Frog Eyed Bug - Sue Hanson © 2005The critter’s body ring is unusual in that it’s made entirely from unflipped stitches (like the 2nd side of a split ring) with rings thrown off for the eyes that carry beads on the core thread. Two types of joins are usedShuttle only loaded with 2 medium sized seed beads for eyes 1” picot gauge used vertically Body part 1 Start with short tail & do not flip stitchesR: 3 vsp 3 leave RWRight eye reverse order of ds (2,1)RoSR: 3 + (vsp SR) 9 <DB> 9 vsp 3 clr RWBody part 2 do not flip stitches continue with 3 + (last R) 8 --- 1 --- 1 --- 1 --- 18 --- 1 --- 1 --- 1 --- 8 vsp 2 leave RWLeft eye reverse order of ds (2,1)RoSR: 3 + (vsp SR) 9 <DB> 9 vsp 3 clr RWBody Part 3 do not flip stitches Continue with 3 + vsp (last R) 3 clr with the tail left at start NOT the shuttle thread. Cut shuttle thread to 1” tail
FinishingPut a blob of glue at the back of the work, between eyes where threads exit the ring. Allow to dryCut the shuttle thread not the starting tail (or the ring will open)Also dab glue at the base of each long picot & allow to dry. Cut these close to ring at one side of each picot (see sketch)Make an overhand knot at knee level for each leg. Trim legs evenLegs require stiffening to fix in place
