A sweet little confection, topped with a bit of whimsy. You’re gonna love our fresh new design!
Inspired by birthday confections, Cupcake is a joyfully simple sweater, topped by a sweet touch of lace, and colourwork (if you please).
Cupcake is delicate and elegant knit for grown-ups, but honestly, my heart really melted as I knit teeny tiny sweaters for little Margot.

The Sweet Deets
Like all our patterns, Cupcake is sized inclusively, for the whole family!
- 20 sizes: from newborn through adult 6XL
- DK or sport weight yarn: we knit it in Tanis Fiber Arts PureWash DK, Puzzle Tree Yarns DK+, and Ritual Dyes Sprite
- Short or long sleeves
- Two colours, or just one! It’s adorable either way
The Joy of Tiny Things
Like a bouquet of fresh cut spring blooms (or a work of cupcake art!) a baby sweater is fundamentally impractical. You knit it, then blink an eye and the babe is toddling away!
But YOUR joy – the real point of crafting gifts – that lasts. It’s there to sustain you, even a decade or two later.
First time with lace?
So you REALLY wanna knit a little Cupcake… today… BUT you haven’t tried lace yet? Alexa and I are 100% HERE to help, encourage, and enable!
Cupcake has just a few rounds of lace, with only the most basic of lace stitches, so it’s perfect for lace beginners too! Check out all of our lace tutorials to get you started.

OHMYGOSH, this is an absolutely adorable pattern. I received my yarn order for this sweater in the mail today, but I’m going to be VERY disciplined and not cast on until I finish knitting my Dog Star. Your patterns are the best ones out there, and I’m grateful to have found you! ♥️
