To match the ‘Cupcake Scarf’, I’ve designed two different hats - one a simpler beanie - that is meant to be a whole ‘cupcake ; and one a lacy, filigree beret / slouchy that ‘copies’ the cupcake pattern.

This pattern is also available at

and the pattern for a beret that matches this and a scarf is at http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/crocheting/accessory/cupca....
