EDIT: R12 of the head should read 10sc, not 9sc Edit 2: Two typos...that's embarrassing! R19 should read: 2[inc, sc], 6[dec, sc], 4[inc, sc] Axolotl was voted by you as part of the "Knot My Idea" series, but I have launched a second chance draw for the other options on my Patreon. You'll be finding out the winner in a couple of weeks!
Oh my gosh. My little sister has Ben wishing an axolotl plush for her birthday and I’ve been looking everywhere for a good and cute free patern! Edit: She loves it!
Welp I teared up again, because this is so good and wholesome! One of the best axolotl renditions I've seen around!! The mouth seems to be a general problem for people and you have a great solution! Also, how cool is it that it's the same as the First Frog?!?! I do love cyclicity in a story, bonus points for real life! The detailing on the fronds and toes is really On Point, it looks both realistic and cute, which makes me SO happy!! Thanxalotl for sharing this with the world 😭😭😭😭😭
Nearly finished mine and it looks so cute. Absolutely love your design. I have 4 real axolotls so it made sense to crochet one. Thanks for the awesome video
Adorable!! My nephew just asked me if I could make one of these...never thought I would find a video tutorial!! This is great!! I will be watching again for sure 😁 Thank you for the video!!
I can't believe that I missed this video!!! grrrrr! I know a little girl of whom is currently fascinated by Axolotl. I smell a gift coming her way :))) Thank you for designing this & sharing it with all of us xxx
Thanks so much for making this!! I'm pretty new to crochet - I only knew how to make rectangles - but I wanted to crochet axolotl for my friends for Christmas. Thanks to the well-written directions, I'm doing 4 plushes, and I'm sure to have the best presents in the friend group
I've been looking for a good axolotl pattern for a while now. Saw this one and my jaw dropped. After finishing my current project, I will definitely work on this one. You are so talented and charismatic- definitely deserve so many more subscribers! :))
Thanks for not overcomplicating this pattern which is too cute! This could have been a two hour video for some but you're short and precise and I won't get impatient when I follow you. I'm happy I found you and am now a subscriber.
I made a little purple axolotl friend. I used some of that multi-colored yarn for the fronds and tail to give it a colorful, psychedelic look 🥰💜💚💙💗 Needless to say, I love the funky little dude
Almost done with mine and OMG HES SO CUUUUTE. Definitely, for anyone else out here attempting this, leave a long tail for your fronds. It really does help in hiding them :)
I love love love this pattern. Your attention to detail is the best by far that I have found during my 18:10 research of the axolotl. Thanks so much for your time.
This is the best pattern I have ever seen, (yours always are so realistic) can’t wait to try it. Going on a long flight, perfect to keep me occupied for 5 hours!
Wow, he's so cute! I love how you have bits from a lot of your different creatures in this one. The first creature I made of yours was your frog, so it's nice to see it again!
Hi just finished making your little rainbow snake and a yellow and orange axylotl. Absolutely chuffed with them. Can't wait to give them to their new owner. My 6 yr old grandson Love following your instructions Thanks so much for your great work 😃
The flat on the bottom glass beads are frequently in the floral section for both live floral arrangement and fake flower arranging. And they're usually pretty cheap at most craft and hobby stores. At least here in the US
YAY! You definitely succeed in this voted apology, how Gorgeous he is!!!🥰 Thank you for being so in touch with yours viewers this is really Neat!💙💙💙🐚🐚🐚 Can't wait to see whats next!!!!!
Loved the pattern and finished product! Took me a few tries but love it! Also, the yarn does do squeaky noises with the back post stitches, it’s so funny and cute! =]
They are so cute my kids ages 23 and 25 both want one of these so I’m going to have a go thank you in advance😀😀 I know not children anymore but still my kids no matter how old they are
New subscriber. Found you looking for an axolotl pattern. The frog is also very cute. Sadly I couldn’t follow you. Very fast and couldn’t see what you were doing. I very much appreciate the side bar with the instructions. I’ll be checking out your other creations also. Thank you for the tutorials
i sat through most of this pattern so so sad that i didnt have pink to make a little bean, but i realized as you were putting the legs on, I can use blue and orange to make a mudkip!!
I'm pretty new to crochet amigurumi but I love it so much! Your videos, patterns, and style are some of the cutest I've seen, could you possibly do a ferret? I've looked everywhere online but haven't found a style I like and I think yours would be perfect!
I found your channel yesterday via this pattern. Your are so talented. I absolutely love amigurumi. Congratulations on 1 year on YT! You quickly won a new subscriber 👋🙌 If you're looking for video ideas.... I love the idea of putting the suggestions in a bucket or hat and drawing them out randomly. I'd also love a series on how to design ones own amigurumi patterns. I think that could be super fun.
Hi! I basically do that for "Knot My Idea". All the ideas from the comments go into a bucket, and I pull out 5 and let you guys vote on which one you want to see 🙂 I totally agree on the designing thing - watch this space 😁
Okay, this is the cutest crochet axolotl ever. Like you said, they're everywhere these days, but it was totally worth it for you to design another one. Love the gills (what you call fronds) and the little feetsies! One way you could make the mouth stay in is to sew a mouth-coloured yarn around a stitch on either side of the centre (between R1&2), from the inside, and loop the ends around the eye stalks before putting the caps on. I reckon that would allow you to adjust the pulling-in of the mouth _and_ the eyes, and then tie the ends together when you have the look you want. (I did this on a tiny nug I made for a Dragon Age fan.) Sad side note: From 11:11 to 19:30, the music sounds like tinnitus and it made my brain hurt so I had to mute the audio. Please avoid that song in future videos... :/
Thanks for this cutie! Im not a big fan of axolotls, they are cute, but meh. But this one. Short and stubby and just the cutest! :D Keep on with your thing, keep on the kmi and dont ever quit your puns :D
Me: I feel good creating my own patterns and following others on here. Also me: 0-0 Oh man... I've still got so much to learn. Lol, I love your content so much. New Subby here! :3
OMG! Thank you so much! I usually just crochet blankets and backpacks, but I wanted to make my sister something special for her birthday which is coming up on the 28th. This pattern gave me a mental breakdown, but it came out so freaking cute!!! She has an obsession with Axolotls and this was, in my opinion, the best looking pattern on RU-vid. My favorite part are the feet!!! So adorable!!! Thanks again!!
@@ComplicatedKnotsI'm struggling reading the pattern ..what does 2(3(inc)),9 sc mean.....6 (2 sc inc)......I just need to know if I'm on the right track tks
Hi! I'm a new subscriber and i love your creations. I feel so lucky to have found your channel, i just got into crocheting and your patterns have been a huge help, thank you for teaching me how to make an adorable axolotl of my own
In R19, I'm having a hard time with the count. Following the instructions, I am using only 29 of the 30 sc created in the previous round, so I have 1 stitch left over unworked at the end of the R19 instructions. [inc, sc, inc] = uses 3 sts, [6x dec,sc] = uses 18 sts (total 21), [4x inc,sc] = uses 8 sts (total 29). Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi, I'm sorry, two typos in the same pattern is a lot, even for me. This one was an early mistake, so it actually impacted how the whole row was typed. The row should read: 2[inc, sc], 6[dec, sc], 4[inc, sc].
Okay i saw in a comment for R16 you need to do 10sc on the last row instead of 9sc, and the creater agreed but when i do that i come up with 41 instead of 42. And just to make sure i had 42 rows in R15. So what am i doing wrong?? Is it rhe last 10sc??
I used to have a pet axolotl because I was fascinated by them and he was the sweetest thing in the world. Now I have been teaching myself to crochet using online vids like this and various pattern books I have stumbled across this and must for sure give this a go! How do you teach yourself to make up patterns? I would love to be able to get good enough to just practice and do designs of things you wouldn't normally see :D
Its all just practise past a certain point. Most things are a series of balls and tubes! You may be interested in next week's video though, I'm doing my best to create the ultimate beginner guide :)
@@ComplicatedKnots Oh that would be fantastic for learner like me! Still trying to learn all those little tips and tricks Edit; been watching through your older vids and found you have done a resizing tutorial so scratch that last comment! :)
My son is big into these (minecraft player) and his face lit up when he saw the progress on it i made! He even requested that I make him a bucket for it to go into!
@ComplicatedKnots I need help, with which part of the face is the right bit. The back part of the body isn't right. I put the face on where the backposts for the antenna thing attach to are on either side of the eyes. This ended up making the body side ways😢
Are the eyes necessary to help keep the shape of the head? I'm hoping to crochet my own but these plastic ones look like they may add to the flatness of the side of the head
Love this little guy, however I am having issues with row 6. No matter how I do it I don't end up with 30 stitches... HELP I am making this for my grandson.
Your channel is amazing, and this guy is so cute! I'm finished with the body on mine and adding the fronds now. I'm not sure how to "repeat the process" on the second side. Where do you start and which direction does it face in order to get the fronds symmetrical with the first side and curling the same way? Does the second one more or less face backwards compared to the first?
Hi, I was wondering if I purchased your pattern, if I was to create some axolotls and sell them to raise funds for a few axolotl rescue groups, if that would be okay? I would have no profits as it will all be donated to blossomed lotls and Melbourne axolotls
Hi! Thanks for asking. You can sell anything you make from my patterns, just credit me as the designer where appropriate :) goodluck with rescuing the axolotls!
@@ComplicatedKnots thank you! They are critically endangered in the wild so all we really have are pet axolotls. Blossomed lotls and Melbourne lotls are both a breeder and a rescue.
hey! I'm really confused on row 6 (for the head bit). The pattern from my point of view is a bit weird could you please explain it in a bit more detail? I just don't get what is means by 2[3[inc], 9 sc if you could get back as soon as you can that would be awesome!! :)
Hi I am from Germany and I really like you're Axelotl but I can't understand your written pattern please help so I can understand it my English is good but I have not read a pattern in forever😊 thank you
Question! When you're doing the other side of the frills, do you turn him with his face away from you and work from the bottom up or keep him facing you and work from the top to the bottom? Also when you do the loopy bits do you start at the top of the frill and work towards the bottom?
For round 2, starting round 3. So right at the color change. Is that first single crochet after the last increase in round 2 the first stitch for round 3? So we crochet 11 in the main color?
