Lola & Luis Llama Loveys Crochet Pattern
Lola & Luis The llama Loveys – Crochet Pattern by Crafting Happiness
Lola & Luis Llama Loveys are the little brother and sister of the 3in1 llama Baby Blanket and they are just as fluffy and cuddly as their bigger version.
The pattern comes in 2 versions: Beginners & Intermediate.
The beginner version has a simpler blanket pattern made with the granny stitch in the round while the intermediate one has a more complex pattern for the blanket made with the loop stitch in the shape of a 5-point star.
I really wanted to make this a special design and so I decided to go for the star-shaped loopy blanket and I think I got it just right.
It comes with an optional bow that can be used as a hair bow or bow tie depending on who you are making llama lovey for.

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.
NOTE: The free version of this pattern does not come with the same help, just because it’s not fair on those who support me and bought this pattern.
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, use a smaller hook than recommended for Aran yarn to keep the size smaller. The blanket can be adjusted by simply crocheting fewer rounds.
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.
Can I change the size of the blanket?
Yes, you can. Each pattern can be adjusted by simply changing the number of rounds you make.
Can I sell items made with your pattern?
Yes, you can. Please check the copyright section for more details.
