Free axl axolotl crochet pattern

Hello, after a short break I came to you with a free axolotl crochet pattern. I hope you missed me. Because I wanted to surprise you today with your favorite axolotl crochet amigurumi. As always, it is a very easy crochet axolotl pattern. The body and tail are one piece. We make and assemble the head and gills separately. That’s it. If you make it with the specified yarns, the crochet axolotl will be 5.12 inches high. Our designer places a small ball inside the body. But it’s not an important detail, you can complete it with stuffing. Now let’s take a look at the free axolotl crochet pattern step by step.
