- 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.
