I found this free crochet llama pattern in German and I couldn’t resist making it! This is the first time that I’ve ever successfully completed a project written in a different language and I feel quite proud. If you need help translating the pattern, You can check out THIS post that details the process I used to translate the llama pattern.

Update: I got Ms Eni’s permission to make a video tutorial for this pattern!

I used a 2.75 mm crochet hook and worsted weight gray yarn. to make my llama. In addition to the original pattern, I added a crochet saddle and a baker’s twine & pom pom tassel. (scroll down for saddle pattern)
