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.
Christine Jambriska says
I am nervous. I have wanted to crochet a llama for a very long time and haven’t had the confidence. I am still not confident. But I would like to try. So I am going to jump in but I’m not telling anyone. Thank you so much for your encouragement. Christine J.
Yovana Moran says
Love this Llama...I'm going to do it. New challenge here I go. Thanks so much for the videos
Coreen says
You got this. I was so nervous thinking I’d never be able to do the fur stitch but it’s really very simple. Yes, it’s time consuming but I’m livening it so far. Just started with the head.

Aran color is out online and in local stores. Any other brand you suggest? It’s my first crochet-along.
Mikey says
Bernat Super Value is what I used. You can also use Red Heart Super Saver.
Janice Horton says
I buy cheap pillows for the stuffing instead of polyfill. Much cheaper and it does the trick. ?
Mikey says
Agreed!
Amy Killeen says
Hi Mikey
Sorry if this submits twice. I'm on the body and I'm confused by the 18th round. It says join, 12sc... Where do the 12 singles go?? Is that an error in the pattern?
And i know your pattern is different but did you attach your body later?
Thanks for the clarification!

Marina King says
I do believe the body and head are done separately then joined.
