Finished size: Donkey 11cm long, 7cm high, Traveller, 7.5cm, Cactus 10cm

All parts are knitted flat and sewn up at the end.

The knitting skills needed are basic knit and purl techniques; however, take care when you assembly. Having prior experience in toy and doll making will be advantageous. Assembly instructions are provided with photographs.

The project calls for small amounts of DK yarn. Feel free to use your stash. The crochet hook is to pick up stitches and does not need to precisely 3mm.
