Most of you know that I take crochet requests from my Helenmay Crochet Special Donor Members. One of my Special Donor Members, Julie Garcia, requested a crochet Donkey. I had completed a crochet donkey a long time ago for a family member. So, I had to dust off the crochet pattern that I designed in the past to make my newest crochet donkey design. I made some modifications to the original design, and I absolutely love how my crochet donkeys turned out!! They are just too adorable! Thank you Julie for this wonderful Crochet request!
My family member, that originally requested that I make a crochet donkey for their friend, has 2 donkeys!
“Sugar” is on the left and “Spike” is on the right in the picture above. Here is their story:
In the picture are “Sugar” and “Spike.” My family members adopted them, and here is what they told me: “These guys were adopted from the Humane Society of Fort Worth in 2011. They were with 18 other donkeys roaming wild in Johnson County (We had a drought that year and people who could not afford hay or to water their pastures abandoned many livestock that year). These were the last 2 to be adopted. Had I not adopted them they would have been sent to the glue factory in Oklahoma. Sugar and Spike love oats, apples, and carrots for treats. Every once in a while they get some bread or even a sugar cookie! Donkeys kill snakes and keep coyotes away! Plus they are excellent alarm systems. They bray (like a dog barking) and let me know when someone or something out of the ordinary is in my yard. Mine get along with my dogs.”
I love it!! Sugar and Spike get a lot of love!!!!! They are so smart too!!”

Most of you know that I take crochet requests from my Helenmay Crochet Special Donor Members. One of my Special Donor Members, Brenda Butler, requested a Crochet Jack Russell Terrier Dog. When I was in the design phase, I couldn’t resist making my crochet design like one of the most famous Jack Russell Terrier Dogs that I know.

This is the first crochet dog that I used craft wire in the ears, and I absolutely loved it!!! My husband had fun rearranging the ears too..lol.. If you want the same craft wire that I used, here are some affiliate links for you:
I love the pink colored craft wire because it blends in with the inner pink color of the ear, but this affiliate link has different colors to choose from. Click on the picture above, or here to go directly to the PRIME link.
I always advise CAUTION if using craft wire in any of my amigurumi, because it is a potential danger. I never recommend the craft wire if you are making the crochet amigurumi for small children. If you are going to make the ears using craft wire, then I recommend using floral tape after you coil the craft wire back on itself. It helps prevent the coiled craft wire ends from protruding out of the yarn. It works perfectly! I was ecstatic when I found the white colored floral tape!! I think that it blends in better. Click the above picture, or here, to go directly to the affiliate link. The prime link has different colors to choose from.
For this particular crochet dog, you are going to need something in the ears to keep them from flopping around. I haven’t tried it yet, but for those of you that want to make this crochet dog for smaller children, you may want to try chenille stems. If you try it, please share pictures with me! I would love to see how it turned out!
