How to Crochet a Swirly Cupcake Hair Clip!

I designed these cupcakes to wear in my hair, but these cute, swirly-topped delights also make super cute toys, gifts, and displays! Skip to 3:04 to get to the pattern if you don't want to hear my intro!
Some stitches/skills you'll learn:
Single crochet
Working in BLO or back loops only
Working in the round
The pattern is up on my blog at:

This is the first time I have seen one of your tutorials. You explain things incredibly well. This was very easy to follow. Thank you.

[@thethriftyfawn]

Go check out her cupcake dish cloth if you feel up to it! It's REALLY GOOD!!! 😊

[@TwinkieChanTV]

Hi! So sorry for the late response. I don't always see these when they come in. Thank you so much for the kind words. That means a lot!

[@Urushi12kitty]

i am SO happy to discover you have a youtube channel because after buying two of your patterns..and knowing how to crochet turns out im more of a visual learner when it comes to this lol! I hope you are well and am lookking forward to trying your patterns out!

[@mecpratt]

Yay! I made one! It's super cute and I'm really happy with how impressive the spiral frosting looks. My daughters are probably going to immediately steal it from me. Thank you!!!

[@TwinkieChanTV]

Megan Pratt Yay!!!! I am glad it turned out cute!! Great job!!

[@HRHDMKYT]

So CLEVER! Thanks for the tutorial, and all the free crochet patterns in your blog!

[@TwinkieChanTV]

HRHDMKYT Thanks for watching and reading!! :)

[@DajanaDarling]

I'm a crochet beginner and this video is amazing! Thank you so much for putting the written version as subtitles as well! I think this will really help me to understand written instructions better from now on. Within the last couple of hours I finished the muffin base and half the parallelogram. Once I'm done I'll try to make sure I share the result with you. Thanks again! Best regards from Berlin, Germany

[@TwinkieChanTV]

+Dajana Darling Yay! I'm so happy to hear that it was easy for you to understand! I know some people complain that I go through everything too quickly, but I don't want my videos to end up being 3 hrs long :P

[@212angelkitty]

[@M33t]

I would suggest before hacking anyone's anything, to talk to the person first. Create trust.

THANK U FOR THIS PROJECT!!! it was fun and it wasn't as hard as I thought. At first it was to make such a small opening in the circle

[@TwinkieChanTV]

Shannon Lee Most of my projects use simple stitches, so they aren't too crazy-hard. I'm glad you gave it a try!!!

[@jolandadeblom1302]

Hi Twinkie, you don't have to apologize so often because, you know, it is what it is and you're doing a great job. I think it is better to hear normal every day noises as too loud of music to pimp up the tutorial. I like you!

[@TwinkieChanTV]

jolanda de blom Aw thank you!! I appreciate it!

[@spiderwolf746]

Can you sew the frosting instead of glueing it to the cake?

[@carolstevens4316]

i love to bake so any kind of cell phone crochet case please thanks

[@teresaaliciavalenzuela5991]

Hola no entiendo tu idioma pero me encantan tus trabajos a crochet aunque batalló porque no te entiendo Saluditos desde Mexico bendiciones

[@pamelamosher5555]

Does the frosting part of the pattern angle? or is it the same width all the way across? Thank you

[@twinkiechan5298]

+Pamela Mosher IT's always the same total stitch count, but the final shape is a parallelogram, not a rectangle.

[@AnoukhHellstream]

Awesome pattern :) tho i will prop add maybe 2 or 3 rounds extra for the bottom with every other a dec. the extra rounds in like...offwhite..for a papercup. Adding a frilly edge where the colors change. I dunno, ill have to experiment xD

[@TwinkieChanTV]

AnoukhHellstream Yeah, there is definitely room to make it more cupcakey. I think I designed this one flatter because I didn't want it to stand too tall on my head :P

[@cricket654]

Happy birthday

Hi! I was wondering if you have any starter crocheting tutorials? Thank You!

[@TwinkieChanTV]

+SummerSpringStudios Hi! I haven't really made any, because I already feel like there are so many out there. I did sort of a quickie starter video for my friends at the Int'l Geek Girls Pen Pal Club. Search KZbin for "crochet a cozy camp cowl" and it should pop up.

[@moonwatcher9014]

Is there going to be craft room tour update. I made one.

[@darlenelepe8825]

I just "TRYED"to make your swirly cupcake.But unfortunately it turned out lopsided.It didn't look nothing like yours. I wish I knew how to send you a picture of it so you can see what a mess I made. I had a good laugh. I'm not giving up I'll try it again in a few days. I'm not a quitter.Thanks little one for your cute tutorial: sending you lots of love from California🍨🍰🍩🍭

[@JessyBee1313]

I suck with doing magic circles too...and they don't seem to be strong enough anyway(maybe I'm too hardcore with it, haha). Anyway, this is really cute. Will start working on this after yet another yarn run :)

[@TwinkieChanTV]

Hi! Thank you so much for the sweet comment! Unfortunately, making KZbin videos doesn't pay the bills, so now I work full-time doing social media for another company. I really love making tutorials though, so hopefully I can sort out my free time a bit better. Kind of enjoying just relaxing when I get home from the office tho!!!!! (#adulting)
