Bobbin the Donkey

Meet Bobbin, the adorable silver grey donkey designed by the talented Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz! This charming knitting pattern guides you through creating a delightful donkey in soft acrylic DK yarns. Bobbin features a striking dark grey mane and tail, making him an eye-catching addition to any toy collection. This pattern is perfect for confident beginners and above, as it incorporates essential knitting techniques that will enhance your skills.

Bobbin's tail is uniquely crafted as an i-cord piece using two double-pointed needles (DPNs), but feel free to get creative! If you prefer a different look, you can easily make a plaited yarn tail or crochet a simple single chain tail instead. In addition to the tail, this knitting pattern covers various techniques such as casting on and off, knitting and purling, increases and decreases, and seaming to finish your donkey beautifully. With clear instructions and helpful tips, you’ll enjoy every stitch of this adorable project!

Whether you're making Bobbin as a gift or for your own collection, this enchanting donkey will bring joy to all who see him.
