Crochet Llama Graphgan

I’m going to be an auntie again! This time to a baby girl (my first niece!) My sister-in-law said llamas are the theme so I’m working on a single crochet graphgan with a sweet llama design and pretty pink yarn. My baby niece is going to be spoiled with lots of crochet gifts. This is the just the start!

What is a graphgan? A graphgan is a crochet afghan that made by following a design laid out in a graph. Each square represents a stitch or block and the pattern is worked back and forth form one side the graph to the other.

I’m not finished with the blanket but I wanted to post the pixel graph in case any of you were interested in this graphgan design.

Because pixel graph is a bit detailed, I found it easier to follow the color block pattern. I am including both the color block and the written pattern below.

Start with a chain of 118 in the darker pink and then in the second chain from hook, follow the color block or written pattern.

The two main colors I’m using are Caron One Pound in Rose and Soft Pink. You will only need one ball of each and you can feel free to use any of the colors from this line of yarn!

Additionally, I am using Red Heart Super Saver (because that is what I had on hand) in White, Aran (snout and inner ear), Buff (nose), and Black (eyes). But if you are shopping Caron One Pound, I have the suggested colors in the graph.

I did not carry my yarn as I go except when working on the hearts. I rolled up several big balls of each color and attached the strands when needed to color change.

I will be sure to post the finished blanket soon!

If you are looking for Crochet Llama projects, you have come to the right place! I have several free llama patterns here on the blog.

My nephew is going to be such a great big brother to his little sister. He also had a llama theme and I made him this wall hanging when he was a newborn. It was based off my Llama Love Pillow!
