Little Donkeys
These little donkeys are knitted with Shetland wool and can be made in two sizes just by changing the weight of yarn used. The bigger donkey is knitted with DK weight yarn and 3 mm needles and measures about 10 cm / 4” from nose to tail. For a smaller donkey (7.5 cm / 3”) use Shetland Spindrift yarn and 2 mm needles. Full details on all the yarns used are given in the pattern.
The donkeys stand up and would make a good addition to a knitted nativity scene or as ornaments in their own right. The legs are shaped with pipe cleaners which means that they are not suitable as toys for very young children.
All my ravelry patterns are free to download but, if you enjoy them, please consider making a donation to the Children’s Liver Disease Foundation, a charity which funds research and supports the families of children with a liver disease. You can do this easily by going to my fundraising page www.justgiving.com/frankiesknittedstuff
Happy Knitting!
