Leave enough space between them for the three stripes. Arms (make 2) R1: 6 sc in magic ring (6) R2-3: sc all around (6) Tie off, leaving a yarn end for sewing on the body later. We first have to sew on the donut. Legs (make 2) R1: 6 sc in magic ring (6) R2: (1 sc, inc) x3 (9) R3: Sc all around (9) Tie off, leaving a yarn end for sewing to the body. Sew the feet onto the body.Tail The tail is dark grey/light grey striped. We start with dark grey yarn. R1: 6 sc in magic ring (6) R2-3: sc all around (6) Switch to light grey yarn. R4-6: 6 sc around (6) Switch back to dark grey yarn. R7-9: 6 sc around Switch back to light grey yarn. R10-12: 6 sc around Tie off leaving a yarn end and sew the tail onto the body so that it goes to one side. See picture: ay? :Stripes on back (make 2) With dark grey yarn ch 15 R1: sc in second chain from hook and in next 13 stitches, at the end of the row, chain 1 (14) R2: turn and continue to sc 14 on other side of the chain (14) Slipstitch in next stitch. Tie off leaving a yarn end for sewing onto the back. Sew both stripes on the back with a little distance between them as you can see in the picture above. Stripes on head (make 3) Take a long peace of dark grey yarn. Take the yarn double, and stitch three long stitches across the head. Go over each stitch two times. Tie off, hide yarn. Nose/mouth With black embroidery floss sew on mouth and nose the way you see it in the picture.Donut: The free pattern is by genuinemudpie, you can find it here: Donut Pattern Now sew the donut to the body, then sew on the hands directly next to it. Congrats! You now have created a pusheen with donut! Show me your creation by linking me (@rxy_crochet) in your Instagram-picture! This is actually more like a recipe than a pattern. My donut turns out to be just shy of an inch across. You can make it smaller or larger by using a lighter (fingering, embroider thread?) or heavier (worsted) yarn, and changing hook size accordingly (2mm for finer yarn and 3.5mm for worsted, for example). You can also make a larger donut by increasing the number of beginning ch by multiples of 2, and repeating row 3 a couple of times (more about that in the recipe below). I wouldn't start with fewer stitches than what the “recipe” calls for though, it can be really tricky to manage such small number of stitches. initially developed this recipe to make donut earrings for my shop. It took a few attempts to get the size right and the icing looking the way I wanted. I think I’ve perfected the recipe now :) AND! The entire donut is only made of 5 rows! You can make an army of them in an evening :DT used: Small amount of sport weight yarn in donut and icing colours (tan, brown, pink, yellow, white, etc.) Embroidery thread in sprinkle colours 3mm hook, 2.5mm hook or smaller (for pulling in ends) Needles for sewing and embroidering Recipe: Round 1: With donut colour (i.e. tan), ch 8, join with first ch to form ring. NOTE: The side that is facing you (i.e. the front of the work) is the INSIDE of the donut. For the first 3 rounds you're working with the inside of the donut facing you. So the back of the work is the outside of the donut. Here I have finished the first 3 rounds of the donut, crocheting with the inside facing me.Here is what the outside of the donut looks like after the first 3 rounds.Round 2: ch 1 (does not count as a stitch), sc in first ch, 2 sc in next ch, [sc in next ch, 2 sc in next ch] around, s! st in first sc to join (12 sc). Round 3: ch 1, sc in each sc around, sl st in first sc to join (12 sc). NOTE: If you’remaking a larger donut and started with a few more beginning ch’s, you can repeat round 3 one or two more times. Round 4: Attach icing colour, fasten off donut colour. TURN (now you're working with the outside of the donut facing you), ch 1, sl st in each sc around in the front loop only, st st in first sl st to join (12 sl st). (Be careful not to pull too tight while making the sl st in this round, otherwise the next row would be difficult.) Here I'm working on found 4, inserting my hook in the front loop of a stitch.NOTE: If you’remaking a larger donut and started with more beginning ch’s, you can repeat round 3 one or two more times with icing colour before starting round 5. Round 5: ch 1, TURN (now you're working with the inside of the donut facing you again), working in the front loop only, sc in first st, 2 sc tog over next 2 st, [sc in next st, 2 sc tog over next 2 st] around, sl st in first sc to join (8 sc), leaving a long tail for sewing, fasten off. Sew the final icing round to the first donut round using whip stitch, matching the stitches.Donut: The free pattern is by genuinemudpie, you can find it here: Donut Pattern Now sew the donut to the body, then sew on the hands directly next to it.

Sew the final icing round to the first donut round using whip stitch, matching the stitches.I find it really difficult to sew the donut together with stuffing inside, and because the donut is so tiny I don’t feel it needs stuffing. I just pull all the yarn ends into the donut with a crochet hook after it’s sewn together. Embroider sprinkles to your heart’s content :) Pull all yarn ends and thread ends into the inside of the donut with a small crochet hook. And here we have it, a tiny donut! :DIf you're making these donuts, let me know what flavours you're making, I’d love to see them! :D Hope you have a wonderfully sparkling weekend! :D *throws glitter*
