What you need to know

Muletide greetings! It’s time to introduce you to another member of our carol-singing collection and with his tall top hat and, most importantly, the song book, we think this smart donkey is the leader of this cute quartet. The clothes are worked with the body and cunning ridge rows are used to distinguish the different pieces. Be careful not to overstuff the hat or it will lose its fabulous shape.
