Alana the Alpaca is a colorful, whimsical little alpaca who is very curious. She would love to stick her nose into your business! She also enjoys head-pats and back-pats, and would love a place to stay on your desk for frequent petting. She would be perfect for alpaca- and llama-lovers as a birthday, Christmas, or holiday gift!

This 10-page pattern includes written instructions and photo references. Alana is crocheted with super bulky yarn, so she is quick to work up and fun to hug, cuddle, and play with. This project is suitable for intermediate crocheters who are familiar with the basic amigurumi stitches and principles of doll-making.
