Delicious Desserts C2C CAL: The C2C Donut Afghan Square

Square 2! Who’s excited for square 2 of this year’s Delicious Desserts CAL? I know I am. And honestly, I knew as soon as I decided on this theme that February’s (the month of love after all) square would be a donut. I just knew it in my heart. So say hello to the C2C Donut Afghan Square .
I love a good donut! I will scream that loud and far (and if you’ve been following my Instagram for a while you’ve probably seen them in more than a few photos). I’m actually very fortunate to have a local donut shop that makes a killer glazed and sprinkled, I just love them. The best glaze ever, I swear. Ok, enough about the shop because it’s closed right now and I couldn’t possibly get one and that breaks my heart. Anyway… where was I? Oh, right, this donut makes me so happy and it lets me celebrate the most consistent Valentine’s Day gift I give my hubby, a box of squishy donuts.

So yeah, I hope you get a kick out of this fun little square. It’s very much a video game inspired donut (it’s not perfectly round and I say that’s just artistic license) which goes so well with last month’s silly little donut. I can’t wait to keep going on this. I pulled out my Coffee C2C one the other day and man, I’m telling you it’s so cozy and it’s just too cute. I am so proud of that one and I bet by the end of the year you’ll be proud of this blanket too.

I hope you like this year’s theme and join in using the hashtag #DeliciousDessertsC2CCAL and #DivineDebris so I can share your makes!

Please note: I was provided the yarn for this pattern by Lion Brand Yarn for the purposes of making the C2C Donut Afghan Square, without compensation. I wasn’t provided the yarn with the expectations of positive or negative reviews but I did enjoy using this yarn, I’ve used it many times and it’s always a great worsted acrylic yarn.

• Each C2C block consists of 3 double crochets and a ch-3. The directions will only tell you what color (ie: Color A, Color B, etc…) and the number tells you how many blocks to make.
