Finished Size: 49cm (19 inches) excluding tail! This smiley-faced salamander has become incredibly popular with kids, but Id never heard of one until the requests started pouring in for a pattern. (Aristotle rhymes with “axolotl – if youre having trouble pronouncing it!). Aristotle looks great in all colors, just like a real axolotl, but hes generously sized to fit under your arm for lots of hugs. He is a quick easy pattern too!
