Free pattern: Trixie the Donkey

November 28, 2014 by Anne Weaver

Free pattern: Trixie the Donkey

Free pattern: Trixie the Donkey

The Pattern Patter blog shares a free vintage pattern for making this adorable felt donkey.  She’s hand stitched together from felt – a good project to make while hanging out with the family.  The vintage pattern comes courtesy of Mary Beth from Retro Monkeys.  She measures 11 1/4″ tall and 6 1/2″ long.  She’s intended to be a toy, but I see her being a cute shelf-sitter or mantel accent for vintage-inspired holiday décor.  Mary Beth suggests putting a bow around her neck.  You could also scale her down and make her a Christmas ornament.
