3in1 Llama Baby Blanket Crochet Pattern
Llama Baby Blanket – Crochet Pattern by Crafting Happiness
Looking for a fluffy, huggable friend for your little one? I have just the thing for you! The 3in1 Llama Baby Blanket is designed for minimalist homes, it’s gender-neutral and looks gorgeous when folded and rested on the baby crib.
And what a great idea! A cuddly warm blanket or playmat that the baby can play with and then folds into a decorative llama toy to decorate the nursery.
I used the front side loop stitch and the double loop stitch to recreate the furry effect on the blanket and body parts and then I decided to give it a removable saddle that adds a pop of color and also secures the baby blanket when folded or hung on the crib.
And of course, you can change the colors as you like to suit your nursery. I can’t wait to see how your version of the llama blanket turns out!

Llama Baby Blanket – A Multipurpose Baby Blanket
The 3in1 llama baby blanket acts as a blanket, a play mat, a toy, and a decoration for the nursery. It is the perfect baby blanket for a modern home where space is limited.
It is a blanket that keeps your child warm and snuggly.
If you travel, your baby stays warm and entertained while playing with the llama toy attached to the blanket.
At home, use this blanket as a play mat.
When not in use, fold it back and it instantly transforms into a cute and fluffy llama that you can rest on the cot to entertain your little one or to decorate the nursery.
Llama Baby Blanket – The Perfect Baby Shower Gift
This cute and furry llama baby blanket will make a wonderful baby shower gift to an expecting mom that can be used year after year as a blanket, toy, or playmat.
The 3in1 Llama Baby Blanket was designed to fit into a llama or alpaca-themed nursery, a farm-themed nursery, or a wild mountain-themed nursery. You can adjust the colors of the saddle to match any color scheme or gender and you can even change the color of the llama’s fur.
The pattern is designed with DK (light worsted #3) yarn, but you can use Aran (worsted #4) yarn if you wish, and make adjustments to the blanket size, the body parts will come out just a little larger but keep their shape.
It’s warm and cuddly and any child would love to have one to snuggle with at night.

Llama Baby Blanket – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
I am stuck on this pattern, can you help?
Every pattern you purchase from my shop comes with help and support. I will help you get unstuck and finish your project, so you can buy with confidence and try something new.
If you are completely new to crocheting, I recommend starting with beginner patterns and building up your confidence, pay attention to the skill level of the patterns and buy only if you are already at that level.
That doesn’t mean that you can’t contact me if there is a mistake or something unclear with this pattern, it simply means that you will need to learn the stitches, and the techniques, and learn how to read a pattern on your own.
You can contact me by messaging me on my Facebook page, Crafting Happiness, or by messaging me on Instagram.
Can I crochet this blanket using Aran yarn (worsted yarn #4)?
Yes, you can! The body parts will come out a little larger than my own, but still in the same shape. The blanket can be adjusted by simply crocheting fewer chains in the starting chain. Instructions on how to adjust the size of the blanket are in the pattern. TIP: use the same crochet hook I recommend in the pattern to keep the size closer to the original.
Do I have to use the same yarn brand as you to get the same result?
No, you don’t. You can use any brand you like but pay attention to the yardage, different brands have different yardage. I recommend this yarn because it has beautiful colors and washes well.
Here is a list of alternative yarns I recommend.
Can I change the size of the blanket?
Yes, you can. Each pattern can be adjusted by simply changing the number of starting chains and rows. I wouldn’t recommend increasing the size considerably because it will change the size of the body when folded away.
Can I sell items made with your pattern?
Yes, you can if you make them yourself. Mass production of my patterns is not allowed without written consent from me, the designer. Please check the copyright section for more details.

It is possible but not sure the amount of work and focus will be worth it. Besides, you need a specially made graph for it because the stars in the star stitch pattern are made out of two rows.
