Ceramic bowls filled with an array of pastel buttercream neatly line themselves up along the marble countertop, ready to add whimsy to a tray of freshly baked cupcakes. Grabbing your favourite piping nozzle, it’s not long before you’ve whipped up the perfect weekend treat to share with friends.

Being not only an avid maker, but also a baker, I couldn’t help but want to share this detailed ‘recipe’ on how you can crochet this deliciously sweet and beautifully defined stitch… Due to it’s repetitive and simple steps, this is the ideal stitch to use while waiting for the oven to preheat.

The Cupcake Stitch creates a playful and whimsical fabric, making this the perfect stitch to use when crocheting lightweight scarves and blankets. Treat yourself this week by crocheting these darling little cupcakes, and it won’t be long before you’re in the kitchen baking up a scrumptious storm.

Learning a new crochet stitch or technique is always such fun, don’t you agree? If you’re keen to challenge yourself this weekend (as you’re cozied up by the fireplace), you’re in luck as this helpful step-by-step video tutorial will guide you through all the necessary steps needed to learn the deliciously sweet “Cupcake Stitch“, in an easy to follow speed!
