What size felt llama does this pattern make?
Our free pattern makes a felt llama that’s about 6 inches tall (7 inches, including the ears). It’s about 4-3/4 inches across and 1-1/2 inches thick, including the pom poms. The exact dimensions will vary based on how much or how little you stuff your llama.
Can I turn this stuffie into a felt llama ornament?
Yes, it’s very easy to transform your adorable felt llama into a Christmas ornament, or a fun decoration to hang up year-round. Simply tie ribbon or string into a loop and, before sewing the llama together completely, insert the hanger where you’d like it to sit. We suggest a longer hanger connected to the middle of the llama’s back. Read our felt ornaments post for more detailed instructions.
Do I have to embroider the felt llama’s face?
No, if you don’t feel comfortable using embroidery floss to create the llama’s face there’s definitely other options. First, use puffy paint to draw on the face details. The thin nozzle on these bottles makes them easy to control, and it’ll add another raised, textured element to your llama. Or if you don’t mind sewing, but want to give your llama another look, you can sew tiny seed beads for the eyes and the nose/mouth.
