What kind of name does this little beast get? Amigurumi Alpaca? Alpagarumi? Ami Alpaca? Amipacarumi? Amialgapacarumi?
He was fun to make and really boosts my confidence when it comes to crochet. He's a combination of several patterns that I found by two different authors. I used Tamoko Takamori's donkey pattern and Ana Paula Rimoli's hedgehog pattern to get all the pieces I needed. The proportions aren't the same as their patterns, but that's where I started. He's made out the odds and ends of my own handspun alpaca yarn, which seems appropriate.
Now he just needs a name...

Ami Alpaca sounds like a good name. If he was mine he would probably be called Baby Al!
Oh he is even more adorable than the bunny! I'm sure you could make a fortune selling these! Everyone would want one! i will think of a name and come back to you. You are very clever making these cute animals.
Now he is very unusual as well as cute . . .are you going to make them to sell?
now he is brilliant, and so right for you.... much less work to farm them?
I'd call him Al Packer
(He does look lovely and cuddly!)
Even cuter than the bunny! He's gorgeous! Or she...what a cute top knot! Your crochet looks really good.
Hmmmm - I'll have to think about that. He/she is very sweet! Looks cuddly and a bit mischievous! You are amazing!
Ali Paca...now you just need to crochet 40 little thieves!
How about Al?
Adorable!
I always wondered what Alpacas really were now I know: A cross of donkey and hedgehog who would have guessed? ;_))
Gorgeous!!
OK Suz,
I want one... let me know the cost now so I can save up ;) He is absolutely precious. How long did he take and approx. cost. Interesting give away to "adopters". Ami sounds about right!! I like Ivy's thought, he is actually a donkeyhedge, or is that a hedgedonkey!!!
Is there any way I could get a pattern? He is sooo cute!
Olivia, I tried to find you but you haven't posted anything yet!! I'm in the process of actually writing down how I made this one, as I make another, so send me your e-mail and I'll get the pattern to you. I'm not a scary type, and I won't spam you or anything weird. Glad to have you on board with us wooly gals!
Oh my goodness..I am having a heck of a time trying to figure this out to post LOL..I could not find an email address for you.
