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.
Jessie Rayot says
What an awesome stitch along! I love that little Llama! 🙂
Felicia says
Do you do FLO or BLO when doing the fur stitch? The pattern says FLO, but video implies BLO. Please help, thank you!
Mikey says
The fur stitch is FLO for the first round.. BLO only for the second... and third round is both loops. It's impossible to do the BLO for the ch-10 because it will be inside the character.
Roslyn says

Pamela Carson says
How much would you charge to make this for me. I can't do crochet or knitting. Thanks
Mikey says
We are not involved in selling finished projects. Just handing out free patterns primarily or showing crocheters how to make it.
Gail says
Can you use the Caron one pound yarn?
Mikey says
You sure can.
