Ludwig The Llama loves showing off his thick fluffy coat (and teasing his best friend Ted about his super-trendy haircut!), his long funny neck and short little legs are sure to put a smile on anyone’s face. You can customise the thickness and length of the coat too with a simple pattern adjustment, or mix and match different colours to create the perfect patchy look. Finished Llama made with Dk yarn and 4.00mm hook will stand at 28cm/11” tall.

For an extra funny Llama try adding accessories like hats or scarves - I added a simple knitted rib pattern scarf for the pictures but a bit of felt fabric or cut out top of a wooly sock used as a cowl will work great too, llamas with haircuts do look rather cold! (Do let me know if you’d like the scarf instructions, I will message them over)

This pattern is written in US crochet terms. There are step by step photos detailing how to make the toy, add the furry coat, assemble the parts and finish the project.
