The Fluffy Alpaca can now be your new best friend, all handmade by you!

The pattern is written in U.S. terminology. The main part of this project is worked in rounds so you might want to use a stitch marker to mark the end of each round. Working with fluffy yarn can be tricky, so using a stitch marker can be very helpful, you may also need to “feel” the sticthes with your fingers to know where to insert your hook. There is no specific gauge for this project, just try to keep it tight and even throughout each piece. Fluffy Alpaca measures approximately 12cm (5in), if you use the same yarn and tools indicated below. You might need to adapt the size of the safety eyes to your project if using different materials. The pattern is easy to follow if you are familiar with basic crochet skills and used to work with fluffy yarn, and contains step-by-step pictures.
