I’ve been gluten-free (not by choice) for about 2 years now. Ah, I miss donuts. My kids love them and have requested them for birthdays in leu of cake a few times.
Donuts are such a lovely dessert because they are both delicious and darn adorable.

Even though I can’t eat donuts (the GF ones just aren’t the same), I can still enjoy their cute aesthetic! These crochet donut coasters are a cute way to add faux-sugary, whimsical fun to your decor.

When looking through my stash, I knew I wanted to use Shine for these coasters. It’s one of my very favorite cotton yarns. For one, Shine has a color palette of 300 colors so it usually has exactly what I need. It also has a luxurious silky sheen and soft feel to it that I adore. It’s blended with Modal all-natural beechwood fiber.

I decided to go with classic flavors colors: Cream, Blush and Coffee. I also found a slightly lighter brown called Thicket in my stash after I took this photo so I used that one too. I have dark chocolate and milk chocolate!

Where can you get this fabulously silky and soft cotton yarn? At WeCrochet! Not only do they have a vast array of affordable everyday yarns, fabulous and gorgeous dyed yarns and luxurious fiber yarns, they also have crochet-specific accessories! You need to check out WeCrochet!

These crochet donuts were pretty fun to decorate. At first I thought it would be neat to use those long barrel-shaped seed beads as sprinkles, but the ones I had were too tiny and I couldn’t fit my needle through the hole.

I scrapped that idea and decided to simply sew on the sprinkle shapes with yarn. I tried both yarn and embroidery thread and they both turned out great. You can decide which look you prefer and go with it.

I also decided to make these crochet donut coasters double-layered. I like my coasters to be substantial, but you are welcome to make yours with just one layer. Simply skip making the second layer and go straight to attaching the icing to the one layer.

CONSTRUCTION:

Place the crochet donut halves wrong sides together, with the attached half on the back. Pull the loop through the top layer. Sl st all around the outside, sewing the two donut halves together. Tie off.

Using the long tail you began with, hand sew around the inside hole, sewing the two layers together. Tie off.



Next, add the sprinkles or toppings to the icing pieces. I liked the look of both embroidery thread and yarn, so just choose which one you prefer. Simply sew in and out in a random pattern so it looks like sprinkles.

You can also mix it up with different colored yarns to have rainbow sprinkles!


I tried sewing a line that looks like a frosting drizzle! To do this a bit more authentically, make sure the line looks like the drizzle goes across the hole and back, instead of zig-zagging up one side of the hole and down the other.

Once your icing pieces are decorated, you can attach them to your crochet donuts. You can use your long tail to sew them on, or you can weave in all your ends and simply hot glue it in place. I used hot glue and its worked perfectly.
For best results, glue around the inside hole first, then work your way around the outside of the icing, putting your glue as close to the outside as possible without it squishing out. Use small lines of glue or even dot shapes all around the outside.

      Thank you! I generally feel better with cotton, it’s the most absorbent, but you can certainly try with whatever you have on hand!
