Crochet Cupcake Beanie Tutorial

I am so excited to be here on Ucreate today. My name is Andrea and I started All Things Bright and Beautiful a couple of years ago with the hope of one day being featured on Ucreate—and here I am!

I’m a stay-at-home mom and spend a good amount of my time each day crocheting projects that are bright, modern, and trendy. Some of those projects include blankets, beanies, and toys. I really want to share my love for crochet with you and get you excited about how fun and easy it is.

So here is a tutorial of a cupcake beanie I made my little girl for her cupcake-themed 1st birthday party.

Note: you can make the frosting part smaller or bigger by taking out the last couple of rows, or make it bigger by adding rows at the end and following in the same pattern (sc in first 14, 2 sc in next st, etc).

Note: To make this hat smaller or bigger, simply chain less or more at the beginning and follow the rest of the pattern.

Sewing Together

Once you have both top and bottom finished sew the bottom piece to the frosting top. Sew around evenly through the bottom inside loop of the frosting part to the top of the bottom of the cupcake hat.

Note: You can add sprinkles by sewing different colors into the top part of the beanie, or add a cherry on top.
