nevadamama Posted August 26, 2006 (edited) DONUT PINCUSHION This one is a little bigger than the original donut, so the pins don't stick out the bottom. I used RH SS yarn but I would think any yarn would work. I crocheted it with a H hook but I crochet loosely, you may find another hook size better. FYI ------This hasn't been tested and I've never written a pattern before. THIS PATTERN CAN'T BE SOLD ..............but the pattern may be copied and the item may be sold. Materials Yarn: any brown for donut - any white for frosting Hook: H or any you prefer Polyester filling Straight pins with colored heads Chain 18 Join to form ring R1: sc in each chain around (do not join, mark beginning of every row) R2: *1 sc, 2 sc in next sc* Repeat to end of row R3: sc R4: *1 sc, 2 sc in next sc* Repeat to end of row R5- R10: sc R11: *1 sc, dec in next sc* (sc two sc together) Repeat to end of row R12: sc R13: *1 sc, dec in next sc* Repeat to end of row R14: sc Finish off, leaving long tail for sewing Fold so first and last rows meet, forming a donut Whip stitch first & last rows together (center of donut) stuffing as you go ICING (optional) Chain 18 Join to form ring Repeat rows 1-4 of donut R:5 sc around, changing sc to 2 dc or 2 tr when needed, to form drips Finish off, leaving long tail for sewing Tack icing to top of donut & add straight pins Edited September 11, 2008 by nevadamama PATTERN NOT FOR SALE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
