Meet Lambert!

Lambert the Llama is fun and sweet and fabulous! He likes to have a good time so is wearing his tassels.

My example is almost 24” !!!

update: after a few requests I have included a “cheat sheet” to give detailed instructions on each increasing and decreasing round. Use the cheat sheet if you need to let you know the exact numbers/details on increasing/decreasing.

Material note: you do NOT have to use exactly what I have used, but if you use different materials your llama will probably look different in the end. I have used most all of the skeins of yarns that are listed in their entirety except you will only need a small bit of the Cloud 9 yarn.

Gauge is not important, but again, your llama will size different if you use a different yarn. The Touch of Alpaca yarn works up smaller than say Caron or RHSS.

PLEASE READ

This pattern is for at least Intermediate to ADVANCED Amigurumi style crocheters. It is an abbreviated CHART pattern. I give you all the body parts in chart/number/round form so that your llama will end up the same size with the same dimensions as Lambert. You also get all the photos in the pattern for reference.

I do have lots of tips and tricks and show you where/what round I have everything placed.

I have a LOT of photos for reference and detailed instructions. I also have 4 videos with tutorials on my You Tube channel - Kristi Bergin-Smith and they are titled “Lambert the Llama” to help with the making of the hair after he is crocheted because it is done with surface crochet and uses fur yarn.

If you have amigurumi knowledge and know how to work in the round - ex. 6,12,18,24 etc with increases and decreases you won’t have any trouble. This is probably not a beginner level pattern, although if you know how to work in the round maybe.

This is a big guy! But, with crochet you can custom this to make any color and make he a she and make a completely different llama.

I am here all to help and support you in any way I can after you download my pattern.

I would love to see your llama made from this pattern so please tag me on IG @theburgundybasket

NOTE: I did not include in the pattern the tassels because this part is really up to you. I just have five colored tassels on a crochet chain of 50 chains. They are randomly tied on and just looped around his neck.
