Free crochet cupcake pattern

Crochet cupcake:  

Finished size: The size depends on your hook size and yarn thickness. I used a 4mm hook and 4ply 100% cotton yarns, so my cupcake approx. 5.5cm (2inches).

You will need: brown, yellow and small amount red yarn

                       fibrefill stuffing

                       different type of coloured yarn or small beads for decorations

Notes: I started the cupcake with the magic loop/adjustable ring. (video tutorial here) The cupcake is worked in continuous rounds, do not join and do not turn at beginning of rounds. A stitch marker is used to indicate the beginning of rounds. Move marker up as each round is completed.

Start with brown yarn and make magic loop, sc 6.   (6)

2.rnd:  *sc to the next sc, 2 sc to the next sc* 6 times from * to *  (18)
