Donut Pincushion Pattern

[livedinalaska]

Breakfast of champions!

 

Just made this and LOVE it! Will have to make a few more flavors and send a 1/2 dozen to someone as a gift. They are too fun to not make more!

Just saw this pattern and I am SO making one tonight! It will make a great Christmas gift for my aunt....fellow crocheter who also sews! Perfect! And I can use the yarn left over from my gingerbread man ornament to make it. Even better!

One must needs pay attention though and not eat while sewing lest one should eat the pincushion by mistake *eeeewwww* Very very cute.

I love it! I've just finished a project and have a bunch of leftover beige yarn. The perfect color for a donut! I can't wait to make this, although I have several Christmas presents that need to be finished first... =)

[yarnjeannie]

This donut will go perfect with the Homer Simpson doll I am going to crochet for my art festival in September. Thanks for sharing!

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

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

Finish off, leaving long tail for sewing

Fold so first and last rows meet, forming a donut

ICING (optional)

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

Thank You very much!

I love this pattern. I've made it with an F hook and an E hook and I crochet quite tightly and they've turned out great. I've sewn 'sprinkles' on to the icing as they're a bit small for a pin cushion. I'm so glad, as I am bored with cup cakes and I always seem to be being asked to provide something for a cake sale for charity. I can't cook and can crochet, so...

[Katy_Ravensong]

Hey, that looks good enough to eat LOL! I've got to make one - and get some of the colored pins to go in it. Thanks.

[ShilohsNamma]

Love it! I must have one for my sewing room.
