This pattern includes instructions for making three different versions of an Axolotl. It’s your choice whether to go for a seated, vertical or horizontal style. Whichever way you make her pose you’re bound to fall in love with the cute smile and wiggly gills that are Alice’s famous and heartmeltingly cute characteristics. Quick and easy to work up, you’ll likely end up with a whole lotta little axolotls before too long!

Detailed, written pattern, with lots of complimentary photos to help you along the way.
