Axolotl pattern

Dear crochet lover,

First of all, thank you so much for wanting to make my Axolotl, I hope that you will enjoy
recreating her as much as I loved designing her for you! I am more than happy for you to
gift or sell any items made from this pattern but would love if you could provide a link to
my Etsy shop “Pampinostore” and credit @pampino_hm as the designer.

Much love, time and effort have gone into designing this amigurumi pattern for you and
would appreciate if you do not share, reproduce or sell this pattern either in its entirety or
in parts. I always love seeing your finished creation, so please do use the hashtag
#pampinostore and @pampino_hm on Instagram!

Never hesitate to contact me through my Etsy shop should you have any questions with
regards to the pattern and I will do all I can to help you as best as I can! Keep creating
cuteness with stitches!

With love, Nazeli

PATTERN INSTRUCTIONS: This pattern is written using American terminology and is

materials described, she will be 19-20cm tall from the top of her ears to the base of her
body.

SKILL LEVEL: easy

Materials.

1. Basic Yarns –Gazzal Baby cotton, 50g/ 165m, (60% cotton, 40%acrylic) green,
milk, pink
2. Yarn flowers – Alize Angora yellow, green, pink-1.5mm hook
3. Crochet hook (2.5 mm )
4. Fibrefill / toy stuffing
5. Stitch markers, darning and embroidery needles
6. eyes 6mm

ABBREVATIONS for crochetting: ch = chain | dc = double crochet | dc-inc = double

ABBREVATIONS for knitting: Co=cast on, K= knit, P-purl, 2Ktog= knit 2 sts together,
RS= right side, WS= wrong side, YO= yarn over, …Gauge- 5row=2cm

A VERY QUICK GUIDE TO THE CROCHET STITCHES USED IN THIS PATTERN:

1. Chain (ch): Insert hook, yarn over, pull loop through loop on hook.

2. Double crochet (dc): Yarn over, insert hook, yarn over, pull loop through stitch (there
should be 3 loops on hook), yarn over, pull loop through both loops left on hook (there
should be 2 loops left on hook), yarn over, pull loop through remaining loop on hook.

3. Double crochet increase (dc-inc): Work two double crochets into the same stitch. 4.
Decrease (dec): I prefer to use the “invisible” decrease. For this, insert hook into front
loop of first stitch (from the front and under). Repeat into front loop of next stitch. Yarn
over, pull loop through 2 loops on hook, yarn over and pull loop through final 2 loops
on hook.

2
5. Half double crochet (hdc): Yarn over, insert hook, yarn over, pull loop through stitch
(there should be 3 loops on hook), yarn over, pull loop through all three loops on the
hook.

6. Half double crochet increase (hdc-inc): Work two half double crochets into the same
stitch.

7. Increase (inc): Work two single crochets into the same stitch.

8. Skip (sk): Skip the next stitch, or the number of stitches specificed in the pattern. 9.
Magic ring: Wrap yarn around fingers to form a loop. Insert hook through middle of
loop. Pull working end of yarn through ring and chain the required number of stitches
through. Pull the yarn ends to close the loop.

10. Single crochet (sc): Insert hook, yarn over, pull loop through stitch (there should
be 2 loops on hook), yarn over, pull loop through both loops on hook.

11. Slip stitch (sl): Insert hook, yarn over, pull loop through stitch and loop on hook.
