cake pattern

Cakes3

It's been a long time coming but at last I have written up my original knitted cupcake pattern. So many people have asked me about this over the last 4 years and I'm making less and less of them in favour of more animals (which are my favourite thing to make) so it seemed about time to share it.

I've written it up in pdf format with full instructions backed up by detailed photos to help illustrate the trickier parts. It's suitable for intermediate knitting skills and is knitted flat in a couple of pieces so there is some seaming (not to everyone's taste I know but in my humble opinion it gives the best finish - especially on the base).

I want to say a big, big thank you to Dotty Cookie, Rosemary and Faye who have all helped me test this out and tweak it into an easy to follow format.The pdf pattern is available to buy now on Etsy and I will try to keep them in stock though I have no idea what the demand will be like!

Anyway, to say a little thank you to those who visit here I thought I'd giveaway 5 copies of the pattern. To be in with a chance of winning a copy just leave a comment below and I'll have a random drawing on Wednesday. I'm also making up a batch of cakes to sell so if you're not a knitter and you'd like one they should be finished soon.

Sorry, comments are now closed for the competition.

Hello, just to say your cakes are soo cute - I'd love a free copy of the pattern and I'm sure they will be very popular in your shop. Thank you for releasing the pattern!

Wouldn't this make a perfect Christmas gift for any child who likes to play "kitchen"? Charming!

they are beautiful, I have taught myself to crochet but I struggle with knitting.
with a little spray of rose water they would be a lovely way to scent a room.

Cheers Alex

Those are adorable. Thanks for taking the time to make up a pattern. I think they will be a great gift for my daughter!

Thanks so much for writing up your pattern. I love your work!!

The ideal solution for my diet!! Yummy, scrummy cakes with zero calories.
Here's hoping....

OH lovely - another incentive for me to perservere with learning to knit - even though I am struggling with casting on - any advice???

So cute, can't wait to make them...

These little cakes are so sweet. I'd love to make some!

Ooh they look delicious! I would like to knit some for sure! :-)

I'd sure love to win a copy of this pattern... :)

Thank you so much for publishing your cake pattern! Love all your work.

Oooooooooo these look scrum-diddly-umptuous

Oh I wish I could knit....i will content myself with waiting for the new batch of cakes to come on sale. Until then I will have my nose pressed against the oven door...which will be alright because it won't be hot seeing as you are knitting cakes..not really cooking them!!
Have a truly scrumptious day, kiss noises Linda Lilly Cottage.

I wanted to say your cupcakes are adorable! I am still a beginner knitter (and have a bunny pattern of yours that i bought from you and i cannot wait to give it a try) I'm not sure i am up to the cupcake pattern yet but can't wait to try that one too! :)

Please, please can you put some more patterns into your shop - I would love to have this pattern and am more than happy to buy it.

These are so cute and no calories.

Julie - these are the best looking knitted goodies i have ever seen! You are incredibly talented & so kind to be releasing your pattern.

My granddaughter has 4 of these gorgeous cupcakes! She wanted a tea party for her eight birthday party and each little girl brought her favortie doll. The dolls sat at their own tea table with your cupcakes as their special treat! So glad I will be able to "attempt" to make some more. I can concentrate on getting an animal from now on!

I love everything you make!! I'm not sure mine will look as good as yours but I would love to give it a go!

These are so so cute. Thanks for doing the giveaway - I am just learning to knit and these would be so fun.

Your cupcakes are adorable, and I've love a chance to try making them! I'm thinking I have a lot of friends who would love one as a Christmas gift - they'd make nice pincushions!

Oh Yay! I'm so excited! You cakes are so very adorable, I just purchased the pattern, so please consider someone else for the drawing. Just wanted to say thank you for releasing the pattern!
Have a wonderful week! Marissa

I haven't done any knitting for quite a few years but your patterns just make me want to grab the needles and get stuck into it...Linda :)

I almost fainted when I saw this post.

A PATTERN FROM JULIE!!!

Pigs are flying, the fat lady just sang, it's like Christmas in October!

Thank you so much Julie.

I know how hard you worked on this, not just to get it ready to publish, but for the years it took you to make it so perfect.

I will still cherish my ORIGINAL cupcakes from your shop no matter how many I make from your pattern.
