Hey, you!
Welcome back.
It’s nice to see you.
Today I have what may be my favorite of all the Bake Shop Squares…
a donut!
Donuts are my favorite. They’re more than my favorite. They’re in a league of their own.
The donut league.
If I ever play a sport, that’s what the team name will be.
But seriously guys, if you know me you know that donuts are my thing.
My best friend manages a cute little island donut shop so I basically had to make this square.
I have made the donut itself before when she asked me to make her some crochet donuts to go with her Christmas decorations at the shop last year!
I really just added a granny square to that pattern and voila! Donut granny square.
I hope you guys love this one as much as I do!Here is the handy video tutorial!
