You can buy this pattern for C$6, or get it for half price if you also but the pattern for Morning Joe, the coffee cup.

After publishing the pattern for Joe the Coffee Cup I polled my twitter followers to ask what they wanted me to make for Valentine’s Day. The overwhelming winner of the vote was: doughnuts. Which makes sense because really, what is coffee without doughnuts?

Denny is a mini doughnut - only 2.5 inches wide and would make an adorable Valentine’s gift, stocking stuffer or teacher’s gift.

To complete this pattern, you’ll need:

DK weight yarn: in doughnut and icing colours plus scraps for sprinkles
Size E (3.5mm) crochet hook
7.5mm black safety eyes
polyester stuffing
Tapestry needle

This pattern is a little fiddly in places because of the doughnut’s shape and small size. However, it is relatively easy in terms of stitches required - mostly single crochet, increases and decreases with the edge of the icing a combination of tall and short stitches. A good project for a confident beginner looking for something quick to make and a wee bit of a challenge.
