Blue Donkey Amigurumi Crochet Pattern — Small Plush Toy (6–8 in)

Blue Donkey Amigurumi Crochet Pattern — Small Plush Toy (6–8 in)

This cute blue donkey amigurumi is crocheted using medium worsted/aran weight yarn (category 4), a 3.5–4.0 mm crochet hook for firm stitches, polyester fiberfill, and 9–12 mm safety eyes (or embroidered eyes for baby-safe toys).

Tips: keep tension tight so stuffing doesn’t show, stuff firmly but evenly to retain shape, use stitch markers to track rounds, and whipstitch limbs into the body securely. For neat joins, run an extra round of slip stitch at seams or use surface crochet for facial details. Experiment with color changes for inner ears and muzzle, and block lightly if needed to even out stitches.
