Making The Crochet Donut Bag Charm
Materials Needed:
- 2 colours of plush yarn or any yarn (one for the donut body and one for the frosting)
- Yarn of different colors for sprinkles
- 3.5 mm crochet hook (adjust according to yarn)
- Wide-eyed sewing needle (preferably plastic)
- Scissors
- Fiberfill for stuffing
- Keychain basis and metal ring
- Narrow nosed pliers
Step by step Pattern
Foundation and Outer Circle:
- Start by making 18 chain stitches.
- Form a circle and connect the ends with a slip stitch, changing the color for the frosting in the process.
- Crochet a single crochet stitch in each stitch around, totaling 18 stitches. Hide the yarn tails as you go.
Frosting Rounds:
- Round 1: 2 single crochet stitches followed by an increase, repeat six times (24 stitches total).
- Round 2: 3 single crochet stitches followed by an increase, repeat six times (30 stitches total).
- Round 3: 4 single crochet stitches followed by an increase, repeat six times (36 stitches total).
- Round 4: 5 single crochet stitches followed by an increase, repeat six times (42 stitches total). This concludes the frosting rounds.
Middle Section:
- Change color to the donut’s base color in the last stitch of Round 4 and cut the white yarn.
- Crochet the next round into Back Loops Only, 42 stitches (indicating the separation between frosting and donut base).
- Crochet three even rounds, one single crochet in each stitch around, for a total of 9 rounds.
Decrease Rounds (Shaping the Donut):
- Round 1: 5 single crochet stitches followed by a decrease, repeat six times (36 stitches total).
- Round 2: 4 single crochet stitches followed by a decrease, repeat six times (30 stitches total).
- Round 3: 3 single crochet stitches followed by a decrease, repeat six times (24 stitches total).
- Round 4: 2 single crochet stitches followed by a decrease, repeat six times (18 stitches total).
Finishing:
- Cut the thread, leaving a long tail for sewing. Sew the edges together, leaving a small opening.
- Stuff the donut firmly, then sew the opening closed completely.
- Fasten the thread securely and weave in any remaining yarn tails.
Sprinkles:
- Attach yarn of different colours and make simple stitches randomly over the frosting part for sprinkles. Secure and weave in all ends.
Keychain Attachment:
- Attach the metal ring to the keychain basis first if they are separate.
- Using pliers, open the ring and insert the keychain basis, then attach it to the donut by inserting the ring through at least two stitches of the amigurumi.
- Close the ring securely.
