The Alpaca Pattern is DONE!

It's been my most requested pattern do date.


And I can't blame you.


When the idea first came to me I thought "Ohmigosh...this is going to be ADORABLE!"

I feel a little weird, fan-girl-ing over my own work, like maybe I'm a little self absorbed. Honestly though, I just really love my work.


It hasn't been all that long that I have been an amigurumi pattern designer, but it seems like most of the hobbies and life experiences I have had up to this point were preparing me for this.


When I thought I was going to be a photographer, I learned all about how the camera works, lighting, and set up. The gear, and the knowledge has been super beneficial.


When I thought I was going to write a cartoon inspired by my three young siblings-in-law, I learned my style of drawing, and how to convey what I thought was cute through simple shapes and lines.


Back when I went to school for interior design, I learned how to use Adobe programs, which is now where I edit my vlogs, videos, images, and create all of my patterns. I also refined what I like and came to a better understanding of myself and design.


All the years of working with my hands; making jewelry, sewing, drawing, building, and painting, have gotten me here. And I am really excited to see where this takes me!

Making a Pattern without Fleece

Hi Valerie, can we ask questions about the pattern (still a crochet novice) here or on instagram or ravelry? A forum would be great!


Q: Is 2) a continuation of the first rd of the 6sc? As in, is the (bo, inc) x 3 done in the mr; therefore leaving us with 9 total stiches at the end of the rd?

Ok nevermind, there was a shop section on the website I didn't see because I was on mobile. Thanks!

You may want to include a direct link to the pattern in the post in case someone like me comes by again 😬😅

Nice amigurumi. Saw it on Instagram and fell in love with it right away. Where can I buy/download this pattern?
