This smiley-faced salamander has become incredibly popular with kids. (“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!
