Dandy the Donkey

Dressed for Christmas with a Santa hat and boots, this little Dandy Donkey also has a striped saddle blanket. Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, this is knitted in acrylic DK yarns predominantly in stockinette stitch on single pointed needles (not in the round); the tail however is an i-cord tube worked on two DPNs. The pattern incorporates short rows to shape the donkey’s neck. The hat, boots and saddle blanket are removable. For confident beginners and above, other techniques used include casting on and off, knits, purls, increases and decreases, and seaming to finish.
