Donut Ornament
These donuts are knit using size 1 (2.25 mm) DPN needles and Aunt Lydia’s crochet thread in Fashion 3 weight. If you decide to do the same, you’ll end up with a donut that’s about 2” in diameter and 1/2” high.
As for additional supplies, you’ll need a small amount of batting to stuff the donut; beads, a beading needle and beading cord if you want to add sprinkles; a needle for assembly; and ribbon or cord from which to suspend the donut, if you want to make an ornament.
It also helps to have a crochet hook, chopstick, or similar tool to assist with the stuffing process.
The donut is knit in one piece and the frosting/icing is knit separately then attached.
Here are the techniques you’ll need:
Knit-in-the-Round
Cast On (CO)
Knit (K)
Purl (P)
Knit Front and Back (Kfb)
Knit Two Together (K2tog)
I-Cord
Bind Off
