This is an EASY knitting pattern for an alpaca (or llama) shaped hat for a baby. A quick knit, this is a fun project and a proven show stopper at baby showers, birthday parties and every other occasion you can think of. This fun, unique beanie is meant for your favorite little one to show off and stay warm.

Stick to neutral colors for a more authentic alpaca, or get wild and crazy with a mix of colors! Let the alpaca be your oyster. Please note, it is very easy to llama-fy this pattern up. All you have to do is skip the magical hair tuft at the end.

The pattern comes in two sizes: newborn-6 months and 6-12 months.

Skill level - easy-ish (I can vouch for this as I have never had the patience to follow a difficult pattern. So why on earth would I make you do it? If you can knit, purl, and know how to use circular needles you will be just fine.)

U.S. 9 (5.5mm) 16 inch circular needle
U.S. 9 (5.5mm) double pointed needles
Tapestry needle
