DUDE "The Dopey Donkey'
Measurements: Approximately 8.5" tall sitting, 10.5" tall standing, and 6.5" wide Materials: Worsted Weight Yarn in Light Gray, Dark Gray, White, and Black 2 - 12mm Safety Eyes 4.5mm Hook Polyester Fiberfill or other Toy Filling Yarn Needle Stitch Marker
Design Notes:
I used Caron ilb for this pattern. I find this worsted weight yarn to be thicker than other worsted weight yarns. If using any other brand, I suggest using a 4.omm crochet hook or smaller. You can use any yarn weight and appropriate hook to create this pattern. This will affect the size of your finished piece. Amigurumi does need to be crocheted tightly so the stuffing does not show through. If using a different yarn weight, make sure to use a smaller hook than the yarn recommends. In addition, safety eyes can be considered a choking hazard. If you intend on giving this doll to a child under 3 years old, it is highly suggested you use yarn eyes in place of the plastic safety eyes. Pattern Copyright @2o15 Megan Alameda.

MANEINSTRUCTIONS
To achieve the mane shown in the photos, I used two strands of Dark Gray Yarn two stitches wide. Beginning at the base of the neck, taking two strands of yarn approximately 7" long, fold yarn in half. Pull yarn under one stitch and pull ends through the loop of the yarn. Continue this process for each strand of hair. Trim mane to the length desired. Admire your hard work! Thank you for choosing my pattern.
