Blythe Cupcake Hat – Knitting Pattern

A couple of months ago I decided that I NEEDED to knit a blythe cupcake hat for a swap. Luckily there are some lovely crochet patterns available for cupcake hats for Blythe. Unluckily I can’t crochet to save my life. The only solution? Invent a pattern. So I did. Here it is. I hope you enjoy.

      Hi Sharon

      The hat is sized specifically to fit a Blythe dolls head. A quick google search says a blythe head = 10.5″ in circumference approx. It is sized to be slightly wider to accommodate her hair. Hope that helps.
