Donkey Toy Baby Blanket

**Donkey Toy Baby Blanket Knitting Pattern** Looking for a charming and cozy blanket for your little one? Our Donkey Toy Baby Blanket knitting pattern is perfect for you! This delightful blanket features an adorable donkey toy and offers a unique combination of comfort and playfulness. **Finished Size of Blanket**: 31.5” x 23.65” (80 cm x 60 cm) Designed with advanced beginner knitters in mind, this pattern is knitted in the round, ensuring a seamless finish that avoids unsightly seams. The use of round knitting not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also provides a more durable and cuddly fabric for your baby. **Materials Needed**: - Pair of US 10 (6mm) knitting needles for the blanket. - For the donkey toy, you will need four double-pointed needles in a size suited to the yarn weight you choose. We recommend using needles that are one or two sizes smaller than the yarn suggests to create a snug and firm fabric. We used US 6 (4 mm) needles for this project. - 500 grams of light brown yarn for the blanket; we used Nako Sport Wool (25% Wool, 75% Acrylic; 100g = 120m). - 100 grams of light blue, blue, and light cream yarn for the donkey; also from Nako Sport Wool (25% Wool, 75% Acrylic; 100g = 120m). - Toy stuffing for added softness and plumpness. - A yarn needle for weaving in ends and finishing touches. - A stitch holder to keep your work organized. - Plastic eyes to give your donkey toy a charming and friendly appearance. Throughout the project, I work in the round to create a seamless look, ensuring the blanket is both beautiful and practical.
