Fairy Tale Llama Child digital pattern

Adventure Llama Kids digital pattern.
The Adventure Llama was the last design I made for the book “Wilderness Sweaters for Kids”. And this time, with a llama motif and a child embarking on an adventure. Perhaps they are at the foot of a mountain in Norway, or maybe they are on an adventure in the Andes Mountains in Peru. It’s hard to say.

Most people knit tighter when knitting with a pattern than when knitting plain stockinette stitch. Therefore, I have included in the pattern that you should go up half a needle size when knitting with a pattern. Gauge varies from person to person, so always knit a swatch before you begin.
