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!

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.

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.

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:

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!

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!

Afternoon Hannah;
I want to leave you this reply as I seen them at a Church Fair and I was with friends who wanted purchase them for there office as a talk piece. I wanted to know for the price they paid for them was it a good deal! These cupcakes I’ve seen at other fairs and since I had made them in the past for friends and family, I was just wondering if my friends paid for them at a good price. That’s all I was asking about.
Thank you in advance in getting back to me on this. You have a blessed and wonderful day.

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!!

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.

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!

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…

uhm hi i think there’s a little correction to make on frosting on the edging part. You have to work on 30sts right? So what I did was to *skip 1 sc, 5 sc on nx sc, sl st on nx sc** repeat * to ** ten time (worked on 30sts)
So basically you’d be working on 30 sts around giving you 10 shell stitches for the edging :)

Thanks! I tried it both ways and keeping working in the back loops made a pretty ripple effect if you turn it out and use the other side. I also have a question on the top now. The scalloping doesn’t come out even when you get to the end. There’s no extra stitch to slip stitch into so it continues back into the first scallop and doesn’t look right. How did you get it to work?

It’s the strangest thing- It seems that some people run into problems with the scalloped edge lining up at the end, and some don’t. I really don’t know what to tell you about that one. I’m sorry! Worst comes to worst, you can always tie off the last one into the previous stitch.
