Crochet Donut Buddies - Rachel Zain

From Rachel Zain, Crochet Donut Buddies is a paperback craft book published by David & Charles. It brings together 50 easy amigurumi patterns for collectible crochet ring toys, with designs that turn a basic crochet doughnut into animals, seasonal characters and other playful figures.

Created by the founder of Oodles of Crochet, the patterns were developed for the author’s non-verbal autistic son. The book covers the stitches needed for the doughnut base, more than 50 transformation ideas, and suggestions for storytelling, role play, counting and sorting games. Finished doughnuts measure around 5in (12.5 cm) in diameter, and the patterns can be adapted with squeakers, rattles, crinkles and bells for sensory details.
