    About

    I was going through my wool box and I found donkey which I’d started last year and for some reason stopped (from memory I got cross attaching the ears tehehe). I decided to finish him and he’s so cute! He is big, like 18inches sitting to top tip of ear and 24 inches toe to tip of ear. I think I will Keep him for the sofa.

    Yarns

    Needles & Hooks

    • Single Point 7.00mm (US 10.75) 30cm

    Accessories

    • Stuffing
    • Tapestry Needle

    Measurements

    I think I used 7mm needles and Sirdar touch

    Notes: If I was doing it again now and after all I’ve learnt the past year with toy knitting I would use 5mm needles with this yarn so it is tighter knitting. :)

      He is so big and beautiful. I've not made a donkey as yet, must rectify that soon.

        Thanks Michelle, I’ve done the bear pattern since and used 5mm needles and it comes out much better, just that bit tighter.
