BABY AXOLOTL PATTERN – Assembly
Tip: Reinforce the pieces (e.g. gills, limbs) by sewing with a similar shade sewing thread to secure them in
place and make them stick to the body

1. Sew the top side of the gill (the one where you made
an hdc between rounds 4 & 5 then place the bottom
end of the gill (the one with only 3 chains) between
rounds 7&8. Sew the length of the gills to the main
body securely with thread or using the yarn tails.

2. Sew the mouth on the same round where you

inserted the eyes.

3. Sew the front legs directly under the eyes

between rounds 9 & 10. Sew the lower set feet
on the base of the body between rounds 14 & 15
below the front legs.

4. Sew the tail at the base of the back between rounds

13 & 14. Position it in a way your axolotl can stand/lean
on its own

5. And you're done! Add a keychain to bring it

wherever you go.
