CO 60 sts using the (double) long-tail cast on (Latvian cast-on?)
Join to knit in the round and K2P2 for 15 rounds with the ‘cake’ color
Change yarn to ‘icing’ color and knit 3 rows
Next: [k2tog, yo]x30
knit 3 rows
Next: knit each stitch together with the corresponding back loop of the 1st row of ‘icing’ color to form the picot edge (if you prefer you can do this by sewing after you are done knitting).
Knit 15 rows then start decreasing every row:
[k8, k2tog]x6
[k7, k2tog]x6
[k6, k2tog]x6
[k5, k2tog]x6
[k4, k2tog]x6
[k3, k2tog]x6
[k2, k2tog]x6
[k1, k2tog]x6
[k2tog]x6
Change yarn to ‘cherry’ color and knit 1 row
Next:[ kfb]x6
Knit 2 rounds
[k2tog]x6
Cut yarn and pull thru the 6 remaining stitches. Weave in all the ends.
A yarn with a gauge of 3.5sts per inch will give you a child sized hat, while a yarn with a gauge of 5.5sts/in will give you a newborn hat.




thank you,i will try this one.i tried a diffrent pattern that had bobble trim,but i’m kinda new to knitting.i hope this is success.
I hope you find it easy to make. Make sure to share a picture when you are done. Woul love to see it! Good luck!
I like the picot edge better than the bobble. Will attempt soon.
Just made a hat using your pattern. It turned out so cute. Thanks for sharing.

I just went to take a peek at your hat. The hat and everything else you have made are wonderful!
what size needles do you use?
I have used US5 and US8 for different sizes.
I love this pattern! I made one the other day and am working on an adult sized one now…CO 80 st in an aran weight yarn and doubling the height. I’ll let you know how it comes out!
Looking forward to it!
It came out well, but I am now trying another with worsted weight, using a size 5 for the ribbing and a size 7 for the icing. Then I think I’ll crochet a cherry for the top. I’m just mangling your pattern, lol! It’s still the nicest one I’ve seen, though.
Hello,
I was about to head to the yarn store and took a look at your cupcake hat pattern which is the one I like the best of all I have seen, and it did not say what size knitting needle, whether the same size is used for both cake and frosting parts, and what weight yarn to use or how much to get. Could you explain the double long tail cast on? What is Latvian cast on
thank you so much for your hat!!!!!!

Psst…I know I’m not the pattern writer so I hope it’s okay I respond…I just use the long-tail caston (I learned it from Knittinghelp.com) and I’ve only used worsted/aran weight and the corresponding needle size. Hope that helps.
