DIRECTIONS Gauge 9 sts x 11 rows in sc with larger hook = 4" (10 cm). Take time to check gauge. Finished Size 26" (6 cm) diameter x 15" (38 cm) high Notes: 1) If you’ve never crocheted a donut shape before, it is recommended to do a trial run through the pattern with regular worsted weight yarn and an H hook. 2) Donut is worked from the inner hole to the outer edge, and then back to the hole. 3) RS shows on outside of donut.

Do not join, rather work in a continuous spiral. Rnds 2–15: Sc in each sc around. Rnd 16: [(2 sc) in next sc, sc in next 5 sc] 9 times—63 sc. Rnd 17: [(2 sc) in next sc, sc in next 6 sc] 9 times—72 sc. Rnd 18: [(2 sc) in next sc, sc in next 7 sc] 9 times—81 sc. Rnd 19: [(2 sc) in next sc, sc in next 8 sc] 9 times—90 sc.

Rnd 26: [(2 sc) in next sc, sc in next 15 sc] 9 times—153 sc. Rnd 27: [(2 sc) in next sc, sc in next 16 sc] 9 times—162 sc. Rnds 28–33: Sc in each sc around. Rnd 34: Sc in each sc around, join with sl st in next st. Rnd 35: Working in FLO, sl st in each st around, keeping sts loose and even, join with sl st in 1st sl st. Fasten off A. Join B. Rnd 36: Working in BLO, sc in each st in rnd 34. Do not join. (Photo 1). Rnds 37–41: Sc in each sc around. Rnd 42: Sc in each sc around, join with sl st in next st. Fasten off B. Join C. Rnds 43–44: Sc in each sc around. Rnd 45: Sc in each sc around, join with sl st in next st. Fasten off C. Join B. Rnds 46–59: Sc in each sc around. Rnd 60: [invdec, sc in next 16 sc] 9 times—153 sc. Rnd 61: [invdec, sc in next 15 sc] 9 times—144 sc. Rnd 62: [invdec, sc in next 14 sc] 9 times—135 sc. Rnd 63: [invdec, sc in next 13 sc] 9 times—126 sc.

Rnd 71: [invdec, sc in next 5 sc] 9 times—54 sc. Rnds 72–90: Sc in each sc around, join with sl st in next st. Fasten off, leaving a tail 1 yd (1 m) long for sewing (Photo 2). Weave in short end of foundation ch.
Sprinkles (make 22) With smaller hook and desired color, ch 3, join with sl st to 1st ch to form ring. Place marker for beg of rnd. Rnd 1: Ch 1, work 8 sc in ring—8 sc. Do not join, rather work in a continuous spiral. Rnd 2: Sc in each sc around. Rep rnd 2, stuffing lightly as you go, until piece is 3.5" (9 cm) long, join with sl st in next st. Fasten off, leaving a tail 24" (61 cm) long. Thread tail through 8 sts and pull to close. Weave in the short end.
Assembly Whipstitch the last rnd of donut to foundation ch, using 1 yd (1 m) of A at a time and stuffing donut as you go. (Photo 3). Sew 10 sts at a time and be sure that stuffing is full and smooth before sewing further. Sew sprinkles to donut as desired.
