Every knitter knows (or should know!) the deliciousness that is Alpaca wool, right? Not only that but Alpacas are all-around, awesome animals! Well, what better use of a yummy, luxury fiber like Alpaca than to make it back into the animal it came from?!

Meet Zeke the Aloof Alpaca! This new knitting pattern from Danger Crafts will show you how to knit Zeke, the cutie pie alpaca. Zeke is a fast, super satisfying project that knits up easily on many yarn/needle combinations. Since it doesn't take much yarn to knit a Zeke, this is a great stash busting project for all those times you've bought just 1 or 2 balls because something was pretty. This pattern is very fun and once you knit one Zeke, you will find you want to knit an entire herd of Alpaca!
