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.

Please can you supply me the link for Michael's version of the pattern. I find the row number listing confusing in the Yarmspirations one. Thank You
j. makarevich says
there is no michaels version. the pattern was originally on red heart. red heart and yarnspirations merged.
Beaj says
Sorry for the misunderstanding. I call Mikey , Michael as that was my dad's name. Mikey changed the row numbers and to me seeing this in his videos I think it makes the pattern easier to follow and yes it is available but I can't find it. Yaenspirations.ca was emailing it to me but it's not arrived so their office must now be closed. Thanks for your reply...
Mikey says
I inserted link into the comments of someone else for the exact copy I used in the videos. Hopefully that helps. you.
Mikey says
Here's the copy I used in the videos. https://thecrochetcrowd.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/RHC0334-024120M.pdf

Thank You Michael. Your video presentations are awesome.
CJ Boales says
Have you tried looking up llama no drama on YouTube ?
Felicity says
Does anyone know the washing/drying instructions for this?
Thank you!
Nicole T Permenter says
Thank you Mikey for putting your set of instruction up. The ones available on Yarnspirations is missing many rows after the attach head segment. Yours has 51 rows after. Theirs only has 10. Huge difference!
Mikey says
It should be there... What they did... they updated an old pattern and gave each section a new row count. They subdivided the sections more for easier reading.
Nicole T Permenter says
Mikey, I looked over it thoroughly. It is missing the set of 12 repeats. So, 36 rows. Also found the neck is short 1 repeat. Please have a look. Maybe you can get them to correct.
Mikey says
I will ask Customer Service at Yarnspirations to investigate again. In the meantime, just use the original one I posted.
Laney says
Does anyone know how much yarn the body takes and how much yarn the fur takes? I know the total is about 21oz.... but I was hoping to make mine two-toned. I wanted to have the body, face, feet, and ears in one color and the fur in a different color. If anyone has done this and knows about how much yarn was used for each, I would love to know! Thank you!
jaclyn says
hi! i am starting this and noticed that your fur stitch does not start with a single crochet as stated in the pattern. is there a reason for this variation?
Mikey says
Hmmm... I never noticed that. It's probably just my oversight if this is the case.
Felicia says
Are you entered in the contest as long as you send the picture by today? Or does it have to be in the album by today? I sent mine in, but it's not showing in the gallery.
Marina King says
It does take some time for the girls to get all the photo's in the album, how long ago did you send in your photo?
Felicia says
Thank you for your reply. It was on Friday 🙂
Marina King says
Yes they are still going through photos and adding them, the deadline for sending in was yesterday.
