This is Dylan, the sweetest little donkey, looking for hugs. Dylan measures about 8 inches sitting in a DK yarn, but he can be made from any weight yarn and appropriate hook for different sizes. The pattern contains instructions for both a jointed donkey and a donkey with fixed arms and legs. It is an easy pattern to follow with plenty of photos and diagrams and you will always be welcome to contact me for any extra help.
