Crochet Donut Granny Square

Create a charming crochet design by incorporating a donut motif into a classic granny square pattern. This unique combination adds a fun and playful twist to the traditional crochet square, making it a delightful project for crafters of all skill levels. To achieve this look, start by crocheting a standard granny square using your favorite yarn colors. Then, instead of continuing with the typical square pattern, switch to a circular shape to create the donut center. This can be achieved by following a simple round pattern that mimics the shape of a donut. Whether you use it as a standalone piece or incorporate it into a larger project, this creative design is sure to impress anyone who sees it.


Materials

-Worsted weight yarn in beige, chocolate, mint, and a small amount of variegated pink (I used Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice for all of these)
-Size H crochet hook
-Tapestry needle

Donut:
Begin with a slip knot in beige, Ch 10, sl st in first Ch to form a ring
Round 1: Work 12 Dc in the ring, sl st to join, Ch 2
Round 2: 2 Dc in each st around (24 sts), sl st to join, Ch 1
Round 3: *2 Sc in first st, Sc in next st*, repeat from * around, sl st to join, finish off, weave ends
Frosting:
Begin with a slip knot in chocolate (or any other color for frosting), Ch 10, sl st in first Ch to form a ring

Round 1: Work 12 Dc in the ring, sl st to join, Ch 2

Round 2: *3 Dc in first st, sl st in next st*, repeat from * around, sl st to join, finish off leaving a long tail for sewing

Sprinkles:
Using a piece of variegated yarn (or several smaller pieces of multicolored yarns), thread a tapestry needle and sew on “sprinkles” about 1cm long all the way around the frosting, finish off, weave ends.

*At this point use your long frosting tail to sew sprinkled frosting onto donut base.

Granny Square:
Round 1: With new color, sl st into top right corner of donut, all in the same st: CH 2, 2 DC, CH 3, 3 DC, CH 1, skip 3 sts, 3 DC in next st, CH 1, *3 DC, CH 3, 3 DC, CH 1, skip 3 sts, 3 DC in next st, CH 1*, repeat from * twice more forming a square, sl st to beginning CH 2
Rounds 2-3: Continue in this same manner – in corners 3 DC, CH 3, 3 DC, CH 1 and in all other CH spaces 3 DC, CH 1, finish off, weave ends

And there you have the donut granny square!
