Lucky the Llama Cuddle Buddy is ready to warm her way into your heart. This sweet stuffed animal is the perfect friend to take on any adventure. When made with bulky (5) weight yarn like Bernat Crushed Velvet or Bernat Velvet she sits approximitly 24 inches tall (I found the colours used for this pattern at www.yarnspirations.com). Or use medium weight (4) yarn like Bernat Baby Velvet or Brava Worsted to make a slightly smaller version. Both sizes are perfect for cuddles, hugs and endless adventures.
Note: This is an Intermediate Design but the pattern includes detailed photos and links to stitch tutorial videos to help you along the way.
