Amigurumi Crochet Pattern of a green frog who makes music on his banjo
Nelson the frog and his banjo
This is Nelson, he is a virtuoso on his banjo!!
This green frog lives for music, and his banjo is his faithful companion. With his three fingers, he happily plucks the four strings of his beloved instrument. Although the four-string banjo is often associated with Dixieland/jazz and Irish music, Nelson effortlessly plays his favorite bluegrass tunes.
If his peers want to sing a song, Nelson is happy to make the music to go with it!
Nelson the frog comes complete with a charming handkerchief around his neck and a cool hat on his head. He wears comfortable dungarees, ready to take on any musical challenge.
For which music lover are you going to crochet this super cute frog?
Katie: "Claudia was so quick and wonderful to reply with any questions about the pattern. This was, by far, the most advanced thing I have crocheted, but this pattern was very easy to read! And Nelson is ADORABLE"
