Free Amigurumi Crochet Pattern: Mini Donuts


These Mini Donuts crochet up quick and they are fun to make! A fun toy to play with. The patten here is for a plain donut with strawberry frosting, but you can use different yarns for different kind of donuts (how about brown for chocolate donut?). I hope you'll enjoy them!


When finished, the Amigurumi mini donut measures 2 inches (5.08 cm) across and 3/4 inches (1.9 cm) high.
