PATTERN NOTES
This donut was made in two parts – each part starting with chains followed by continuous
single crochet rounds and stitched together using a whipstitch method.
Finished donut measures approximately 7.5cm (3inches) in diameter. Any variations to
hook size and yarn weight will result in a different sized donut.

DONUT – PART 1
Use colour A.
Start with a long tail and chain 15. Join to the first ch
from the hook with a single crochet.
Rnd 1: sc around (15 sts)
Rnd 2: inc every 3rd st (20 sts)
Rnd 3: inc every 4th st (25 sts)
Rnd 4: inc every 5th st (30 sts)
Rnd 5: inc every 6th st (35 sts)
Rnd 6 – 7: sc around (35 sts)
Sl st, f/o and leave a long tail for sewing.
DONUT – PART 2
Use colour B.
Do the same as Part 1 although you don’t need to leave a long tail for both ends.
ASSEMBLY
Flip both donut parts inside out. Insert the tail end from
the inner ring of Part 1 into your yarn needle and align
to the inner ring of Part 2. Begin to whipstitch both
parts together and when you’ve reached the end,
secure with a tight knot. Snip off excess yarn.
Turn the donuts back to the correct side and using the
long tail end from Part 1, begin to whipstitch the donut
together. For this particular whipstitch method, insert
the needle under both loops from Part 1 then insert the
needle under the front loop from Part 2. Continue to
stitch together and fill with toy stuffing as you go. Do
not over fill. Finally, when you have finished filling and
stitching the donut, make sure to hide all the yarn ends.
Donut is now ready! Make as many and in different
colours as you like. Create sprinkles by stitching
different coloured yarn in an uneven pattern on top of
the donut. Or make a chocolate swirl and use fabric
glue to glue on top of the donut.
