Bowling Llama Set Amigurumi Pattern

The Bowling Llama is a cute chunky amigurumi llama that stands upright like a bowling pin, so you can knock it over with a crochet ball. The llama is about 15 cm (5.9 inches) tall and is made without separate parts: the ears, the nose and the legs are worked as part of the body and head. The pattern also includes a bowling ball with bobble stitch spots.
