Materials:
- 2mm crochet hook
- 100% sports cotton yarn in 2 different colors. The brand used for this toy is a local brand that I purchased in the shop nearby. For a similar yarn with the same quality and thickness, I recommend this one, which I also use for many of my toys.
- Black thread for embroidering the eyes.
- Stuffing material
- Scissors
- Sewing needle.
- Or, you can use safety eyes! The position is at the end of this post.
Finished Size
The finished amigurumi Cupcake crochet pattern measures approximately 2″ (5 cm) tall. However, the final size may vary depending on your stitch tension and the materials used.
Gauge
Gauge is not crucial for this pattern, so feel free to use a hook size that matches your chosen yarn. I always recommend using a slightly smaller hook to keep the stitches tight and prevent the stuffing from showing through. If needed, adjust your hook size for a neater finish.
However, if you’d like to know the gauge for my chosen yarn and materials, here it is:
With sport-weight yarn and a 2mm crochet hook, the gauge for 5 rounds (increasing to 30 stitches) measures approximately 1.6″ (4.5 cm).

FAQ about Crochet Cupcake
Yes, you’re welcome to sell the finished items you make using my patterns. Just please don’t copy, repost, or sell the pattern itself.
I recommend 100% cotton yarn for structure and durability, especially since if they are often handled. But you can experiment, just keep your tension tight.
Absolutely. You can use any yarn you like, just be sure to adjust your hook size to match the yarn so you don’t end up with loose gaps and see-through holes in your stitches.

At the start of the cupcake bottom, you said work on the remaining back loop of round 13. I believe you meant remaining back loop of round 14?
Hey! It is the remaining of round 13!
Let us go slow, for round 14, you work in the front loop of round 13 right? That leaves us the back loop of the round 13 sitting inside of the toy.
You work in the front loop of round 13, so the round you just created (round 14) stays hanging outside of the toy.
You will ignore round 14 to continue working on the bottom of the cupcake. This way, you will take the remaining back loop of the previous-previous round, round 13 that is inside of the toy. This will stand out even more the round 14 which is the top of the cupcake, and force the bottom to stay straight going down!
I hope it’s clear!
