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 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.

Can I find someone to make this for me and get a price? Love the one shown here with the blue, orange, yellow colors. So cute!!! I have RA and my hands won’t let me do this.
Ruby Wilson says
Debra Wynn, just Mikey says, he doesn't sell his projects. He does do the patterns for free, I'm gonna make 6 of them in full scale for my granddaughters next Christmas, but will be will to make an extra, if u are will to pay the postage to send it to you. I don't normally sell my projects, they normally go to family n friends
Anne says
Hi, thanks very much for this nice project! Have you got an idea of any replacement yarn I could find here in France? Thanks in advance and have a nice holiday.
Mikey says
I'm really not sure. I live in Canada. I don't know what access or yarns are available in France. I'm sorry, I'm not much help.
Debra says
I’d go to a yarn shop to ask there. Show them what you are about to tackle; they should be able to help.
