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.

Hi Mikey,
I'm actually loving this pattern. Just started it and it is really working up faster than I thought it would. Have you heard of anyone doing it with blanket yarn? Would make it much bigger I know, but do I need to adjust the stitch counts?
Julie Riha says
Loving the Llama. A question about the fur stitch. The written instructions in the pattern states that I am to single crochet in the 1st single crochet in the 1st round, then start the chain 10 loops. In your video you start with the ch 10 loop then sc in first stitch. Can you clarify which way is the correct way?
Thank you
Mikey says
Follow what the pattern is suggesting if what I am showing you isn't working. The pattern is ultimately correct but I deviate at times.
