Llama Amigurumi Crochet Pattern — Paco

Paco is a cream llama with a curly wool cap over his crown and sides, a tan muzzle, tall soft ears and a bright striped saddle band in teal, red and mustard. A speckled little pompom dangles at his chest, and a tiny tuft sits at his back 🧶

He's written for confident beginners. The stitches themselves stay simple — magic ring, single crochet, increases and invisible decreases — with two techniques that give him his character: a BLO-marked zone on the crown, then a FLO picot-loop appliqué worked over it to build that fluffy fleece. We take you through both slowly.

Head and body are one continuous top-down piece. His two-tone paws and foot stubs crochet-join into the body as you work, and his tail tuft is surface-crocheted directly onto the back, so five pieces are sewn: two ears, the muzzle, the saddle band and the pompom.

Your download is a PDF in English, in US crochet terms, with materials, abbreviations, gauge notes, round-by-round instructions, the wool texture recipe, assembly, embroidery and troubleshooting. He finishes at around 14 cm / 5.5 inches tall, in chenille bulky on a 4.0 mm hook with a 3.0 mm for the cotton trims.

Give the fleece your patience — it's the loveliest part ✨
