You can cuddle up with cuteness – in the form of a crochet llama – with this fabulous C2C crochet blanket pattern. Complete with pom pom border, this picture-perfect throw is here to impress.

The Friendly Llama
This little llama certainly lives up to her moniker – just look at that friendly face! I always love when crochet amigurumi patterns are able to stand up on their own, don’t you? The llama crochet pattern uses single crochet stitches in the traditional amigurumi style and alternates between two types of yarn for a contrast in textures.

Amigurumi Llama
What could be better than a cute crochet llama? How about two! This pair of pachyderms sure know how to accessorize – just look at their coordinating scarves. But if you want to know my favorite part of the design – it’s the fabulous fluff of fur on top of their heads! What a cute couple of llamas.

Fleece Navidad
Shh, these llamas look like they are sleeping. The design has them looking serene sitting on the ground with their eyes closed. They would look right at home in a baby’s nursery decor or in a Christmas nativity scene. While not as flashy as their colorful cousins, these sweet llamas have a certain charm.
Designer: Brenna Eaves for Furls Crochet
Yarn: Red Heart Soft Solids & Heathers (Worsted Weight #4)

Amigurumi Alpaca
Who says that llamas have to be white or brown? These bright and bold llamas are looking fabulous in orange and purple. I especially love their colorful necklaces complete with tassels. Make them for someone and the imaginative design and exaggerated proportions are sure to win them a place in the recipient’s heart.
Designer: A Little Love Everyday
Yarn: (Sport Weight #3)

Larry & Linda Llama
Have you seen Red Heart Amigurumi yarn before? It’s a single skein of cake yarn that includes all of the colors you need to make a specific design. The llama color makes – you guessed it – two llamas! It’s a thinner yarn that beginners may have trouble with, but it does make the llamas extra dainty and adorable.
Designer: Nancy Anderson for Yarnspirations
Yarn: Red Heart Amigurumi (Fingering Weight #1)

Llama Patmos Amigurumi
I’m a little jealous of this llama’s lovely and colorful poncho. The design is a unique mix of realistic and creative that is certainly a winner in my book! You can crochet this cute llama using just single crochet stitches in the traditional amigurumi style. The accessories use all sorts of stitches – including highly textured bobble stitches!
Designer: Lovelycraft
Yarn: Yarn Art Jeans (Sport Weight #3)

Llama Dusting Mitt
Make household chores a little less dull with this fabulously fun and functional Llama Dusting Mitt.

There’s even a pattern for a smaller llama dusting mitt that you can make for little helping hands.

4 colorful llama panels join forces to create a cozy blanket in this stunning C2C crochet pattern.

Lovely Lola the Llama
It’s pretty common for free crochet llama patterns to include colorful and decorative blankets thrown over the backs of the llamas. I especially love the little blanket that Lola wears because it is woven with different colors and it includes an adorable fringed edge. This is also one of the most realistic looking designs on the list.
Designer: Handcrafting a Life
Yarn: Caron Simply Soft Solids (Worsted Weight #4)

Llama Hat
A llama hat would sure come in handy for a crochet llama halloween costume or for dress up play. I love the braided tassels that hang below the ear flaps and just look at the adorable way the llama’s furry head covers its eyes! With just double crochet stitches you can make this cozy cap in a jiffy.
Designer: Loveable Loops
Yarn: by Nicole Studio Classic (Aran Weight #4)

Loopy Llama Blanket
Crochet loop stitches are the perfect way to mimic the fluffy textured appearance of a llama. These stitches really stand out against a flat background of stitches in a contrasting color. The whimsical design would work well as a throw, a play mat, or a rug. Plus, the thick yarn makes the project work up quickly.
Designer: Yarnspirations Design Studio
Yarn: Bernat Baby Blanket (Super Bulky Weight #6)

Llama Lovey
Loveys combine the best of both worlds – amigurumi and blankets. You probably already know that these little buddys make cute companions for kids. I’ve never seen a llama one before, but I have to admit that it’s adorable! The pattern calls for just single and double crochet stitches, so it’s actually pretty easy.
Designer: The Leither Co
Yarn: Leither Co (DK Weight #3)

Ragdoll Llama
Did you know that there’s more than one way to crochet amigurumi? While it’s more common to see designs where everything is worked in the round, the ragdoll style has to crochet two flat panels and then join them together along the sides. The best part is that it’s all single crochet stitches!
Designer: Spin a Yarn Crochet
Yarn: Bernat Super Value (Aran Weight #4) and
Bernat Pipsqueak (Super Bulky Weight #6)

Mini Amigurumi Llama
This is a miniature and more manageable version of the similar looking llamas we saw before. These cute and cuddy llamas fit perfectly into a child’s hand. Plus, smaller size stuffed animals are great for taking on trips. Of course, the best part is that they’re also much faster to crochet and they take up much less yarn.
Designer: Grace and Yarn
Yarn: Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn! (Aran Weight #4)

Lluna the Llama
Lluna is a beautiful, realistic-looking llama stuffed animal that can stand up on her own. She would look stunning as a shelf decoration for a baby’s nursery, don’t you think? Her generous size also makes her a prime candidate for cuddles and hugs. There’s no wrong way to enjoy this delightful design!
Designer: Yarnspirations Design Studio

Mama Llama Cuddler
Here’s another one of our free crochet llama patterns in the ragdoll style. Use worsted weight yarn to create the smaller version, or choose super bulky blanket yarn and a larger crochet hook to make an extra large version. Either way it’s the same pattern and it only calls for single crochet stitches.
Designer: Winding Road Crochet
Yarn: Red Heart Super Saver Solids (Aran Weight #4)

Llama Wall Hanging
A bright and colorful crochet llama wall hanging would look right at home in a child’s bedroom. Choose a more sophisticated color scheme and I could also see this piece displayed in a living room or dining room. The pattern calls for single and double crochet stitches along with bobble stitches.
Designer: E’Claire Makery

Designer: Inkugurumi
Yarn: None Specified

Allie the Alpaca Toy
Soft and textured boucle yarn makes this llama amigurumi look like it has real fur! It’s easier to work with than faux fur yarn and the single crochet stitches that the pattern calls for are quicker than loop stitches. The colorful trio of pom pom necklaces are an especially adorable touch, don’t you think?
