As you’ve noticed, our name is Crafty Llama, so naturally we’ve come up with a free crochet amigurumi llama pattern for you to make at home! This is a beginner-friendly crochet pattern but you will need to know the basics of chain stitching, creating a magic circle, increasing and decreasing stitches, and making single crochets.
Tips:
Make sure to keep a tight tension when you’re crocheting so there are no holes that your stuffing can come out of.
Stuff your amigurumi llama with a lot of filling! You want it to look plump and hold its shape so fill it with a good amount of filling.
Put your stitch marker on the last stitch of every row to keep track of how many you’ve done. This can be a bit difficult at times, especially while trying to follow the pattern at the same time, so consider getting a row counter to make life easier.
Here are the supplies we used:
DK yarns (in our llama we used Cygnet 100% cotton in white and Cygnet Pure Wool in cream)
Extra yarn for eyes, nose, mouth and saddle
Safety eyes (if using)
Toy filling
Clover Darning needle
HiyaHiya Scissors
