Axolotl amigurumi Free Crochet Pattern. (Axolotl Plushi Crochet Pattern)

Crochet Axolotl free pattern. Crochet this adorable Axolotl with this easy written free crochet pattern 

Axolotl crochet pattern free

This Axolotl crochet pattern was originally not intended to be a pattern.  it was a customer request for a little boy. who loves the Axolotl in Minecraft! and wanted one. In the chosen colors of purple and yellow and they wanted it a BiG Axolotl. So I made this pattern in both a chunky blanket velvet yarn to make a plush Axolotl and I’ve made in Double knit and a smaller hook to make a small Axolotl. Same crochet pattern just different hooks and yarn

Axolotl Plush cuddly toy Free Crochet Pattern 

TO be honest I made posted it and forgot all about it until all of a sudden I was inundated with requests for the pattern after it was posted online by the customer, and I was inundated with requests to write up the Axolotl Crochet Pattern. 
Prior to this request, I had never heard of an Axolotl but believe me when I say they are the cutest little things EVER.
 I am obsessed with Axolotl on Tiktok! 
They are extremely rare and very specific requirements and take a LOT of care. 
So this is why the mom had thought a crocheted axolotl would suffice until the little boy is a little older and more able to provide the specialist care the axolotls require. 

SO if ANY mistakes I apologize as it was a written pattern as I made it so others could enjoy it too. 

Materials you will need to crochet the Axolotol 

  1. For the LARGE axolotl. I used Mariners Chunky Yarn 
  2. (Alternative Chunky Blanket Yarns Available ) here and a 6.500 mm hook. 
  3. Fibre Toy stuffing - BUY stuffing here 
  4. saftey eyes 

Note: I could have gone bigger with the hook but I'm a loose crocheter so I wanted to ensure there were no holes in the axolotl. 

I attatched the arms and legs as i went, place the legs equally apart then when adding the ARMS make sure you line up the arms to the legs, you may need to shift a few stitches over, to line them up but sew through ALL the stitches of the arms and bosy to seamlessly attatch 

PLEASE use a stitch marker, especially at the body and head.

Newborn Baby Crochet Hat Pattern Perfect Crochet Hat for Donating to Hospitals

This newborn crochet hat is perfect for babies just coming out of the hospital or making a few baby hats in varying colors and donating them to your local hospital.  Newborn Babies can lose heat really quickly straight after birth so they require warm hats immediately to help keep them warm and cozy.  If they lose heat too quickly after being born they can become quite unwell.  Please check with your local maternity unit on what colors they may need, as some units run a traffic light system and are a fantastic visual aid for the midwives to easily identify babies that may need a little more help and attention in the first few hours.  RED -   red hats are used for babies who are more at risk and require more regular observations.  AMBER hats - require just a little bit more attention.  GREEN Hats - lower risk babies and only require routine observations as they are healthy and a good weight.  (Please check with the labor Delivery suite midwives if donations are being taken at this tim
