Hi friend! Happy Friday!

Today’s Kawaii Cuddler is special

to our 3amgrace hearts. A member of
our crochet community reached out and
asked if we’d consider designing a Frog
Kawaii Cuddler.

“My mother is fighting cancer and totally

loves frogs. I was wondering if you may
have a kawaii cuddler frog pattern so I
can make her one? She starts chemo
next week as well as radiation and I
would like to make her something to
help her get through it.” -Camilla

In between projects, we went to work

on our Frog. Jolene – we dedicate our
Frog Kawaii Cuddler pattern to you. It
was an absolute honor designing it for
you. We’re praying for you!

We hope you enjoy making your very

own Frog! We can’t wait to see your
creativity. When you complete one,
please post it in our Facebook group or tag us on Instagram #3amgracedesigns. We love
seeing your work!

Have an amazing weekend! Happy Crocheting!
