Legend says that Jesus rode a donkey into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, and the donkey was forever marked with the sign of the cross on his back. Your littles would love this super squishy donkey crocheted using blanket yarn. The pattern works up quickly because of the bulky yarn and can be made in whatever colors you prefer for your little one’s Easter gift.
