Crochet Llama Applique

April 8, 2018

When I set out to make a crochet llama applique, I thought it would be a quick, easy project… and don’t get me wrong, the final project is pretty easy to whip up… but the design process didn’t go as smooth as I had hoped. Each time my little llama looked more like a giraffe and my family kept telling me to try again. This was my 5th go at it and I’m pretty happy with this version! I think it would be such a cute addition to a hat or blanket!

Materials:
– Bernat Super Value Yarn in White. You will need a bit of black, cream, pink, and turquoise for the embellishments.
– Size G Crochet Hook
– Tapestry needle

    I wish I had occasion to need a llama! I love his adorable little face, it’s like he accomplished something and is very proud of himself. If I need a llama, I’m coming back to this! Thank you!

    It is just wonderful! You can tell by the finished product that a lot of time went into the design. I love the scallops along the edge! Very original.

    I feel like there should me an extra sc 3 and sc on the back of the neck because my ears are on the neck and not on the top of the head
