Embroider French knots in assorted colors onto the icing.

To give the icing more texture, every row can be worked in the back loops or for a smooth icing work through both loops.

Part Four: Assembly

Place the bottom part of Cupcake top inside the base. Line up row 7 of the top with row 9 of the base. Work through the loops to secure the cupcake top to the cupcake base.

Attach icing to top of cupcake.

Weave in all ends.

Be patient, if you don’t succeed the first time, try again! Use a different kind of yarn or hook.
