Dandy the Donkey

Get ready for Christmas cheer with our adorable Dandy Donkey pattern, expertly designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz! This charming little donkey is dressed in a festive Santa hat and boots, complete with a striped saddle blanket that adds a delightful touch. Crafted using high-quality acrylic DK yarns, this whimsical toy is primarily knitted in stockinette stitch on single pointed needles, making it a fun and engaging project. The tail is uniquely designed as an i-cord tube, skillfully worked on two double-pointed needles (DPNs) for added flair.

The Dandy Donkey pattern incorporates innovative short rows to shape the donkey’s neck, and additional techniques such as casting on and off, and knitting and purling. This project is tailored for confident beginners and those more advanced in their knitting journey. Plus, the removable hat, boots, and saddle blanket allow for versatile play and display options. Whether you’re knitting this delightful donkey as a holiday gift or as a charming addition to your home decor, it promises to bring joy and creativity into your knitting experience.
