What could be cuter than a tiny pink amphibian? A knit stuffie version of course!

Meet Rosie the Axolotl! Inspired by crocheted amigurumi, I wanted to create a stuffed toy that combines soft texture with simplistic techniques for beginners. Made with soft and squishy blanket yarn, the pattern includes written instructions and a few WIP photos.
