Hello friends! Today, I’m excited to share a first-of-its-kind amigurumi pattern for a Blue Salamander! This charming crocheted salamander is made using Himalaya Dolphin Baby yarn, which is the recommended yarn for the project. To create Burni, you’ll also need a 3.5mm crochet hook, perfect for working with this soft yarn.
Burni the Blue Salamander Crochet Toy Pattern
Burni the salamander features large, expressive eyes and a realistic face design that brings this amigurumi to life. While the basic design is simple, you may want to experiment with adding more details to the salamander’s back to make it uniquely yours.
