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.

Thank You, Mikey and Daniel!
Llama No Drama has been a little critter I’ve been wanting to crochet. It’ll be fun to crochet along with y’all! :-)! I’ve surely missed your emails, but I now know I need to go directly to your site.
Many, Many Thank You’s for ALL Your crochet inspiration, tutorials and encouragement.
Kind Regards from Texas,
Mikey says
Yean, we don't do the emails anymore. Only 15% of the people who get them actually open it. It's a lot of time to make them but it's a very low number on who actually opens them up.
Danielle Mooney says
I know at one point you had an app. Do you still have it?
Mikey says
No, unfortunately not. It was a free app, we couldn't afford to keep running it for free and terminated it.

My grandson is to turn one in March so the Llama has a home there .... I have decided to do a chocolate colored llama.
Mikey thank you so much for all you do. I have just started crocheting just a year ago and I love your tutorials! I am also doing the mandala. These projects make such beautiful gifts. And I am always sure of what to do because of how you teach. Again Thank you! Happy New Year!
