I’ve certainly knit my fair share of cupcakes since the start of my crafty adventures, but when time is short and I get orders for a half dozen yarn-based miniature cakes, pronto, the last things I would look for are my knitting needles. My blog is now becoming dominated by crocheted objects, but don’t get me wrong, I still love knitting- It just takes much more time in general, and who has any time these days? Why not just bust out that crochet hook and be able to finish off a full dozen in a day’s time?
This rendition is nothing new, special, or unique, but it’s getting harder and harder to follow ready-made patterns, as my hands tend to deviate so rebelliously that I usually end up with something entirely different by the time I cut the last thread. Instead, I figured it would be safer to start from scratch and write my own pattern, simply for my own convenience. You’ve got about a million other cupcake patterns to choose from on the wonderful web so be sure to check out all of your options, but here’s how I do them…
Cake:
With brown worsted weight yarn and an F hook, sc6 in a circle
Sc twice into each st (12 sts)
Sc1, sc twice into next st* around (18 sts)
Sc2, sc twice into next st* around (24 sts)
Sc into back loops of each st
Sc around
Sc11, sc twice into next st* around (26)
Sc6, sc twice into next st, sc12, sc twice into next st, sc6 (28)
Sc13, sc twice into next st* around (30)
Sc around
Break yarn
Frosting:
Sc6 in a circle
Sc twice into each st (12 sts)
Sc1, sc twice into next st* around (18 sts)
Sc2, sc twice into next st* around (24 sts)
Sc around
Sc3, sc twice into next st* around (30 sts)
Sc around for 3 rounds
Skip one st, 5 dc into next st, skip one st, sl st* around
Break yarn, leaving a long tail to sew with
To assemble, simply sew bugle beads or embroider multicolored “sprinkles” on top of the frosting as desired, stuff, and sew the cake to the edge of the frosting just inside of the scalloped edge. Now wasn’t that easy? Go ahead and make a baker’s dozen; You undoubtedly have enough time!

she didn’t mention a chain r anything….just some circle..
how many do u chain….do u join….what?????
February 9, 2011 at 11:17 am
after you Sc6, you you Sc twice in the very first chain stitch – you are making a spiral circle.
February 12, 2011 at 10:46 pm
I am trying to make a few of these for a cupcake toss game for my grandsughter bday. I am having some problems with the edging coming out to the right amount of stithches. Are there 7 or 8 sallops around the edge. That will help me to figure it out. Thanks!! Tammy
November 8, 2011 at 12:15 pm
I would think rather than a beg circle of 6 sc, a magic circle would be better, exp for the icing
October 9, 2012 at 4:56 pm
Very sweet pattern! I design a lot of my own items,however;it’s very hard to write my designs on paper in the form of instructions. I can,however;draw designs on graff paper and either single crocheted it or crocheted it in the afghan stitch. Several items have been crocheted in the afghan stitch.

I have seen other patterns out there for cupcakes, but this one seems so much easier to understand. I can’t wait to try some of these. I have a lot of birthdays coming up, and these would be perfect presents.
Thanks for sharing! I love that you keep sharing crochet patterns :)

I’ve been such a big fan of your blog for a while, just wanted to let you know how much I love your crochet patterns! Not to mention the cupcake recipes. I know what you mean about crochet being faster than knitting for these kinds of things, I couldn’t immagine making amigurumi by knitting!

These are great! I really like the scalloped edge. And the colors you used are wonderful, I always tend to see crocheted baked goods in pastel and muted colors. It’s just so nice to see some in such bright, cheerful colors. Well done!

Crocheting is so easy and anyone can learn how to do it. I’ve been crocheting since Im seven. It doesn’t matter what your age is, I’m sure I can help you out learning how to crochet is you are really interested in knowing how. Just email me back at my email address and in the subject just write Teach me to Crochet and I will open it up and start you with your first lesson.
I loved the crocheted cupcakes and yes, I have made over 3 dozen of them already. Please feel free to contact me. I will be more then willing to help you out.

Oh these look awesome! Just perfect for my Love’s 1st b-day party with a cupcake theme! I have 1 question though maybe someone can tell me. Do you stuff these? If so what is recommended to use for the stuffing? Everytime I make something with crochet and I stuff it will poly fill it comes out the holes. Any advice and where I can get something liek wool stuffing?
Thanks A lot!

These are so cute but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to make the icing. I can do the cake part but when it comes to making the icing, when it comes to the 6th round of sc3 then sc2 each for 30 stitches, my circle gets all curvy and it never ends up making the domed icing part. Any idea what could be going wrong. Thank you so much for your help!!

Just wanted to say these are awesome and I can’t wait to make them! They are going to make a wonderful addition to my burgeoning pattern collection! :)

this is so cool! Is there any way you can make a video making it?
April 21, 2008 at 9:16 pm
hi- i love this pattern and just made 2 of them! what i’ve been doing to have enough room for all 8 shells on the icing is on the sc around row after all the instructions to sc 15, 2sc in next stitch around to have 32 stitches on both the top and bottom. Do this so its even when you sew it together.

June 25, 2008 at 7:37 pm
I have been crocheting for many, many years, but I’m stuck here. My questions is, what does it mean when you say “sc6 in a circle”? I know that sc means single crochet and I know how to do a single crochet. But don’t you have crochet a chain and join the ends to form a ring before you have someplace to put your single crochets?
This is the cutest crocheted cupcake pattern I’ve seen anywhere, and I really want to make some. So if you could help this foggy-brained women figure this out, I’d surely appreciate it. Thanks.
–Susan C.
July 18, 2011 at 11:43 am
Hey Susan,
What they are trying to tell you is this: You have the yarn on you finger rapped around where the cross over yarn would be, then take your hook and go where your finger is, grap the yarn and pull it though where your finger was, then do your next single crochet 6 times. If you need more help on this, email me at annabelljune1@aol.com, I will be more then happy to help walk you though this. Good Luck.
August 10, 2011 at 9:14 pm
I’m pretty sure the “circle” refers to a magic circle, which allows you to make a circle without a hole inside of it–it’s a real help for anyone who’s doing amigurumi patterns. There are a couple ways to do it, but this is an easy how-to video that I learned on:
July 10, 2008 at 2:50 pm

Susan, you can also do a magic ring-here’s a video on how to do that:

Thanks so much for the pattern. I had to make this in a hurry as my knitting class was having a birthday surprise party for our instructor. We were invited to bring a gift from the heart so I made a cupcake pincushion. It turned out so great even though I haven’t done much crocheting in the last 5 years. I added irridescent bead sprinkles and the colored pearl headed pins. Also, put a steel wool pad inside the top for pins to have a better anchor than fiberfill. Also added a cherry on top. Then I found a spice jar lid that fit in the bottom and anchored a stone to it for weight. My dc’s around the frosting didn’t come out even, but I didn’t have time to fix. She loved it and said she had started a pincushion collection-perfect!

March 14, 2009 at 5:00 pm
I love these. I wanted mine a littel bigger so the bottom would fit in the bottom of a water bottle (maybe I just crochet too tight), so I added a few stitches here and there to make the bottom bigger. These are really cute. It’s good to get back into crocheting. I tried to make the knitted ones (because I knit too), but for the life of me, I could not handle double sided needles with so few beginning stitches, so this is just right! Thanks again.

I sell greeting cards and the company which publishes these cards is currently supporting Children’s Hospices UK’s ‘Butterfly Tea Party’ Appeal. In support of this charity I shall be selling a special collection of our cards featuring fairies, butterflies and cakes at coffee mornings etc where I would like to display (and hopefully sell) ‘cupcakes’ made to your lovely design. I would of course credit your copyright and provide a link to the pattern on this site if you give permission.

Awesome cupcake pattern! I’ve seen a bunch and I’d say these are my fave. I’m making one right now as my first crocheted project ever. I think I might have misunderstood the sc in the back loop bit, but I think it looks ok. I’ll have to ask my teacher about it when I go back to school after winter break.
I was just wondering: do you join the circle you make to start off each piece or do you just crochet it amigurumi style and not join it? I’ve already started mine without joining but an answer would be helpful for future reference, as I plan to make another one as a gift for my four year old cousin. Thanks for an adorable pattern!

My daughter and son-in-law are expecting their first baby and since they didn’t want to find out what the baby’s gender was, they’ve called their baby-to-be “cuppie cake” through out the pregnancy. I found your pattern and fell in love with it. I wanted to show you how perfectly they were for a home-made baby mobile. I used yellow to match the nursery, but on the bottom of each cupcake I used bright varigated yarn to give the baby something to see. Here is a link to the pictures. Thank you again soooo much!!!

April 10, 2010 at 3:21 pm
i’m assuming SC1 means single crochet one time (possibly crochet1? i don’t use that term, so idk), and SC twice means single crochet twice through the same loop/stitch.

Hi there
I’ve made a couple of these and someone has expressed interest in selling them on my behalf. The ones I’ve made are modified from your pattern, I’ve changed the base and the frosting slightly by a few different rows. I also don’t use the sprinkles. I don’t know much about copyright so I thought I should ask. What is the policy? Please email back :)
May 7, 2010 at 3:03 pm
I love these. I made a few changes. I made the top slightly bigger than the bottom. Then I sprayed the insides of both sides with stiffen quick. I put on seed beads for sprinkles, and a big red button at the top. I gave it as a birthday gift… a cupcake box. I put a small gift inside the box.

Thanks for the great pattern! I just made one as a baby gift to coordinate with a burp cloth I sewed, as the fabric had a cupcake design on it. What a fun gift! I added a cherry on top and stitched the sprinkles so there wouldn’t be any choking hazard, and put a rattle inside. Posted a pic on Ravelry. Thanks much for the great idea!!

Great pattern. I’m going to felt and make pincushions! Thanks!
February 18, 2011 at 11:32 pm
i made one of these today it turned out just great thanks for the pattern :)
February 19, 2011 at 7:30 pm
I completely followed the instructions, but mine didn’t turn out like yours?

I don’t understand the sc 1 sc2 sc12 and such do I sc in a chain or sc in the loops I’m super confused if anyone can break this down for a beginner a little bit more it would be super thanx a bunch!
April 16, 2011 at 8:22 pm
Krysten,
From what I understand the instructions to mean is that where it says sc1, you would crochet 1 in the next stitch. Where it says sc2, that would mean do do 2 sc in the SAME STITCH. this is so that your round increases by half as many stitches each time, for the first few rounds.
After these first few rows, only increase where it states to. This way the round still increases but only a couple of stitches in each round.
Hope this helps, and good luck.

Why don’t you include a printer-friendly version? When I printed this, it printed 35 pages – yes, that’s right, 35 pages, of which 32 pages were comments. The pattern itself came out on 3 pages, but it could have fit on 1 page. I wasted an awful lot of paper and ink on this one.
January 3, 2013 at 11:11 pm
I never print straight from a site for exactly that reason. Why don’t you just copy paste the pertinent text onto a Word document and print that? It’s much more efficient for both your printer and your computer, since you aren’t having to download the web page.
March 4, 2011 at 2:54 pm
How can I print off your wonderful pattern without having to print off all of the comments? I want to make these beautiful cupcakes, as I have a granddaughter who is having a birthday this month, and cupcakes are her all time favorite food group.

thx for the pattern

You can specify how many pages you want to print, when you send the print job just print the first few pages and you won’t get all of the comments.

How do you make the sprinkles on the cupcake.
June 19, 2011 at 10:48 pm
The sprinkles are just multi-colored bugle beads, sewn on with invisible thread once the cupcake top is completed but before it’s attached to the base.
July 22, 2011 at 4:48 pm
What does the * mean?
I don’t understand how you go from 12 to 18
when you sc twice into next st
July 22, 2011 at 4:55 pm
The asterisk means to repeat the sequence that just came before it, until you reach the end of the round. You go from 12 to 18 stitches because you repeat a sequence with an increase 6 times.
Hope that makes more sense now. Happy crafting!
April 7, 2012 at 6:25 pm
It also helps if you count the stitches or “v” shapes at the end of the round thy should add up to that number if not you added or decreased in the wrong spot.
July 27, 2011 at 11:39 pm
those cup cakes are easy and pretty I could aet them.. Do you stuffed them with anything.
Thank you Raymonde
July 28, 2011 at 8:02 am
Thank you! Yes, I did stuff mine with fiberfill so that it was soft and more like a plushie, but you could also use beans or rice and use your cupcake as a paperweight, if you’d prefer.
April 7, 2012 at 6:23 pm
I used cotton balls works like a charm
July 28, 2011 at 9:33 am
You can also use them as pin cushions. Making them were fun, but sell them was the best.
August 5, 2011 at 2:00 pm

September 26, 2011 at 5:53 pm

Your site has the cutest ideas! These are just adorable.
March 15, 2012 at 9:56 am
I’m unsure how to sew together the two pieces together, can someone give me a bit of a run through how to? Thank you!
April 7, 2012 at 6:21 pm
I did a mattress stitch goin under the bottom then the top I stuffed with cotton balls when I had an inch left. Make sure your stitches are tight or it make work loose.
March 15, 2012 at 8:38 pm
sO CUTE ,ESPECIALLY FOR THE GRAND CHILDREN
April 7, 2012 at 6:20 pm
It helps to use a place holder such as a paper clip or locking stitch holder to help keep track of the rounds for the increases you can also use a G6 hook if you have tight yarn tension.
April 17, 2012 at 8:53 pm
I use a safety pin, they are just as easy as the plastic stitch markers but are not as expensive and there are probably some around the house.
April 17, 2012 at 8:50 pm
Cute!! I have been looking for small cupcakes to make for my kids. They will LOVE these!

How do you do the scalloped edges? Can someone explain that or post a link or something please? Thanks! Love these :)
August 14, 2012 at 8:01 pm
nevermind I understand now! :)
August 14, 2012 at 8:10 pm
I lied… Do you do 5 doubles in the same single crochet? Then skip ONE single crochet and do 5 more doubles? That would end up with like 15 little ruffles and they aren’t very distinquished?
August 14, 2012 at 10:13 pm
5 doubles in the same stitch, skip the very next stitch, slip stitch into the NEXT stitch (next to the one you just skipped), slip stitch into the following stitch after that, rinse and repeat. :) Hope that helps!

These are TOO CUTE!!! I just learned to crochet a couple of months ago and I will definitely be making these! I also just started my own baking blog as well (like just a couple of days ago) so look at us using all these creative outlets :)
January 15, 2013 at 7:27 pm
So cute of them… I enjoy watching them.. I really want to do it but honest I don’t know how to do with instruction..I only know to do with a diagram patterns….
January 22, 2013 at 11:29 am
Thanks so much for the” sweet” pattern, or should I say recipe! It’s -14f today here in Michigan so i’m staying in and crocheting/baking up some yarn cupcakes for my girls` valentines presents. yummmm, if only I could eat yarn!
April 11, 2013 at 11:49 pm
Hello I just want to say this is a wonderful looking pattern for cupcakes…Very simple and easy…Although its very confusing, since the stitches do not at up…..I have been crocheting since I was a 7 and have designed many things…Thought I would follow someone else crocheting recipe instead of creating my own…Wanted something quick and easy, that could be done in a matter of minutes..This seem like the ideal one…Easy, cute & colorful…But the stitches don’t add up from the very start…
I can see how you can get 18 stitches out of 12, when you Sc 1, then 2 in that format with each stitch around…But on the 3rd row..There is no way you can get 24 stitches out of 18 if the pattern asks you to Sc2, and then twice again, into all stitches around….You will end up with 36 stitches.. Unless I am understanding something wrong here……Please! feel free to set the record straight….I will happily stand corrected…

I too, can put more into something, than what it really is LOl…..Hannah has really made it cut & dry…Wow!..Its Cool!… I know its the simplicity of it, she had in mind…….But I see how this could be confusing for beginners….Who have left their comments behind…
Anyway, thanks for Sharing Hannah…
