Little Cupcake Pincushion - Free Crochet / Amigurumi Pattern

Yum! This cheery little cupcake looks good enough to eat (but please don't!) I designed this little guy based on a felt pincushion I made last Christmas for my friend Ruth. She absolutely loved the one I made her and ever since I've wanted to design a crochet version for me. This little guy will hold all of my needles and pins whilst looking super adorable on my craft desk too. I used bright embroidery floss to give him sprinkles but I don't even think I needed to - if you use pins with coloured heads they already look like real sprinkles! He's super quick & easy to make and only uses a small amount of yarn - a perfect "stash buster" project!
I am offering this pattern for free, so as always I ask that if you would like to thank me perhaps you could subscribe to my blog in some way. If you do make your own little cupcake please post your pictures on my Facebook page, I would love to see!
Happy hooking!

I absolutely love the way you have put the hints in on how to finish off your patterns, it's where I usually mess up!! I have a little hint for other amigurumi crocheters, I get a sore end of my index finger on the hand that I hold the work with, I went to the chemist and purchased a rubber finger stall, no more sore finger!!!
