About this pattern

The axolotl has a permanent smile and frilly gills on both sides, which makes it a fun challenge for color changes. Rose and pink sit on mint with black for the eyes. At 50 × 31 squares it is a wide, shorter piece, about 38 × 23 in in worsted yarn. Good as a lap blanket, a crib-side throw or a gift for an axolotl fan.
