Is the donkey plushie crochet pattern suitable for someone new to crocheting?

This pattern is designed for confident beginners, and features easy-to-follow steps and photo tutorials especially for tricky parts. If you know the basic stitches, you'll find it really approachable, and plus, Marcy is available to help if you get stuck.

What do I get when I buy the donkey plushie crochet pattern as an instant PDF?

When you buy the instant PDF version, you get immediate access to download the full pattern right to your device. It includes clear written instructions using U.S. crochet terms and helpful photos to guide you. This way, you can start making your plushie right away without waiting for anything to ship.

Do I need to buy extra materials besides the pattern to make the donkey plushie?

If you only get the pattern, you'll need to gather materials like Premier Yarns Basix Chenille in the colors listed, a worsted weight yarn, safety eyes, a crochet hook, a yarn needle, a stitch marker, stuffing, and optionally some weighted filling. But if you want to skip the hassle, you can also buy the pattern plus a complete materials kit that includes everything ready to go.
