Fairytale Llama Children digital pattern.
Adventure llama was the last design I made for the book “ Wildlife Sweaters for Children ”. And this time with the motif of a llama and a child going on an adventure. Maybe they are standing at the foot of a mountain in Norway, or maybe they are on an adventure in the Andes in Peru. It is hard to say.

Most people knit tighter in patterns than they do when knitting solid color stocking stitch. That's why I've included in the pattern that you should go up half a needle size when knitting patterns. Knitting tension varies from person to person so always knit a sample before you start.
