Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and that got me thinking, thinking about all things hearts. And what says hearts more than the Queen of Hearts? Welcome the addition to my topsy-turvy crochet cupcake doll patterns, The Queen of Hearts Cupcake Doll. This doll uses tapestry crochet to create an adorable heart on the dress top and a crown made for a queen using tr, fptr, and the picot stitch combined with your basic stitches. You may also find the original Cupcake Doll pattern, here. Also, if you have bought or buy the original cupcake doll, you can receive 50% off this doll, no coupon necessary.
