Free crochet alpaca pattern: an Alpaca in a Christmas Sweater amigurumi, about 14 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook.

It is a cheerful shelf friend or a gift for anyone who collects woolly animals. Spin the 3D model and follow the round-by-round pattern.

The round-start marker is in the middle of a long side (the piece's centre line), while R1 starts at a turn: after R1 shift the round start — sc 1 more (not counted in any round) and place the marker there.
