Amigurumi cupcake container free crochet pattern. To make this little cutie, I used a margarine container and then glued the “cup liner” from the cupcake amigurumi to the bottom part, and then glued the frosting to the cap of the container.
The result is a cute cupcake amigurumi container, that is also disguised but functional. You can store little things in it, and if you don’t tell anybody, you could even use it as a secret hiding place. Once is closed it doesn’t look as there’s anything inside but looks like a one piece cupcake amigurumi.
The idea to create this little cupcake amigurumi came to me because I wanted to save the margarine container. I want to save almost any box, Tupperware, or container that is reusable, it just seems a waste to throw some stuff away.
But I also didn’t want to be the gal that hoards everything. (Note I said everything, as I still hoard some things here and there, lol)
At first, I was just going to cover it with yarn or fabric. But then, when considering “HOW” to cover it with yarn, I got the idea of making a “cup” by working in the round.
It was all play with words from there, as the idea of a cup, make me think of cup-cake. By then my little creative mind started to play with ideas and I created this amigurumi cupcake đ
I made a little change, as the cup liner is not worked in rounds after all, because by working in rows, I was able to create a texture that resembles the folds found in cupcake liners.

- Fill the frosting with fiber-fill and glue it to the top of the container, also let it dry.
- Ta-da! your own amigurumi cupcake should be done, yay!

I love this idea! It’s so cute and so functional.
Thank you!
I really appreciate your comment đ
This is so cute! Can’t wait to try the pattern.
Thanks for your kind comment!
What size of oz. Is the container?
CUTE IDEA want to make it
It was the smallest “I can’t believe is not butter” container. I believe it was 6oz. Sorry I can’t confirm it, as I gave this away. If you want to use a bigger container, just add more chains to the base. And follow the rest of the pattern just the same for the “cup”. As for the frosting, you will need to add a few extra rows.
Row 5 is not well put instruction wise. If your saying 2 sc around well there’s no way you will end up with 32 sc’s. can you make this more clearer plz? I’m a very skilled crocheter and I just don’t see ending up with 32 sc’s. thank you kindly for sharing this pattern with us, it is adorable and will wait your reply as I sure would like to finish it. thanx again.
Row five reads: “* 2sc; 2sc in same st* repeat ** until end (32)”
2 regular single crochet, followed by 2 single crochet in one stitch. This way, 8 stitches are increased in total. 24 + 8 = 32
I hope that helps đ
