Meet Dewie the Donkey/Mule Mini Plushie Pattern created by Homebound & Hooked. Dewie is so excited to be your next project! This pattern includes one 10-page PDF file with detailed instructions and pictures explaining how to crochet and assemble all the parts to make a donkey or mule! Instructions are provided on how to work up the head, mane, body, ears, tail and legs. When worked with plush, blanket yarn, you can make an adorable mini plushie. When worked with worsted or dk yarn, this pattern makes an adorable Christmas tree ornament or keychain! There are two body options – one guides you into changing the belly color and the other is one solid color which leaves it open to any customization that you’d like. Look at both options before starting to determine which you prefer to work with.

Gauge:
Upon using #6 weight Bernat Blanket and a 8.00 mm hook, your creation will be the approximate sizes:
Length = 8”
Width = 6”
Depth = 6”

Skill Level:
This is a beginner level pattern with the assumption that you are already familiar with all of the crochet terms listed in the ‘stitches and terms’ section below. It has also been designed with the assumption that you have prior experience making amigurumi products. With that being said, I am more than happy to answer and assist with any questions!
