Kero Kero Keroppi is a cute frog cartoon by Sanrio and I used to have a classmate who loves Keroppi so much that she collects everything from stationery, pouch, mug to towels.
This amigurumi is an interesting one to crochet as the head is made from 2 parts(base for the eyes) and then joined together before making the head. For this pattern, I would recommend the reader to have intermediate crochet skills and prior knowledge of crocheting 2 parts together.
Completed Keroppi is about 9cm tall.
