    No-Sew Axolotl Pattern - Accurate and Life-Size!

    By Suniplush
    —————————————————————————————

    Hi crocheter! I hope you find this pattern fun to create and easy to
    understand. If you have any issues, please contact me! Leaving a review
    would help my business a lot, and I’d love to see your axolotl!

    This pattern is made and sold by Suniplush. You may not copy, alter,
    publish or distribute this pattern anywhere. Feel free to sell finished
    products made using this pattern, but please credit Suniplush as the
    designer. Thank you!
    Notes (important!)
    - This pattern is worked in continuous rounds. I use a stitch marker into the last
    stitch of every round.
    - Hook size, tension, and yarn can lead to slightly different measurements for the
    final result.
    - To color change, I like to change colors in the previous stitch. If you see “before
    finishing 4th Sc pull Color2 through” that’s what I’m referring to.
    - Due to tension and yarn type, your gills, arms and legs may be aligned slightly
    off to the pattern. Feel free to adjust which stitch you add the gills, arms and
    legs into!
    - If you have any questions at all, feel free to message me on Instagram!

    Dorsal Crest:
    Color1
    Insert hook with yarn around the back towards the head. It should be around the 3rd row
    after the gills. Leave a long tail in the slipknot. Slst5 down the back (including the 1st),
    Sc6, Hdc6, Dc until the end of the tail (around 10 Dcs). Continue Dcs on the underside of
    the tail (see note, around 6 Dcs), Hdc6, Sc2, Slst2

    Note: When crocheting in the tip of the tail, there won’t be clear stitches like on top of the
    body. Insert your hook into any stitch you can find on the tip of the tail, and continue onto
    the underside of the tail. Make sure you’re checking to see that the dorsal crest is
    relatively aligned with the middle of the belly.

    FO and leave a long tail. Weave the tail over to the body somewhere closer to the other
    tail from the slipknot, then weave that tail into the same stitch so you can tie them tightly
    together.

    Where to insert slipknot 5 slsts down the back Last slst on the underside
