Cupcake Pattern

I realize in our family that spring is a busy time for celebrations, and most of them are birthdays.  So I came up with an idea to gift to those who will be celebrating a birthday.  This is a cupcake pattern that I created.  I think it would be a great idea to make a keychain out of it.

What you'll need:

- a brown and colorful yarn (You can use any bright color to do the frosting)

- Scissors

- Place marker

- Crochet needle (5 mm)

CUPCAKE BOTTOM.

Start off using a crochet Magic Ring (mr) 

(see the following tutorial video to learn how:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLUaywX0-WE)

1) 6 sc

2)  2 sc in each st (12 st)

3) (1 sc, 1 sc, 2 sc in next st) repeat to end. (16 st)

4) 16 sc on back side of loop of stitch (16 st)

5-6) 16 sc

Sl st in next st and bind off

CUPCAKE FROSTING

Start with Magic Ring

1) 6 sc

2) 2 sc in each st (12 st)

3) (2 sc in each st) repeat to end (24 st)

4) (1 sc, 1 sc, 2 sc in next st) repeat to end, sl st in outside loop (facing you) of next st. (32 st)

5) Ch 2, 1 sc in same outside loop, then (2 sc in each outside loop of st) repeat to end, sl st to join (64 st)

(Connect Frosting to Bottom)

6) Starting from the frosting, put needle through first INSIDE loop (away from you) of stitch from the previous row (you just finished working on the OUTSIDE loop of the stitch).  Put needle through a stitch on the last row of the Cupcake Bottom piece, yo, and pull yarn completely through.

7) Skip one loop on the FROSTING piece and insert your needle, then put needle through the next st on the BOTTOM piece (do not skip a st on the bottom piece), yo, and pull yarn completely through.  Stuff the piece then continue this until the end.  

Sl st to finish row and bind off.  

Hide loose ends using a tapestry needle.
