Laurence Donkey the Ami

I wanted to create a four-footed animal with minimal sewing required. I thought a donkey would be perfect for my challenge. I took me a few attempts before coming up with a sketch I wished to crochet. That was Laurence with a colorful blanket on his back.

I was determined to make my sweet donkey in one piece, I tried several options and eventually I landed to the solution that I propose in this pattern. The head and the legs are crocheted to the body, leaving only ears, muzzle and tail to be sewn on separately.
