Notes
The frosting (i.e. top of the donut pillow) is made with 2 strand of yarns. When changing yarn colour, don't worry if it seems a bit loose, you just need to pull the back of the yarn on the wrong side if that happens. Once the frosting is completed, we will tie a knot at the back to secure. If you're struggling with this, you can always check out our how to join yarn and change colours in crochet tutorial.
