Crochet Icing on the Cupcake Hat

Want to add a little icing to a cupcake hat?! I’ve got a quick little pattern here for you! I debuted this technique this past Saturday in an online Michaels Craft Store Virtual Classroom. If you missed it, don’t worry, you can watch the playback video HERE!

As promised, I am posting the pattern for the icing below. The crochet icing works up in just a few rounds and looks kinda like an octopus when laid flat but when you set it onto of the hat, it looks like icing drippings!

I am using Caron Swirl Cakes for the Crochet Cozy Bobbles Hat and then I created the pom-pom and icing with a deconstructed ball of Caron Chunky Cakes in color Trifle. You can shop Caron Cake Yarn HERE on Michaels.com!
