The Pocket Axolotl is a no-sew amigurumi pattern that features this adorable underwater creature! There are two sizes available for you to make a big mommy or adult axolotl, and a small baby axolotl. Both patterns are worked in one piece and are quick and easy to crochet. This design 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.
