Mini Alpaca


The larger alpaca video is a great guide for making the mini, you simply are knitting instead if EWrapping. I have changed the legs up but nothing that can't easily be figured out.

Row 15: K6
DSCOF
Sew up snout, close back of head, and stuff. If you didn't do the BOLB sew your ears up. Note when stuffing I would suggest barely stuffing the snout, or even using some of your scrap yarn to stuff the snout. This will give you a more distinct difference in your head and snout area.

Row 15: D1 K1, K4, D1 K1 (10)
Row 16-24: K
COF
Sew up neck, stuff, then close back end. Sew on head lining up back of head with tail. Sew up tail if you didn't do the BOLB.

 Legs: 10pegs: Flat: Smooth:
DSCO 10 pegs
Row 1-2: K
Row 3: P
Row 4-5: K
Row 6-15: CY T K
COF
Close up bottom of leg and stuff. Make 4. Find the base of the 2 columns that were not wrapped and turned at the base of the body. Start sew the leg at the base back, follow that line and sew the back leg on starting from the purled line on the back end. Repeat on both sides. If you have questions here check the video. Sew or glue your eyes on following the ears down to the base of the snout and sew your eyes on there. Your done!!!
(Note: if you want to do a darker alapaca I could suggest using 2 strands of textured yarn rather than one, reason being is with darker colors the filling will show through. )

If you want to make a bigger sheep on the 24 peg loom double everything. ( meaning if you have 4 rows do 8. Also if you are doing an area like the ear double the pegs you use instead of 2 use 4.) Think of it like a recipe when cooking. By doubling everything you will be doubling the size of the animal.  Or you can do adjustments to the goat to create the sheep at a larger size. Just keep in mind you do the wrap and turn  section to half of the loom on the head.
