Blythe Cupcake Hat - Crochet Instructions
From me to you. There are no restrictions or limitations on this pattern. Make them, sell them, enjoy them!
Materials:
Worsted weight yarn in 2 colors (1 for cupcake, 1 for frosting)
Size G crochet hook
Beads or ribbon for decoration
Directions:
Row 1: Ch. 9. Work 1 sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across. 8 st. Ch. 1, turn.
Rows 2-35: Work 1 sc in the back loop of each st across, 8 st. Ch. 1, turn.
Row 36: Work 1 sc in each back loop of each st across, 8 st. Do not ch 1.
Turn your work so that you will be crocheting up the edge of the rows. This will form the bottom of the cupcake.
Row 37: Work 1 sc in 1st row of the opposite edge of cupcake bottom (will join the piece to form a ring like in the photo below). Mark beginning of round. Continue working 1 sc in each row all the way around, 36 st.

End, leaving a long tail for sewing. Weave tail through remaining stitches and pull tightly to gather top of cupcake. End, sew in end.
Join frosting color to first row of frosting as in photo below. Work 2 dc in each stitch around. End, sew in tail.
Using cupcake color, sew up side seam of the bottom of the cupcake.

Comments
Now if only I knew how to crochet, LOL...tried making a scarf once and it came out all wrong. I can't catch on to the increase/decrease thing. I need to find one of those "For Dummies" books.
It's for Neo Blythe. The pattern starts out with just the band around her head, and later in the pattern the cupcake top is added. Maybe that's why it seems small?

Actually, it is very easy to adjust. When crocheting the headband part of the hat (rows 2-35 and 36), add enough rows so that it will fit comfortably around your adorable granddaughter's head. It will then be sewn together to form the band of the hat. You can then follow the pattern as written. I'd love to see pictures when it's done!
