Tiny Little Doughnuts

If you're looking for a unique and functional knitting project, this adorable doughnut pattern is perfect for you! Originally designed to fit snugly into the pocket of my dungarees pattern, this delightful little doughnut is a charming addition that adds a touch of whimsy to your wardrobe. While it may be a bit tight, it just about fits, making it an ideal accessory.

Throughout my creative process, I experimented with various prototypes, striving to make the doughnut even smaller. However, my attempts led to less-than-circular results. This means that the current size is the smallest I could achieve while maintaining the doughnut shape. For best results, I recommend using very thin needles, specifically 2.25mm (US 1), to ensure that your finished doughnut fits comfortably into your dungaree pocket. If you plan to use this doughnut as a pocket accessory, please opt for a thin 4ply yarn along with the 2.25mm/US 1 needles. Remember to check your gauge and avoid overstuffing to preserve the intended fit.

Alternatively, if you prefer to use the doughnut as a stand-alone item, the size becomes less critical. In this case, you can choose to knit it using DK weight yarn paired with 3mm needles, resulting in a slightly larger and equally delightful doughnut. Whether you decide to create a charming accessory for your dungarees or a lovable stand-alone piece, this doughnut pattern is sure to bring joy to your knitting journey.
