  2. I would also like an more detailed explanation for the start of the icing pattern where you go from end of row ten, do severl stitches in that space and then go directly to row one with nothing in between. Am I missing something?

  3. I would also like a more detailed explanation for the start of the icing. You are going from several stitches in row ten directly to row one with nothing in between. Am I missing something?

  4. Because row 10 is worked around 3/4 of the cupcake bottom, row one and ten are actually side by side.

My mother is 91 years old and she does small work for a small store in town, she also donates some of her work to the DAR, she wants to know if you would allow her to use the cupcake bookmark not only for the DAR but to also sell to the store where she sells her items if we make a tag "Cupcake created and designed by April at "Crochet Amore" and crocheted by Helen, thank you, Shirley

    1. You're welcome Shazz! I'm so glad you like the pattern. I know that conversion trips me up sometimes too with the European patterns. :)
