Angharad the Donkey is one of the longest standing members of Kerry Lord’s Edward’s Menagerie, standing her ground as a farmyard favourite. This crochet pattern is a great way for beginners to learn additional techniques like changing colour, and is the perfect project to level up your crochet skills. Donkeys are sociable animals, forming bonds that will last a lifetime – a quality that is shared with this crochet version, which will get softer and more snuggly the more cuddles you give her.

This soft toy will look at home in the nursery, sitting on the shelf or lovingly gift-wrapped for the loved ones in your life. Once you’ve finished crocheting Angharad the Donkey, you’ll be ready to start the next animal in the collection with this addictive new hobby!
