I'm about to crochet this for my girlfriend who loves to crochet, wish me luck you guys-

[@Yuki_flo]

Good luck :)

[@miintyxoink]

Goooooood luck!

[@seilyeun]

how did it come out?

[@alexyosuke3619]

The sweetest thing I have ever heard, good luck, man!!

[@frau_rose]

How did it go!

[@potatoincognito385]

for those who are wondering why u have 6 sc at the end for row 6, its because you forgot the 1sc after crocheting the last gill on each side. it would be 1sc + 9sc = 10sc

[@Darian2320]

You lost me- ima just crochet the last 4 together cause that’s easier to hide it 😂💀

[@Darian2320]

Nope nvm, maybe I should’ve kept those added stitches cause now they don’t add up to 24 stitches

[@user-qe1ci2wy5r]

THANK YOU I WAS SO CONFUSED

[@Erwinnotfound]

[@Zuzkvdj]

Even though I'm Polish and my English is average, this tutorial was recorded in such a way that I understand everything very well and the axolotl turned out very cute

[@saraaaaaaahhhh4214]

I would not have known you aren't a native speaker

[@Kaitie]

I just started crocheting about 3 weeks ago and have been working on amigurumi very recently and seriously, this is the easiest tutorial to follow that I’ve found so far. My axolotl is so cute and I’m so excited to check out more of your videos!!

[@amalhamada9298]

Please which crochet hook did you use ?

[@Kaitie]

@@amalhamada9298I made it a while ago but I think a 3.5 with weight 4 cotton aran yarn. since that’s what I normally use.

[@robynwhitney5295]

I made a couple for my boss. He has one in his tank. They came out so perfect. Love the no sew and excellent directions. Thank you Genna!

[@victoriamccollum]

My First toy attempt!..and i have to say they did turn out perfect

[@ella6545]

Thank you so much for making this pattern this axolotl is my best seller at markets.

[@BostonBorn]

I just made this for my grandson. I ended up putting three double crochet in the top of the tail before finishing the underside part of the fin. IMO it gives a cleaner look.

[@ElenaKretova204]

Genna, thanks a lot! I've just finished it. Absolutely lovely ❤❤❤

[@xx_drag0n_pupp3tss_xx]

Thank you soooo much for the tutorial!!! I’ve spent so long trying to find good tutorials for free and none of them seemed to work, until this one!
