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.
Ashley says
Can we use any color for the body or do we have to use Aran I order to submit ? I have so much yarn I’d like to just use what I have. Thanks
Mikey says
You can use any colour and by all means, use some of your existing yarn collection.
Coreeen says
You can do it I started the head a few days ago. Was so afraid of the fur stitch but it really is simple.
Mikey says
It is simple... it's a bit tedious but doable. For me, I feel rushed as I am filming the entire project. Under other circumstances, I would have just sat back and enjoy the stitch journey.
Debbie Farriols says

Hi Mikey
I am working on the body and my pattern is the updated version. on the 18th round it says join and then 12 single crochet. I'm confused as to where the 12 single crochet go.... Also it looks like the new pattern only goes up to the 19th round attaches to the Head and then starts over at the first round. Can you clarify this as it looks like you didn't attach the body until much later.
Thanks
Mikey says
The new pattern has new round numbers but everything is accounted for. Unfortuantely, there was a pattern format updated after filming. I believe 18 is in the regular stitches.
