Ever since I made this crochet cake last year, I've been dying to make more crochet desserts! I decided to make some crochet donuts using really bright colors for the icing! The cool thing is that they are very very easy to make and once you get started you won't know how to stop!
Basically the donuts are made in two pieces; first you will make the base and then you will make the icing for the donuts! The fun part is the decorating part where you can really use your imagination and create some fun decorations!:)
WHAT YOU NEED:
100 % acrylic yarn (light brown for the base, any colors for icing)
4mm (G) crochet hook
Toy stuffing
Yarn needle (to sew the parts together)
Beads (for decorating)
Fabric glue (optional, you can also sew your beads on the icing)
DONUT PATTERN
Base
With light brownCh 18 and sl st in first st to form a ring,
R1: *sc, inc* repeat from * to * around (27)
R2: sc in each st around (27)
R3: *2sc, inc* repeat from * to * around (36)
R4-10: sc in each st around (36)
R11: *2sc, dec* repeat from * to * around (27)
R12: sc in each st around (27)
R13: *1sc, dec* repeat from * to * around (18)
R14: sc in each st around (18)
Fasten off.
Leave a long tail for sewing the donut together. You will pinch the starting chain (18) and ending R14 (18) and sew the donut base closed. You will stuff as you sew.
ICING PATTERN
With color of your choice,
Ch 18 and sl st in first st to form a ring,
R1: *sc, inc* repeat from * to * around (27)
Leave a long tail for sewing. Sew the icing onto the donut base.
ICING PATTERN
With color of your choice,
Ch 18 and sl st in first st to form a ring,
R1: *sc, inc* repeat from * to * around (27)
R2: sc in each st around (27)
R3: *2sc, inc* repeat from * to * around (36)
R4: sc in each st around (36)
Now you will start form your icing drops. To form these just work either 2-3 dcs in the same st or work 2-3 trs in the same st. Work the drops randomly around.
R5: sc in each st around (remember to work the drops in some sts)
Fasten off.
And now the fun part! You can either decorate your donuts with beads, just glue them on or you can cut stripes of yarn and glue them on! Just use your imagination!:)
These donuts are really fun to make! If you decide to make your own I'd love to see and you're more than welcome to share a photo on Facebook orTwitter!
Enjoy the rest of your day!
These look jammie. These never ending donuts keeps me slim.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pattern.
Dear greetings, Margaret
Thank you Margaret!
DeleteThese looks awesome! How big are they? If they're small I might try making a donut necklace.

Hey Hayley,
DeleteWhat a great idea! They're actually not that small! They're approx. 9 cm long so they would look huge! But if you tweak the number of sts per round (e.g. try chaining 12 to start off) it might work!
They are wonderful! I love the ones with the sprinkles on!
ReplyDeleteThanks! They're my favorite too!:)
DeleteLOVE! & Ditto! A definite necklace pendant!
ReplyDeleteI love crocheted food and your donuts are pretty cool! I guess I will make them, too. :D
ReplyDeleteThanks! I would love to see your version!:)
DeleteThey look so real! Nicely done :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!:)
DeleteThese are fun I love them, thanks for sharing. Julie.C
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely and so so cute! I can't resist a zero calorie donut :)
ReplyDeleteJust a note, on R13 of the base, I think you meant sc, dec around, not 2sc dec around. That will give you an even decrease to the final 18 stitches. Otherwise, awesome pattern!
Thank you so much Molly!
DeleteYes, you're right! R13 should be 1 sc, dec! Thanks!:)
Thank you for the pattern ❤
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you liked it!:)
DeleteYummy zero calorie .Luv u
ReplyDeleteSo sweet!! Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteHi! thank you for this pattern. What does * mean? Sorry I'm just new in amigurumi. Thank you :)
ReplyDeleteHi, nice pattern, I'll use this as a guide for my little amigurumi donut. I'm planning to make donut keychains. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi, it's me again. I decided to make donuts bracelets, instead, lol. I posted it here:

and I mentioned you in my blog and posted your link. Thanks for the lovely pattern.
How do you sew the inside of the donut hole together?
ReplyDeleteWhat does * to * mean? A friend gave me a link to this pattern and I just can't figure it out on my own!
ReplyDeleteHey there,
DeleteFor example Round 1 says: R1: *sc, inc* repeat from * to * around (27)
You have to repeat the following sequence of stitches, sc, inc, in each stitch around.
If you notice the sequence repetition of each round is within the * symbol.
Hope this helps!
Happy making!
Hi. In new to crocheting. Im a little confused on what Sc,inc means in round 1. Is that single crochet and increase? So i am doing 2 sc in each stitch? If so, then the next round should have 54 singles crochets stitches?
ReplyDeleteAh i got it! Its Sc,2sc..i was thinking the Sc and Inc were in the same stitches.
