Kawaii Amigurumi CupCake Keychain

Itty Bitty Amigurumi CuppyCake

Front View

I made this little guy for the girl who has been teaching a manga drawing class at the local Comic Book store for the last year or so and has been awesome to my kid. She’s passed on some really cool drawing tips, always been friendly and patient with the kids, and that is super duper in my books. She’s going on to another job and won’t be there anymore so we wanted to do something sweet for her.

It was made with half strands of yarn and a 2mm crochet hook. The bottom is worked to be actually flat. I didn’t take good notes as I made it and just winged it, but I put up the pattern as best I recall and have sussed out from looking at the thing. If this is done with a bigger hook and full strands of yarn, it’ll just be bigger, like little pin cushion sized.

2mm hook for half strands of yarn or smaller for crochet cotton.
3.5mm hook for worsted weight yarn.

SC = Single Crochet
INVDEC = Invisible Decrease
INC = Increase (2 SC in one stitch)

    hey what do you mean by Round 5 is done in the backloop only of round 3, leaving the SL ST line totally untouched, you may need to CH 1 to get to it.

      What is meant is, after round 3, do slip stitches all the way around, this will give the bottom of the cupcake a sort of “spine” or edge, so it sits flat and has an edge, next, rather than crocheting round 5 in the line of slip stitches you just did, you will ch1 and crochet through the outermost loop of the single crochets from round 3. If that is still unclear let me know and I can take a photo or something to help :)
