The Llama-No-Drama is an excellent crochet artistry amigurumi example from Yarnspirations. Designed by Nancy Anderson for Red Heart. This stitch along is complete and the entire pattern is in video tutorial and written pattern format.
This a HUGE pattern and the best way to attack a great pattern, such as this, is to go step by step in increments. There are learning opportunities with this one that includes the Fur Stitch repeat pattern.
Pattern Suggestion
Pattern Shown on Video
The pattern on the video is an old copy. The pattern was updated to a new format which is the one-button above. If you want to follow the video exactly as shown, download this version. This is the Original Crochet Llama Version. It is exactly the same pattern just with different round numbers.
Upon review, this adorable and sure to get your friends and family members looking at you as an artist will surprise you on how big this is. It's 14.5" tall x 11" long. It's not a stuffie to get stuff between the cracks of the could.
To prepare for this stitch along:
- 3 Balls Red Heart With Love Aran. You technically only need a bit of Tigerlily, Blue Hawaii, Hot Pink, Daffodil and just a strand of black.
- 1 Pair, 15 mm pure black safety eyes.
- Stitch Markers.
- Stuffing. It's pretty big, start with 1 small bag of stuffing and buy more at a later date if you need it. You will want to stuff this firmly.
- A mini box to store your supplies as you crochet this as you will have animal parts being created to assemble later on.
- You may want to buy an umbrella as your friends may shower you with compliments.

Knit Version
There is a knit version of the Llama-No-Drama. I'm not skilled enough in knitting to teach this as a Stitch Along or even regular tutorial.

Sorry if this posts twice. I think I lost my first reply before posting.
I just started this today and my pattern is different from the pattern in the videos. My pattern does not include the directions for the fur stitch. Is there a link to the pattern in the videos? Thanks

I’m late to the game and just starting this today. The pattern I downloaded from Yarnspirations is different from the pattern in the videos and does not include the directions for the fur stitch. Is there a different link to the pattern in the videos. Thanks
Mikey says
Yarnspirations has updated the pattern to 'today's standards'. There have been some changes to the pattern but all instructions are still the same for counting wise. Certain instructions were omitted.
They updated the pattern after I had filmed this. I don't have the original pattern to offer as they want the new pattern to be the one that everyone use.
You can email into Yarnspirations through their website if you prefer.

All you have to do is look at the pattern in the video and you can see the date on the bottom left. Photo is a bit different. The pattern being followed along with the tutorial is downloaded from the link listed. Always go to Youtube | all info is right there. He used August version and Yarnspirations updated it in December and obviously not what Mikey was following at the time.

When will you post the week #3 video? I’ve really enjoyed working on this, and I’m excited to get to the legs, etc. Such a fun project!
