  Axolotls are so cute, so it only makes sense that they're popular right now. Since they're endangered and difficult to keep, it's illegal or impractical to keep them in a lot of places, so we'll have to make do with a crochet plushie version! There's lots of different morphs out there for inspiration, or you can go nuts with whatever colour you want! Also try out my  free capybara version  of this cute, round toy! An axolotl is also included in my salamander, newt, and lizard pattern pack on Etsy.

Frogs are so cool! The way they grow from a tadpole into a terrestrial animal is amazing. There's lots of different frogs, so look into the ones native to your area!

This little pattern can be altered to create any kind of salamander, newt, or lizard you'd like! I chose to make a rough skinned newt stuffed toy, as they're my favourite native one! The difference between a salamander and a newt is that salamanders live on land except for breeding, and newts live in the water most of their lives!
