One day I woke up and decided I didn't want to work on any of my other crochet projects, I wanted to make a Llama. So I did! Here he is! Little Bernard! This pattern may be messy and has only been tested by me, so if anything is confusing, feel free to ask or help correct my pattern! Thanks, Natasha (mnopxs2).
I used all worsted weight yarn (you may use whatever you wish tho) Feel free to use whatever colors you wish, I am just sharing the colors I used.
*Cream (I used Vickie Howell for Caron SHEEP(ISH) in the color White(ISH))
Less than 1 Skein, or color of your choice.
*Light Green (I used Bernat Baby Coordinates in Iced Mint)
Less than 1 Skein, or color of your choice.
*For his bandanna I used the color Freshly Pressed in Peaches and Cream
Less than 1 Skein, or color of you choice.
*For his bandanna I used the color Freshly Pressed in Peaches and Cream
Less than 1 Skein, or color of you choice.
*Size E-4/3.50mm and F-5/3.75mm crochet hooks (Anytime you use the Cream color, use the E hook, when using the Light Green (or furry) color, use the F hook).
Size won't matter too much, the smaller the hook, the smaller your Llama!
*Yarn Needle*Scissors
*6mm/.24 IN Black Safety Eyes
*Polyfil for stuffing
*Black Thread and Sewing Needle for making a nose and smile.
*Stitch Marker
