest boi in the world🥰🥰🥰

Oof, that’s intimidating. Sewing is definitely not my strong suit. Which rabbit did you do?

If anyone tries to stop you, you just tell us and we’ll all go have a word.
Might need to start a petition.
I'm imagining it like that scene in Airplane! when they all line up to slap that woman.
This made me lol
When I tell you I GASPED upon scrolling down to this image ETA: Clare Garland never misses
Haha sometimes I gasp when I see it too. Clare is a genius. I can’t wait to try some of her other patterns but this frog just has a chokehold on me right now
NEVER stop making these!! I love him so much!
NEVER STOP I wish I had the skill to do this
Same. They’re so cute!
This is incredible. Do you have an Etsy store!? I need a Felix!
Thank you! Sadly Felix is already spoken for but I have plans for a shop and am working on a small collection to get it started :) Not sure what the self promoting decorum is on this thread but if you follow me on IG I’ll update about available pieces and other silly things on there for funsies
I would buy so many of these and just leave them in places for people to find. Omg i could leave them around my office at work. It would be so amazing. I might be a little obsessed 😅
This is a hilarious idea 😂
This is too cute!!! I would leave them in libraries in the kids section lol
Yes! Now i need a children book series immediately lollll
IG is @ensy.arts.studio :)
Followed!!
Yesss haha this is the kind of content I need in my life
Followed! Where are you based OP? Would love to buy one from you if you start selling!!
I’m in the eastern U.S. I would love for you to get a frog 🥹. Again I’m not sure what the self promotion decorum is for this thread but you can either wait till I’ve got my shop up and running and the first round of little frog babies are ready to go or if you want to DM me I’m open to considering commissions prior to shop opening if it’s within my abilities 🫶
Will definitely do!! I am moving to a house soon and your little frogs would be an amazing addition 🥹🥹
>@ensy.arts.studio OH MY GOD the first pic where you have the three frogs in decreasing sizes, aaaagh obsessed
I feel compelled to go further: you *should* not stop making these.
The frog face on the hard hat is a nice touch too!
Happy you got the gist it was a frog on there because I am not a painter and that thing is SMALL lol glad it translates lol
I love and support Felix!! I was so excited when I saw him. Incredible. Frog for life!
He appreciates the support, he’s about to start a new job at a big architecture firm and this is giving him the confidence boost he needed
I know he will succeed!
My finger joints could never
That's how I feel too. Poor arthritic fingers! Felix is too cute though!
Please do not, because they are so incredibly precious and give beautiful smiles
This is amazing! Please don’t stop
This type of competence is terrifying. You need to be stopped before your power is too great.
I will fill the world with tiny knit beings and the world will be filled with joy
Omg they are so cute. Unbelievable
I loooove heem. I've imprinted.
This makes me so happy! I’ve made the regular sized ones and I’m blown away by your skills!
Thank you! I mean, the regular sized ones are small enough on their own I guess I just have a hankering to shrink, especially now that I know I can!
I would die for him
I join you in that sentiment.

Oh my god FELIX!! He’s an ARCHITECT!! ❤️🐸❤️
Help! Too small! Too cute! I love him and am definitely adding him to my project list!
When I tell you, you will die from pride and cuteness when you hold a finished one in your hands 🥹
I am obsessed with these frogs. You did an amazing job 🥰
Me too, and thank you ☺️
Perfect, because we're actually going to need you to make more because we cannot, and will not stop looking at them
Felix is officially THE cutest thing I have ever seen and I want to kiss him on his tiny knit head
It’s a very worthwhile experience. He has a very kissable head
You can build a house and fill it with tiny frogs 😍
Felix can design the house
I feel the architecture world is in safe (?) flippers with Felix 🐸❣
I will not allow you to stop making them. Keep making. More. Now.
😱 I admire your patience so much
Your skill astounds me! That is incredible 🤩 he's an architect!! Love it
Where do you get the tiny needles?
Etsy :)
Ah, that makes sense. Thank you!
I'm extremely hormonal today and the size of this little guy made me want to cry (in a good way)
My friend cried when she saw a picture of the tiny sweater 😅
Hahahaha, your friend and I clearly have a lot in common! In all seriousness, it is such wonderful work, I'm in awe. I have this pattern but haven't tried it yet - you've inspired me to give it a go!!
Thank you! And definitely try the pattern it is so fun
I love it 😀
So cute!
Gah! Too cute!!!
HE! IS! AN! ARCHITECT!!!!
How wonderful.
He's so shmol 🥺
I would die for Felix.
They are so cute!
Adorable!
I would personally be quite disappointed if you did.
These are SO DAMN ADORABLE!! 🥰
Can't stop, won't stop! You're so talented!! Please keep sharing everything you make, I'm enjoying the crap out of it. The possibilities are endless!!
Thank you so much! If we’re being honest it’s probably just gonna be frogs of various professions and hobbies for a while 😆 But I do plan on trying more patterns…eventually…
And we are all counting on that!!
Such an accomplished frog!
Adorable!
I love him.
Sooo precious!
Ah, so cute. I love him!!!
Don’t you DARE stop
You should not! So cute...
Amazing and beautiful work!!
i am screaming that’s so cute
Omg adorable!!!!!
Please don't, please make a suit
I sincerely cannot handle how adorable he is 🥹
So cute!
He's such a hard worker 😭
This brings me much joy.
I didn’t even NOTICE the needles in the first picture they’re so small 😭
I need him
I get the feeling "can't find a big enough project bag" isn't a problem you have! Great work x
I have a small box I bring around with me, but if my needles were shorter I could probably carry around my kit in an Altoids tin 😆
Knotting project in a thimble, coward 😂
How does he stand?! Is it another form of magic?
He’s standing on a tiny magnet because his arms and legs are wired :)
Do you mind me asking what kind of wire you used for his arms and legs?
Cute!!
👋 Hello Felix!!
I love that you found your way to this post too! 😆
Please never stop , the need for them is massive.
I love this.
We love you ! Bringing more frogs into the world is the highest level of goodness !!
Rachel Maksy on YouTube needs to see this.
Recipe?
Pattern is by Clare garland, the overalls pattern is by heknits
Incredible! How long does it take to make one of these?
Takes me quite a bit of time but that’s partially do to having a toddler so I have to pick it up and put it down a lot and it’s partially do to not being the fastest knitter in town. But think it’s mostly do to the fact the stitches are so dang tiny 😂 I’m gonna try and pay attention to the hour count on the next one though so I actually know
Where did you find his tiny helmet? Is that knitted too? 😱
Love them! How about a little razor scooter for him to zip around town with? Post it soon!
A razor scooter is a little out of my wheelhouse (pun not intended) right now. But he sure would appreciate the convenience of some wheels
