Instructions For Donut Bottom (worked in buff):

Ch 10, then join in the ch furthest from the hook.

Row 1: Ch 4, then work 32 tr into the center of the ring.

Row 2: Ch 4, then work a tr into the first st, then *work 2 tr into the next st, then 1 tr into the next st.  Repeat from * around, then join with a sl st to close the round.

Weave in ends.

Instructions For Donut Frosting (worked in pink and/or mint):

  • Ch 12, then join in the ch furthest from the hook.
  • Row 1: Ch 4, then work 32 dc into the center of the ring.
  • Row 2: Ch 4, then work a dc into the first st, then *work 2 dc into the next st, then 1 dc into the next st.  Repeat from * around, then join with a sl st to close the round.
  • Weave in ends.

Instructions for Donut Assembly:


Stack the bottom and the icing top on one another.  With a matching piece of yarn from the top color, sew them together with a simple running stitch.  Be sure the center holes are lined up as you work.

Instructions for Sprinkles:

  • Using two contrasting yarn colors, sew “sprinkles” onto your donuts in a random pattern like real sprinkles would be scattered across. 
  • Try to keep each sprinkle an equal length and place them as randomly as possible.

Instructions for Turning Your Donuts Into A Garland:

  • Line up your donuts as desired.
  • Using one of the yarn colors from the icing top (I used the mint color), chain 30 for the handle/hanging tie, then work a slip stitch into the back loops only in the the topmost 4 stitches of the first donut. 
  • Chain 12, then add a second donut the same way (a slip stitch in the back loop only into the 4 topmost stitches of the donut). 
  • Repeat for the rest of your donuts. 
  • After the last donut is incorporated into the garland, chain 30 to create a handle/hanging tie for the other side.
