I had so much fun designing this cute Cup Cake Beanie, I’ve already made several versions 🤗 But even more I loved the photoshoot with the cutest model ever! Such a cutie pie 😍. This beanie is two sided and has a beautiful texture on the inside. It’s made out of a ‘tunnel’ which is folded in half. Make your own reversible ‘cup cake beanie’ which is twice as warm. Scroll down for my free pattern and step by step video tutorial.
About this cup cake beanie
This cup cake beanie is made from a long ‘tunnel’. Both ends will be closed and one half is folded inside the other. We will start with the easiest part with a basic color for the inside. Then we continue with part 2 which uses the cup cake stitch. Optionally you can finish off with a pom pom.
