To make this sweet little donkey, I basically crocheted a donkey-shaped 'bag' from the nose back, increasing and decreasing stitches to freeform a donkey shape. At the shoulders I left two holes for the front legs and continued with the body, to come back later and continue crocheting down the legs.
The back legs were added separately later, as were the other donkey bits - tail, mane, eyes and of course the donkey's ears.
It was fun to work without a pattern but risky too. Living life on the edge, one stitch at a time.
