Having taken social media platforms such as TikTok and Instagram by storm, the frog-themed subculture has since become a popular element in apparel designs. In this bizarre frog-themed category, handmade items, especially crochet frog hats, are one of the most widely sought-after trends. These include beanies, bucket hats, berets, and caps, among others.
This trend is especially prevalent among Generation Z, which makes sense given that Pepe the Frog and Kermit sipping tea are popular frog memes. Keroppi, a Sanrio character, plays a significant role in the kawaii culture of Japan’s older generation, which has also embraced this trend.
