LLAMA

This Llama was a request from an unexpected connection that I made due to having to buy a new car. While waiting for the inspection to be completed on the van I was purchasing, I got to talking to the saleswoman about what I did for a living. I told her about Crochet Fanatic. She asked if I could make a llama for her. I said “of course.” Here is the pattern that I came up with
