    ---- About the Pattern ----
    The Baby Axolotl is a no-sew amigurumi pattern that features this adorable underwater creature! It is a quick and easy project, worked in one piece. This pocket sized plush can also be crocheted with different yarn weights and fibers to create different looks, such as super bulky blanket or chenille yarn for a plush, velvety look or medium weight yarn in cotton or acrylic for a smaller keychain size.
    This axolotl doll is the perfect birthday gift or Christmas holiday gift for animal lovers. It’s also suitable as a portable “pocket pal” toy for kids to carry along with them as a therapy aid or fidget.
    The PDF pattern includes in-line progress photos as part of a detailed photo tutorial to help guide you through the doll-making process.

    I’ve just learned to crochet and I was able to make this little guy by following your clear directions. Really appreciate how you have the pattern written on the screen while you’re doing it, made it easier for me to remember what I was working on. I had come across some of the other patterns you have made, but this is the first one I’ve done, and I’ll be back for more. The little guy I made this for (birthday present) thought it was the best, so huge win for me!

      Thank you so much! I got it taken down last month, but it looks like it got reinstated again (so the author must've tried to re-publish it on Amazon)! I'm so upset. I don't get any financial compensation, but I want to make sure it's removed because it's unfair for me as the designer to have my work stolen. :'(

But I haven’t added in my newest no sew patterns this year to a bundle yet. I plan to do that when I’ve accumulated enough new patterns to make a bundle!

    I’m trying to make the super bulky one and I’m at the point where I have to do the gills.
    In the beginning of the video I can see that the bulky one has both of the colours on the gills. Can you please explain how did you do that part? (My guess is, that is the same process like the small one just with the body colour and plus one more row sc around with the dark pink colour maybe?)Thank you in advance! ❤

    • @SweetSofties
      @SweetSofties  2 місяці тому

      Hi! Are you referring to the Mama Axolotl pattern? That one is a separate design and has two colors for the gills (the free axolotl pattern shown in this video only has one color for the gills). If you're interested in the other pattern, you can find it here: payhip.com/b/kvOyl
      Please note that the bigger axolotl pattern is also no-sew but it's a written pattern (with photo references) only, not a video tutorial.
      Hope this helps!!
