Even an alpaca likes to be properly dressed for summer! Get your toy ready for the beach with a simple bikini, and knit the pretty lace dress to cover up afterwards.

The toy and clothes are knit flat and seamed. Knitting techniques include stockinette and garter stitch, left and right decreases, m1 and yo increases, and changing colours.
