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