Tips for a Neat and Tasty-Looking Donut
For a perfectly round donut, count your stitches carefully on the increase rounds and weave the center hole closed with gentle, even tension. Surface-crochet or embroider the sprinkles in random directions for a realistic frosting look. The police cap and badge are small but important: attach them last, positioning the hat at a slight angle for extra personality.

Care Instructions
Spot clean your police donut with a damp cloth and a drop of mild soap whenever it needs freshening up. For a deeper clean, hand wash in cold water and air dry flat, avoiding heat which can distort the frosting details and felt pieces. Keep the keychain out of heavy rain so the colors stay bright and cheerful for years.
