Make the funkiest donkey on the block
Funky Donkey is probably the coolest donkey you’ll ever meet. Though he’s just 5 inches tall, he definitely knows how to rock a Mohawk.
This is a very simple pattern; the only area which might prove to be a bit difficult is the mohawk made with eyelash yarn. The good news is, it is just a few short rows of single crochet stitches and gets over quickly. Besides, the mohawk seriously ups the cuteness factor of our darling little donkey, don’t you think!
