How to Crochet Donut Cats Tutorial for Kids

Looking for the most FUN way to crochet a cat amigurumi for a FOODIE? Learn how to crochet this oh-so cute amigurumi donut cat keychain that will make a perfect fidget toy for a little ones. You can crochet it in orange or pink or your favorite donut flavor such as the chocolate or pistachio, too. I like the stripes of the tail, the cute embroidery face and the tiny arms. You will first learn how to crochet the no-sew donut amigurumi, then the smaller parts.

So, it will require sewing multiple small parts such as the arms, legs and the ears. You can also add the embroidery sprinkles and make the stripes in the donut body, too. For a more huggable plushie, you can also crochet it using the chenille yarn. Now, let me explain you this project in more details!
