Alice the Axolotl

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. When made with light worsted weight (DK/8 ply) yarn and a 3 mm hook (plus 2 ply crochet thread and a 1.75 mm hook for the gill frills), seated Alice measures approx. 5" (12 cm) tall and the vertical/horizontal axolotls are approx. 5 1/2" (14 cm) tall/long. Recommended safety eye size 9 mm. This pattern is written in American crochet terminology and includes a handy stitch conversion chart so you can translate to British crochet terms instead should you wish to.
