Looking for a festive jumper that can be worn all year round? This playful Donkey sweater is perfect for any boy or girl with a love of goofy creatures.

The Donkey jumper is worked from a simple single colour intarsia chart, then small pieces are knitted and sewn on to bring this dude to life. This would be a great jumper to wear to a nativity performance during the Christmas celebrations or as a gift.

Why not try a purple sweater with orange backgroud for the Donkey?

This sweater is easy to knit in DK weight yarn, with a bottom-up and drop-shoulder construction. The ears, muzzle, eyes and teeth are knitted separately and sewn on at the end.

Sized to fit approximate ages 1-11 years, see Chart in images section for full yarn requirements and sizing info.
