This is a downloadable PDF knitting pattern
Inspired by my favourite melancholy donkey, A A Milne's Eeyore. The main head has instructions for working both flat or in-the-round. Knitted in stocking stitch starting with ear flaps and decreasing to shape the crown. The features are knitted separately, sewn together then attached to the head. The muzzle is stuffed with toy stuffing which together with long ears gives a fantastic 3d effect. Darcy’s has jet black eyes and mane and is finished off with a buttoned on tail.
