What does amigurumi means?
The word Amigurumi comes from Japanese. The Japanese call handicrafts knitted with crochet and needle as Ami. The Japanese call the toys that are filled with objects such as fibers or cotton as Nuigurumi. The word Amigurumi is derived as a combination of these two words.
Amigurumi knitting techniques are very easy. You can find many handcrafts prepared with these techniques on my site. What is Amigurumi for beginners in Amigurumi handwork? How to knit amigurumi?

Llama body
The llama body starts from the legs to the head.
Legs (make 04).
For the legs 01 and 03 cut the yarn after the round 10.
For the legs 02 and 04 see the following instructions.
1.- 6sc in a MR=6

Close with a slst and cut the yarn.
For the legs 02 and 04, don’t cut the yarn. Join the leg 02 to the leg 01 with a 3sc. Close and cut the yarn.
After, joining the leg 04 to the leg 03 with a 3sc, make 5ch and make 1sc between the legs 01 and 02.
Now, you have a piece like the picture below. We are going to start to work the body in rounds.
You will put a marker on the 2nd sc of the 1st leg.
1.- Make 12sc in the first leg, 1sc between the 1st and 2nd legs and 11sc in the second legs.
1dec (12thst + 1stch) , 1hdc, 1dc, 1hdc, 1dec (5thst + 1st dc of 3rd leg).

11.- 9sc, 1dec, 1sc, 1dec, 32sc=44sc
12.- 11sc.
Have sure that the last sc is in the middle back of the llama. If not, make some sc as necessary to.
Join the both sides of the piece with 13slst, leaving 17st unworked in the other extreme of the piece and the body.
Now stuff firmly the legs and the body, observing that the Llama´s legs are touching the surface together

With a chunky yarn you have chosen, make many chains as necessary to make two rounds on the neck of the llama. Make 2 more chains and close the ring.
1-Ch2, make 1hdc in each chain and close with a st.
Hide the yarn.
Glasses
If you don´t have an amigurumi glasses, you can to improvise with a 2 rings for a keychain and a thin black yarn!!!! I used a cotton yarn Bella(100g/450m)
1-With a proper crochet hook for a thin yarn, make some sc as necessary for to cover the first ring (23sc with Bella yarn). Close with a slst. Don´t cut the yarn
2-Ch5, cover the other the ring with a some sc as necessary, close with a slst.
3-Make 5slst in each slst of the previous round.
Close with a slst, cut and hide the yarn. To fix the glasses to the llama face you will need a little bit of a hot glue in a specific place
Blanket
1.- Start with a 7chain
In the second from hook, make a sc and make more 5sc, 1ch. Turn the work.
2.-16(15 rows) 6sc, 1ch turn
Alternate the colors as you wish (even 2 or 3 rows).
After the last row, make 1sc around the piece, in each corner, make 3sc
Hide the yarn.
Fasten the blanket to the llama with a 30cm of t-shirt yarn. Hold the pompom to the blanket with a hot glue
Hi! Your pattern and idea is genius, but you’ve got a few errors that made it a little bit hard to understand the pattern. Firstly, you repetitively misspell “sew” as “sell”. I think it would be helpful if you double check your pattern while and after writing it, or going over what you’ve written after the fact. Second, row 33 of the head makes no sense. I think it should be (1sc, 1dec) and not (2sc, 1dec), otherwise you wouldn’t be able to get to the neccesary stitch count. I also noticed you use hot glue in instances where it might actually be easier to just sew, such as the pompom on the blanket. This is actually a personal preference but I think in terms of not having to use too much different equipment, it would help. When you’re making that pompom, you can leave the thread you use to bind it long and sew it on like that.
For my llama’s glasses I actually bent a thin wire and wrapped black yarn all around, that way the glasses remained thin and pleasant. It is a bit tedious though, and I liked your idea of crocheting around a Keychain.
All in all, a fantastic pattern with good execution and an adorable outcome. I loved making this Llama (and looking at it when it was done) 🙂
Thanks for your advices. The reason is I don’t know how is make amigurumi, I just translate the pattern. so errors can be in the text. I m glad you understand the pattern. you can show it in my facebook group after the pattern is done 🙂 My Facebook Group is Amigurumi Daily
