You’ll need worsted weight yarn in green (frog body), white (eyes), and a bit of black (pupils). Cotton yarn works well for durability, especially since this pouch may be handled often.

A 3.5mm or 4mm crochet hook is ideal for a firm fabric that holds shape but remains flexible enough to insert tissues comfortably.

You’ll also need a yarn needle for sewing parts together and weaving in ends. Stitch markers are optional but can help keep your rounds even.

For stuffing the eyes and shaping details, fiberfill or a small amount of yarn scraps works great.

Last but not least, grab a travel tissue packet. This will help you size your pouch accurately and test the final fit.

If you’re feeling creative, add a small zipper or button to close the opening—but it’s totally optional and not required for function.

2. Crochet Techniques and Step-by-Step Instructions

Now that you have everything ready, let’s start the step-by-step tutorial on how to crochet a Frog Tissue Pouch that’s both cute and easy to follow.

Begin with the body. Start by crocheting a rectangle using single crochet stitches in rows. This will form the base pouch that will hold the tissues.

Once the rectangle matches the size of a standard travel tissue pack, fold it in half and stitch the sides closed, leaving the top open for access.

Next, crochet two large frog eyes. Use a magic ring to begin, working in rounds to create a small white dome. Switch to green to make the outer part and shape the eye.

Add small black circles or embroider black yarn for the pupils. Lightly stuff the eyes and sew them securely on top of the pouch.

For added personality, crochet a little frog smile or cheeks using red or pink yarn and simple embroidery techniques.

If you’d like the pouch to have a closing flap, crochet a short flap and attach a button or Velcro. This step is optional, but it can help tissues stay in place.

3. Customizing Your Frog Pouch with Style

One of the best parts of learning how to crochet a Frog Tissue Pouch is how easily it can be personalized for different styles and personalities.

Try using different shades of green to give your frog a unique look. Bright lime, pastel mint, or forest green all work beautifully.

Add little extras like a tongue, crown (for a “frog prince” effect), or even a bow for a feminine touch. These small changes can really bring your frog to life.

You can also embroider names or initials on the back of the pouch to personalize it for gifts or school use.

Make a keychain loop or wrist strap by adding a crocheted cord to one corner. This transforms your pouch into a travel accessory or schoolbag charm.

If making multiple for gifts or sale, use a variety of eye expressions—winking, surprised, sleepy—to give each one its own personality.

Seasonal touches like a tiny Santa hat, bunny ears, or party hat can turn your frog into a festive character, perfect for holiday markets.

4. Tips for Assembling and Finishing

To get a polished final result, follow these helpful tips as you finish your Frog Tissue Pouch.

Make sure to block the rectangular base if needed. This will help your pouch sit flat and make assembly easier.

Use invisible or whip stitch seams to close the sides neatly. Take your time when sewing on the eyes to ensure they’re symmetrical and secure.

Test the fit by inserting the tissue pack before finalizing the top edge or adding a closure. Adjust if needed.

Don’t overstuff the eyes; a small amount of stuffing keeps them round without bulk. Overfilling may cause them to sag or tilt.

When embroidering details like the mouth or cheeks, use a fine needle and short lengths of yarn for better control.

Finally, weave in all ends securely and give your pouch a gentle steam block if needed to remove wrinkles or misalignment.
