You’ve seen Axolotls in Minecraft and in your neighbor’s fish tank – now you can have one for yourself to cuddle with!  This is a quick knit toy to add to your plushy collection.  The Axolotl sits 6 inches high from the bottom to the top of the gills and 9 inches wide from gill to gill.   Axel is knit in the round using double pointed needles and is worked up from the bottom.  Make Axel up today and cuddle later!  Skill level is intermediate.  Click here to purchase the pattern.  

When I saw this glow in the dark yarn from Lionbrand (DIY Glow), I was inspired!  Then when my son saw it - he loved it!  It charges up super fast and glows like crazy.  We sat down and designed a sweater together that he loves!  Check out the pattern on my patterns page.  Child sized from 6 to 12.

Just a couple of quick edits have been made to the Crewmate pattern.

• Clarified the instructions on knitting the backpack (new pictures, too!)
• Added yarn weight and needle sizes for our friends in the UK and Europe

​Thank you so much for all of your support!  Really appreciate all the new customers!

First, you can make a hat for your Among Us Crewmate (see below).  Now you can knit one for yourself!!  This hat is knit flat with an intarsia visor.  There is a optional leaf decoration you can also put on top.  It's a fun way to keep warm in the winter representing your favorite video game!

Hot off the needles!  You have the Crewmate - now you need a hat!  This knitting pattern includes 5 of the most popular hats in the game.  Santa hat, Party hat, Sticky Note, Flower and Cherry are all included.  Knit them all!  When you change your hat in the game, you can also change it in real life.  (If you need a Crewmate for your new hat, check out my crewmate pattern on the Patterns page.).

Join the Among Us craze and knit yourself a crewmate!  This one is for my daughter, her crewmate is yellow with a leaf hat  She was so happy to have her very own crewmate!  Hopefully, he will help her get all her tasks done and avoid the Imposter!  Check out my patterns page to make your own!

 It's pumpkin time!!  This is a quick knit that is great for a gift!  Take an hour and have a pumpkin. This cute one is knit in the round using ribbing to give more definition.  I-cord is used for the stem.  Knit a bunch and you'll have your very own pumpkin patch.  All that is needed next is the Great Pumpkin on Halloween night!
Check out the pattern on the patterns page!

There is a typo in the materials section of the Hurry Up Spring Shawl pattern.  The Anzula Squishy Skeinettes in Ocean Blues has 8 skeinettes instead of 5.  The original pattern has 5 skeinettes listed incorrectly.  So sorry for any inconvience!

​Exciting ClaireKnits News! My pattern Hurry Up Spring Shawl is featured today through May 11 in the Spring Knits Bundle on Pattern Chest! I love this pattern because it is the perfect shawl to wear on cool spring nights. I hope you will love it, too!
