Notes

Possibly the cuttest thing I’ve ever knit.

Used 2 colors of alpaca for the cupcake, the frosting also had a strand of kidsilk. Knit the frosting with 3.25 for 3 rows then 3.5 mm needles to have a more fluffy looking frosting.

The body has 3 rows more than the pattern, the frosting 4 more rows.

I then proceeded on lightly felting the cupcake and shaped it into looking the way I wanted it, more like a cupcake straight out the oven.

I then knitted the cupcake liner with light grey alpaca.

Beaded mixed Miyuki and Toho beads, plus one flower and a butterly.
