Crochet is basically a craft which helps to create scarves, blankets, baby cloths, shawls or other household items using wool or cotton. A special curved needle with a hook or a curve at its end is used to crochet.
You can just use simple stitching techniques to create a delightful crochet cupcake that everyone will love. Once you learn how to make crochet cupcakes, you will make them repeatedly and you will always have a go-to gift for someone on different, special occasions.
With crochet cupcakes, you can make blankets that are both warm and soothing. While little babies will love their new blanket, mommies will receive a lot of praises for themselves.
Use a light combination of colours while making a crochet cupcake as it will make it look much brighter and more beautiful. To make a perfect cupcake crochet, here are the materials that you will require.
- 3.5mm curved hook
- Fine yarn that matches the hook size.
Add Cherries to Cupcake
Make around eight or nine different cherries to match each of your cupcakes. If you wish to hang your garland under an arch or in a place where both the back and front of your cupcakes will be visible, you may need to make cherries for the other side of all your cupcakes. If you don’t feel like crocheting the cherries for the other side of your cupcakes, you can also glue red pom-poms or buttons to your cupcake.
Also, make sure that you decorate your cupcakes. Many people mainly choose rainbow mini pom-pom sprinkles or washable fabric glue to do so.
