Crochet Tutorial: Cupcake Amigurumi

Crochet Tutorial: Cupcake Amigurumi

Each February, I do the “Punny Valentine” Series. This year I will do SEVEN new crochet patterns alternating with past patterns as we move toward Valentine’s Day 2019. FOURTEEN days of cheeky puns to put a smile on your face as we “share the love” this month! 💕 Let’s begin with a happy cupcake pattern! You all make my life filled with “fun-fetti sweetness” when you join me in this annual event! I am not going to “sugar-coat” this -Some only dream of cake, but YARNutopians “bake” it happen! So let’s “bake” it easy and start with “sprinkles” of fun in our day. You know we all “dessert” it because I would be “muffin” without you! Let’s start living the “sweet life” with this pattern. Below, you will see all the secret “ingredients” to make this fun amigurumi!!

 

Follow along with this video tutorial to learn how to make this cupcake:

 

My dad will continue to be the videographer, editor, and photographer for our videos when I move away.
Support YARNutopia today so we can continue to bring you clear, quality crochet tutorials even after I move into my new home!
There will be an added expense of more travel and hopefully this won’t deter our ability to provide consistent videos on a weekly basis.

Crochet Tutorial: Birthday Wish Granny Square

Crochet Tutorial: Birthday Wish Granny Square

It’s my birthday! I created this Birthday Wish Granny Square to add to our 365 Days of Granny Squares project. It uses variety of crochet stitches to create an interesting design! I hope you enjoy making your square!

A couple disclaimers before you start: Be sure to check your tension and use the correct size hook for your square. I demonstrate with an H-5.00mm crochet hook in the video tutorial, but you can make yours bigger or smaller by using a bigger or smaller hook. Also, if yours turns out wonky when you are finished, you may need to block this square to make it nice and flat.
