EDITS: At 11:30 I say "21 stitches total", but it should be 28 stitches total. I'm so sorry for the mistake!

I ordered a custom axolotl a few months ago and have wanted to make one after making almost every plushie on your yt. Thank you so much! ㅋㅋ

[@findingteresa8524]

I just bought this pattern even though I’ve watched the video. I bought 2 of your patterns. I followed along and made the turtle with you. You are the first person I’ve found that I can easily follow. I want the printed patterns just in case I can’t access KZbin.

[@themaryjay]

Aww thank you so much for supporting me and buying my patterns! It really means alot and I'm so glad you find my tutorials easy to follow :) Thanks for following along!

[@Move_Itz]

This was super helpful!! I couldn’t find a good crochet axolotl pattern that I liked but this.. just wow!!

[@SabrinaAllisonRodrigo]

Guys don’t forget to go buy her axlotl pattern so you can support her!!! She totally deserves it!💕💕💕

[@SabrinaAllisonRodrigo]

Also I have found that buying the pdf pattern then coming to the videos when your confused is really helpful!☺️☺️☺️

[@themaryjay]

Aww you're the sweetest!

[@jollibee...]

[@jennifermatera9946]

This video was amazing although I have been crocheting for almost 3years it is always nice to have someone remind me on wear to sew something or what stitch I should do

[@themaryjay]

Aw I'm really glad you find the reminders helpful! I always worry it gets to be too much. Thank you for following along with my tutorial :)

[@yananlu3937]

[@TimeToTossTheDiceOfTime]

If i were to write this down and use it in my crocheting endevors (i wont give it out or sell it, of course,) would that be alright? I occasionally sell plushes to friends and family, and i would love to use this pattern.

[@peixeess]

My vote vent to the bat pattern as I prefer more realistic axolotls and have seen less bat turorials but how could anyone ever resist this? I need to make one someday, thanks!

18:24 when you said to make sure it isn’t inside out and have the string on the inside…do we have to flip it and continue if it’s on the outside? I’m a little confused

[@kyxsli9733]

Do you have any tips on how to see the stitches?? I dont want to have to use sitchmarkers after every stitch 😭😭😭

[@SandraJane-bd8im]

I've completed it in plush yarn with a 6mm hook and although the gills are thick and hold their shape when sewn on they're flopping backwards and can't seem to get them to stand straight like yours, what am I doing wrong?

[@galacticcatgaming]

How many yards of yarn do you estimate that the body nugget takes? Thanks a ton

[@summer.2009.8]

can u pleaseeeee make a video on the dinosaur pattern 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

If any of you can’t to a magic circle, d0 a slip knot and ch 4 and put in your hook in the first ch and use it like the magic ring

Can I sell them on Etsy with credit?

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

[@CatfishWingsOfFire]

Kinda makes me sad that I bought the pattern and now there's a video on it 💀🙃

[@themaryjay]

Aww I'm sorry! I originally was very resistant to releasing this tutorial because of this very reason. But was convinced to after talking to other people and seeing other crochet pattern writers do both. I really wanted it to be accessible to more people and some view a no-ad quick-to-read written crochet pattern as different than a slower video tutorial with ads, although they do make the same plushie. I'm sorry that you would have preferred the video tutorial and that it wasn't made available to you sooner, but I hope having the written pattern still benefits you and makes making the plushie easier for you in some way!

[@TheAugustHasFallen]

I’m totally fine that I got my pattern first because I got to support her amazing shop ❤

[@CatfishWingsOfFire]

@themaryjay nah its alright! I appreciate your apology hehe

[@SabrinaAllisonRodrigo]

Same, but I love supporting her small business

​@themaryjay thankyou so much for releasing this pattern I made my own axolotl and I love it so much! Have a wonderful day.😊

How big is it after its done? Thanks

[@amandawailalkhalaf4853]

hi can u do one with looped yarn i have been looking for a tt for a plushie but with looped yarn ty

[@stephanierandell9450]

I've encountered a problem after round 31 you say to do a (SC, Dec) until you have 4 stitches left, while I have 14 stitches left from round 31 that method won't work as it leaves me one stitch short for the last decrease

[@themaryjay]

Hi! In this part of the pattern, the rounds aren’t used anymore. So it would essentially just be repeating (sc, dec) ten times and then fasten off! I hope this helps!
