Pattern

Create the original donut body as per the basic donut pattern, in green
BUT:
- don't embroider the sprinkles yet; we'll do it at the end

Eyes - make 2

R1: 6 SC in a MR
R2: 6 inc (12)
R3: 12 SC
R4: (2 SC, dec) x 3 (9)

Close with a sl st. Cut the yarn, leaving a tail for sewing.
Attach the safety eyes between R2 and R3 on each eye.

Assembly

Sew the eyes on to the top of the donut, at the seam of the two donut halves. The eyes should be about 5 or 6 sts apart.

Embroider the mouth using black medium weight yarn (I like to have the top of the mouth between R4 and R5, and the bottom point of the mouth to be between R3 and R4)

Embroider the cheeks using pink yarn.

Embroider the sprinkles randomly around the donut as desired.

Crochet Fruit Pouch - Free Crochet Pattern

This is a crochet pattern to make this adorable drawstring fruit pouch. You can make it in all sorts of colours to make different fruits!

Pictured I have a peach and a lemon. Use dark purple to make a plum, orange to make an orange, green or red to make an apple, or even pink with white to make dragon fruit. The options are endless...

With this plush yarn, the pouch is large enough to fit a lipstick and some AirPods, to fit easily inside your purse. The lemon I made, using Hobbii Baby Snuggle, measures at 14cmx14cm. The peach I made, using Premier Parfait Chunky, measures at 16cmx16cm. If you use thicker yarn and a bigger hook, it could even fit your phone.
