Dennis, the happy little donkey, spends his days helping out on the farm and his evenings playing with his friends in the field and seeing who can bray the loudest. He sits just over 9 inches tall (when made with the recommended materials).
The 11 page pattern is intermediate skill level and uses UK terminology – if you would prefer US terminology, please message me. It is clear to follow with detailed instructions and lots of pictures for step by step making and assembly. There are also picture instructions for colour change, back loop only, the tail and mane.
The following stitches/techniques are used in this pattern: slip stitch, magic ring, double crochet, increase, decrease (dc2tog), colour change, back loop only
Recommended Materials:
- Yarn: I have made Dennis using Paintbox Yarns Wool Mix Aran (Aran/worsted weight yarn) - colour and weight details in pattern
- Hook: 4mm (G) crochet hook
- Stuffing: I use polyester filling
- Safety eyes: I have used 15mm plastic safety eyes, but you can embroider the eyes on if you prefer
- Yarn needle
- Pins
- (A stitch marker and row counter are useful)
(This pattern is for personal use only, not to be resold or rewritten in any way. I am happy for you to sell the finished toy, but please credit the design to me.)
