Cupcake Charm

Introduction

So I was sitting in my living room on a Friday afternoon, staring at my myspace and i realized I wanted something to represent my myspace nickname "Cupcake", so I started looking at crochet patterns for jewelry since I wanted a necklace charm. I wanted apattern for a mini Cupcake but I couldn't find any patterns online. So out of sheer boredom I made up my own.

*NOTE* I DID NOT keep notes on how exactly I crocheted this little cupcake so if you see anymistakes feel free to correct them.

Materials List

3.75 F Hook
Little yarn scraps (any colors you want)
little pieces of fabric or cotton balls (for stuffing)
Small metal round (so you can put it on a necklace or keychain if you wish)

Finished Size

Depends on your hook size.

Gauge

Not sure if there is a specific gauge. Depends on your needle size.

Notes

The Pattern

DO NOT TURN AFTER EACH ROUND! If you do it will make the cucpcake look bulky and uneven!

Icing:
Ch 3, join with sl st.

Round 1: 2 sc in each ch around. join with sl st, ch 1.(6 sc)
Round 2: *1 sc, 2 sc in each st* Repeat ** around. join ch 1.(12 sc)
Round 3-4: Sc around, ch 1. (12)
(This round is to make the wavy edge)Round 5: *3 hdc in 1 sc, sk 1 sc, sl st in 1 sc* Repeat ** around. Join. Finish off

Now for the bottom.
For the bottom repeat the icing pattern but instead of making round 5 wavy u just keep single crocheting around.

Add a little metal round to your cupcake and its ready for action!


This is so cute! I have a suggestion if you want it smaller..... I do this a lot....change to bedspread weight #10 thread and use a size 7 hook and follow your same pattern!! I am sure it will look great!
