Kristina McGowan brought to life Frog and Toad in captivating knitting versions

The Frog and Toad knitting pattern by Kristina Ingrid McGowan is a delightful project for those with an affinity for crafting and nostalgia. Inspired by the beloved children’s book series, this pattern allows knitters to create their own soft toy versions of the famous amphibious duo. With detailed instructions and a touch of whimsy, each character can be brought to life through the art of knitting. The pattern suggests using Jamieson’s of Shetland Shetland Spindrift and Kelson Goods Kelson DK yarns to achieve the perfect texture and color.

It’s designed for “advanced intermediate” knitters, as it involves techniques like working in the round on smaller double-pointed needles, short row shaping, and various increases and decreases. The end result is a charming set of toys that are sure to evoke fond memories of reading Frog and Toad’s adventures. For those interested in embarking on this nostalgic knitting journey, the pattern can be found on the Frog and Cast website.

I’ve always loved the saying that “reading is dreaming with your eyes open,” and as a child, no book filled my dreamscape more vividly than Arnold Lobel’s Frog and Toad series. Tucked under our quilts, my parents would often read the books to my twin sister and me before bed and the sense of comfort and home they provided was immense.
