More Crocheted Cupcake Patterns

• Repeat Crafter Me has an awesome tutorial for crocheting a cupcake pixel blanket. This twin-size bed covering may, at first glance, seem a bit intimidating, but each pixel of the design is actually a small granny square. A great project for a beginner.
• Make a crocheted cupcake container using a recycled margarine tub and the pattern on Crafty Tuts. The cupcake liner and cupcake top are attached to the outside of the tub, secretly hiding the container inside. Because of a few intermediate stitches, this pattern is more suitable for a crocheter who has advanced past the beginning stitches of crochet.
• An adorable cupcake dishcloth pattern on Twinkie Chan is another intermediate level design. This dishcloth would be an adorable birthday gift for a friend.

Crocheting to Relax

Crocheting can be used to manipulate yarn into a vast array of decorative, wearable and functional items. It is also a great de-stresser. Pick up a ball of yarn and a crochet hook and relax for a while, creating something you're sure to love.
