Hello, it's Thursday and this week I'm going to show you how to make an adorable axolotl plushie! You set me this challenge, so thank you to everyone who voted in the Knot My Idea poll! A second chance poll has already been launched for my patrons so subscribe to see what's picked.
Embarrassingly, after posting this video two typos were identified in this pattern:
R12 of the head should read 10sc, not 9sc, and
R19 should read: 2[inc, sc], 6[dec, sc], 4[inc, sc]
