curtain tie-back
by BBadorables

Thank you for purchasing this pattern! Please, feel free to contact me, if you
have any question or feedback regarding this pattern. This pattern is for
personal use only and should not be in any way shared, published or sold.
This is an original design by myself, BB adorables. Hope you enjoy making
this donkey!
Remarks
This project is working in continuous rounds, do not join or turn unless
otherwise stated.
Use a stitch marker or a piece of yarn to mark the end or the beginning
of each round. Move the marker up every round.
All stitches are worked into both loops, unless stated otherwise in the
pattern.
If you need to change color, do it always at the end of the previous
round. Start the last stitch of the round with the old color. Change the
color right before you draw through all loops on hook to complete stitch.

Materials I use
This pattern can be made using any yarn you wish. Choose a hook size
that matches the yarn. If you want to increase or decrease the size of the
donkey, use the correct yarn type for your hook.
It is important to make tight stitches. For a nice and satisfactory result
make sure you use a smaller hook than usually recommended for your
yarn. This way you will get a fabric tight enough to avoid small stretching
gaps between your stitches once stuffed, and so the filling doesn’t pop
out later.
For stuffing, they are many sorts of stuffing materials and the choice is
yours. For best results I recommend stuffing your project firmly, don’t
hesitate to overstuff as long as the yarn you are using allows it.

You can use:


▪ Worsted weight yarn in your color choice. I used:
I Love this Yarn in Gray, Black and White
▪ Size 3.50 mm hook
▪ Stuffing
▪ Tapestry needle to weave in ends
▪ Stitch marker
▪ Scissors
▪ 10 mm black safety eyes
▪ Brown cotton thread for the nostrils

The height of this donkey is 22 cm (9 inches) in the sitting position


(without including the ears) and the arms' length is 20 cm (8 inches)

Abreviations

CH = chain
SC = single crochet
SC2Tog = sc 2 together (decrease)
SC2 = sc 2 in one st (increase)
SL ST= slip stitch
ST(s) = stich (es)
BLO = back loop only
R = round
FO = fasten off

( ) = repeat between ( ) number of times indicated or all in one stitch as


noted.
The bracketed numbers at the end of the rounds represent the number
of stitches you should have at the end of that particular round.

Basic technique
Magic Ring : starting a piece with adjustable loop.
A magic ring is a way to begin crocheting in the round by crocheting over
and adjustable loop and then pulling the loop tight. The advantage of the
magic ring method is that there is no hole left in the middle of your
starting round.
If you don’t want to begin this way then use these steps: chain 2 and
crochet 6 sc into the first chain and then continue onto round 2.

Note

Sew the hands, legs and tail to the donkey’s body (see photo below for
the position of the hands and legs), in this case the donkey is looking
right, if you wish to have your donkey looking left, just sew the hands in
the opposite direction. Do the same with the legs and tail. Make sure that
the arms are securely sewn onto the body. Congratulations your donkey is
finished!!
