Crafters Cupcake, Tape measure and Pin Cushion - Knitting Pattern

The Crafty Cupcake is an adorable tape measure, pin cushion and small notion tidy disguised as a cupcake!

There is nothing we knitters love more than to relax with a WIP and a sweet treat, or is that just me?   Calorie free cupcakes are real.

Hidden beneath the knitted surface is a retractable tape measure, the frosted pink icing icing can be used as a handy pin cushion and the pastel cupcake case can be removed and used to store stitch markers and other small notions.
