Every Christmas I love to have a new ornament for my tree. The ornaments on my tree may not all be perfectly coordinated but they each hold different memories; memories of the people who made them or of important events in my life.

The Fa La Llama is the second ornament in my annual Christmas ornament series. This llama is ready for fun with a bright red scarf around its neck.

The ornament is worked in the round and includes short row shaping for the body. The ears and legs are made using i-cord. The tail is braided.
