Hello fellow crocheters,
I don't know about you, but I love donuts! They're adorable AND yummy, wouldn't you agree?
Sometimes with the beautiful but meticulous art of amigurumi, it's hard to start and finish a project in a timely manner. My art dolls usually take at least 15-20 hours to make, depending on the doll's size and the amount of detail that is added.
Emerie the Emerald Princess is one of my larger dolls, and she took quite a long time to make!
She is quite tempted by these sweet treats beside her, though~
This miniature, 1-1/2 inch doughnut has been tested by a few wonderful crocheters (click here to see the pattern test results) and it was reported to take from less-than-an-hour to an hour to make!
And guess what, this cute treat is the perfect size to turn into a keychain, a necklace charm, or even as a prop for your amigurumi doll to hold!
As you can see, Remi the Rabbit is also a fan of this tasty snack!

~ CROCHET INSTRUCTIONS ~
Donut Top
Use Color A yarn (pink).Ch 12.
R1: Join by inserting a sc in the first ch. Insert a sc in each of the next 11 ch. (12 sts)

R3: (Sc 3, inc) x 4. (20 sts)
R4: (Sc 4, inc) x 4. (24 sts)
R5: Sc around. (24 sts)
Fasten off with a long tail for sewing to the donut bottom.
Donut Bottom
Use Color B yarn (light brown).Ch 12.
R1-R5: Repeat instructions for “Donut Top.”
Fasten off. No need for a long tail.
~ FINISHING INSTRUCTIONS ~
1. Using a yarn needle and desired yarn colors for the sprinkles, sew small specks of sprinkles on your donut top.
2. Flip both pieces to the wrong side. Match up the inner hole of the donut top with the inner hole of the donut bottom. Using Color A yarn (pink), sew the inner holes together, stitch by stitch (12 sts total).
3. Flip the pieces back to the right side. Using the long yarn tail from the donut top, sew both pieces together. (I sewed through both loops of the donut bottom and just the back loop of the donut top to create a slight brim texture.) Stuff the donut as you sew, making sure you stuff firmly but be careful not to stretch the stitches. Once done, fasten off and weave in the ends.
That's it, you're done!
