In honor of my 100th post, I would like to celebrate by sharing my little cupcake pattern. I hope you have as much fun making them as I have. I've tried to keep the novice knitter in mind when writing this pattern. However, should you ever have a problem or get stuck, please feel free to email me and I'll do my best to help you out.
I would love it if you would send me pictures of your finished cupcakes. I would love to put them on my blog!
Happy knitting to everybody!

With yarn gather up open end of cupcake filling, pull gently to close leaving a small opening. Place filling into cupcake base. Starting ¼-inch from the top of cupcake base and using matching thread, stitch filling to cupcake base using small stitches to avoid being seen.

I have been looking for an easy cupcake pattern for years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are so very welcome.
I've had a go, but it is huge, more of a mug cake than a dainty cup cake. My knitting is really bad. Could you suggest how I could make it smaller by taking away some of the stitches. I'm very new to knitting and don't really have a clue how a pattern works I just follow instructions with absolutely no understanding. Promise to send you a pic if I can get it smaller. Thank you
I love the little cupcakes and I want to make a whole plate full of them. Thank you and congratulations on hitting 100. Can you believe that I'm almost at 500. I can't seem to shut up.
Love these im guna have ago x
