Does this pattern also work with a bobble stitch instead of a puff stitch for the arms?

[@SweetSofties]

@ yes you can totally do that instead!

[@SophiaPan-nf8es]

Ok, thank you!

[@Frank-The-44th]

I just made this cute little guy in a few hours and I am in love oh my goodness, I love your videos they are so easy to follow (even for a beginner like me) and everything is always so gosh darn cute!!! ❤❤

[@SweetSofties]

So happy to hear it! Thanks for the amazing feedback!

[@gigi_felice]

This axolotl turned out so cute! Very easy to follow! Thank you for this tutorial!

[@SweetSofties]

Yay so happy to hear that! Thank you!!

[@Zein448-r7i]

I'm working on mine right as we speak😀😀

[@moma7252]

I’ve just learned to crochet and I was able to make this little guy by following your clear directions. Really appreciate how you have the pattern written on the screen while you’re doing it, made it easier for me to remember what I was working on. I had come across some of the other patterns you have made, but this is the first one I’ve done, and I’ll be back for more. The little guy I made this for (birthday present) thought it was the best, so huge win for me!

[@SweetSofties]

Thanks for the positive feedback, really appreciate it! And great job making this little guy!

[@IsabellaDiaz-ox1cr]

Mini Amigurumi: An Easy-to-Use Crochet Book with Lots of Cute Patterns - just an FYI a lot of your patterns are in this book

[@Adrian-qk9jh]

I found the book on Amazon and I don't see any of her patterns? Are you insinuating the book took her ideas or the other way around The book I found only has 10 patterns

[@SweetSofties]

Oh my goodness. They stole my patterns and images! Thank you for alerting me about this. It makes me so sad that people would do this...

[@SweetSofties]

They are actually all my patterns on the cover. Each design is made by me and those are my exact images from my blog.

[@DocBree13]

@@SweetSoftiesoh no! I hope you can get it taken down and get financial compensation 😡 😢

[@SweetSofties]

Thank you so much! I got it taken down last month, but it looks like it got reinstated again (so the author must've tried to re-publish it on Amazon)! I'm so upset. I don't get any financial compensation, but I want to make sure it's removed because it's unfair for me as the designer to have my work stolen. :'(

[@fatinazira5801]

TQSM for this beautiful tutorial. I've already made 1 for my baby and it turns out so cute although I'm a beginner❤

[@miastones9418]

Hi Sweet Softies! I was wondering if it is possible to make a bobble stitch while still crocheting in the round instead of doing so after for the limbs?

[@HangOutWithNikki]

just finished! thank you

[@SweetSofties]

Great job!

[@oodlesacaboodles]

Awwww, how cute!!!

[@SweetSofties]

Wow that's awesome to hear! I'll look out for it!!

[@MsMeliza85]

I just got to get my box from Amazon and I tried so hard to crochet it but now that this tutorial worked I am now not a beggiener

[@valorieanderson9325]

Would you ever put all you pocket amigurumi in to a ebook so i don't have to buy each one individually?

[@SweetSofties]

I do have a couple pattern bundles/ebooks, one for my Pocket Plush collection and one for some of my no-sew amigurumi patterns! Both are in my Payhip store (see description for the link). But I haven’t added in my newest no sew patterns this year to a bundle yet. I plan to do that when I’ve accumulated enough new patterns to make a bundle!

[@Vivian.Jeanne]

using bubble stitch for the arms and leg would be so much easier

[@auhuynh1146]

thank you very much

[@a.w.s.9227]

I just bought the pattern but now it says I need google play books or a similar app to open, I hope it opens! Because my phone is so full I can't fit any more apps lol. Can't wait to make this big fluffy axolotl 😊❤🎉

[@SweetSofties]

Thank you for supporting me as a pattern designer! Sorry to hear you need an app to open; on my phone, I can open PDFs on my browser (Chrome)...not sure if you're able to try that? Anyways, if you send it to yourself via email, you can probably open the PDF preview on your email app!

[@sherlockmom007]

Great video. Do you have the link for the safety eye tool?

[@SweetSofties]

I'll be sharing about the safety eyes tool when it comes out. It's currently in production. If you join my mailing list, you'll be one of the first to hear about it! Here's the sign-up link: view.flodesk.com/pages/638d7d3b08af91d6ddfdfa2a

[@Tocaboba-a]

thank you so much for the tutorial! hope you make an axolotl plushie with no safety eyes for the people here that dont have safety eyes❤️

[@SweetSofties]

You can embroider eyes too!

[@kiraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

When I weave in the yarn at the end of a step, it isn't "fixed". My gails aren't tight enough... maybe it would be better to sew, I have no idea how I could fix this..

[@UR_FAV_ISABELLA719]

veery cute but impossible to make rnd 10 onwards

[@morgannewood]

What does it mean if the polyfill is coming out when I stitch into the body, like when you do the arms/legs and frills/tail. Maybe too much or not enough filling? I am just learning, so I know my tension isn’t consistent and I need to use a smaller hook size next time. Could it just be my stitches are too loose?

[@SweetSofties]

If stuffing is coming out it may mean that your stitches are too loose; you can go down a hook size or two to help you crochet tighter! Also, I find that when I use a yarn needle to do sewing, I sometimes pull out a little bit of stuffing by accident too. That's just unforutnately what sometimes happens when you sew. I just try to poke the stuffing back into the body.

[@morgannewood]

@@SweetSofties yup, I used a smaller hook and it looks much better. Thank you so much for posting this video, our Axolotls passed away, so I’m making one for each of my stepdaughters. The only thing I’m still struggling with is the lil tail frills. I’m not sure what loops to go under for the row of single crochet. Does it matter or should they go somewhere specific?

[@keilaloran2293]

Is their a link on how to make the mama one with more detail

[@SweetSofties]

Here's the bigger axolotl pattern! www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/pocket-axolotl-2-sizes

[@evacskaa9]

I’m trying to make the super bulky one and I’m at the point where I have to do the gills. In the beginning of the video I can see that the bulky one has both of the colours on the gills. Can you please explain how did you do that part? (My guess is, that is the same process like the small one just with the body colour and plus one more row sc around with the dark pink colour maybe?)Thank you in advance! ❤

[@SweetSofties]

Hi! Are you referring to the Mama Axolotl pattern? That one is a separate design and has two colors for the gills (the free axolotl pattern shown in this video only has one color for the gills). If you're interested in the other pattern, you can find it here: payhip.com/b/kvOyl Please note that the bigger axolotl pattern is also no-sew but it's a written pattern (with photo references) only, not a video tutorial. Hope this helps!!

[@anthonybeazley6054]

Hey can I sell these at markets? I will give you credit. These are so market worthy ❤😊😅

[@SweetSofties]

Yes, just credit by name and site, such as: "Pattern design by Sweet Softies, www.sweetsofties.com" :)

[@oanamateescu7]

What size is the baby axolotl? I suppose 13 cm is the big one.

[@SweetSofties]

Are you talking about the one made with the worsted weight yarn? The worsted weight yarn is 3.5 inches and the plush yarn one is 5 inches! Both are the same pattern, just different yarn weights/types. :)

[@rachelcurtis608]

Hey , just want to let you know, in your description where you say what FLO means you said that it means back loops. Might just confuse someone whos new 😊
