Crochet Donut Brooch

The idea for this project came from a few things. It started one day when I came across this fun DIY Donut Purse on Studio DIY. I loved the idea of a donut as an accessory and was daydreaming about how I could crochet a donut bag.

As I usually tend to do, I asked Jason if he thought a donut bag would be cool, like the Boba Fett and Goron bags.

"What about the donut hole? I don't think that would work out so well."

I agreed he might be right but I would continue brainstorming and maybe experiment with a pin instead, perhaps using plastic canvas?

A few days later, after I'd forgotten all about making a donut bag, I saw this crochet rose earring tutorial on Fiber Flux. She used embroidery thread to crochet roses! Embroidery thread!

As it was my first time seeing anyone crochet with embroidery floss I was blown away.

Of course, I immediately brought out my box of thread - so many lovely colors, just sitting there -  and all of a sudden the thought struck - a crochet donut brooch!

The making of a crochet donut brooch

Once I knew I'd be making a donut I did a quick search for a pattern and found this awesome donut pattern on Little Things Blogged.

But instead of using regular yarn, I used embroidery thread and a size 2.00mm crochet hook.

Also, in Rounds 4-10 of the base I only worked even until Round 8, and for the icing, I only did Rounds 1-3.

Before sewing the icing to the base I stitched on some sprinkles.

Lastly, I sewed a pin to the back. Sweet!
