• The crochet candy corn pattern is made in the round by going around a starting chain.
• Round 1: With the yellow yarn, ch x12 then in the second ch from the hook make a sc. Make 9 more sc stitches in the following 9 chains. In the last ch available, sc x3. Now we will work on the other side of the chain that hasn’t been worked on yet. Sc x9 in the other 9 chains. Then make an inc in the last ch. Then sl st to the first sc. This is the new starting point for the rounds, and also as a side note this is the only round we will make a sl st. From here on out we will work in a continuous spiral (24).
• Round 2: Starting in the next stitch, sc x9 in the next 9 sc stitches. Inc x3, sc x9, inc x3 (30).
• Round 3-6: Sc in every stitch (30).
• Round 7: Dec, sc x3. Then repeat for the rest of the round (24). After you are done with the round, fasten off the yellow and switch the yarn to orange.
• Round 8-11: Sc in every stitch (24). At this point, make sure the right side of the candy corn is facing out. We will be adding the eyes!
• Lay the candy corn flat, then between the last 2 rounds of yellow you made - add the eyes 5 stitches apart —because the eyes are big, there should be 3 VISIBLE stitches in between the eyes.
• Round 12: Dec, sc x2. Then repeat for the rest of the round (18). After you are done with the round, fasten off the orange and switch the yarn to white. If you haven't started, stuff the candy corn and then stuff again as you complete the last rounds.
• Round 13-15: Sc in every stitch (18).
• Round 16: Dec, sc. Then repeat for the rest of the round (12).
• Round 17: Dec in every stitch (6). Fasten off the yarn and then sew the top closed. Weave in any ends.
• Embroidery: Using black yarn, add a nice smiling mouth between the eyes or even some stitches on the candy corn to give it some character.

Crochet Candy Corn Costumes:

• All use the basic candy corn pattern above.
• Zombie: Use 3 shades of purple for the candy corn, add only 1 eye and then embroider an X for the other eye, as well as a few stitches.
• Frankenstein: Use 2 shades of green and then black at the top. Embroider stitch marks as well as lines where the black connects to the middle green to create a spikey hair effect. Then repeat on the other side.
• To make the neck bolts —join your black yarn to the side of the face, where the lower 2 green colors meet. Once the black yarn is joined, ch x3 then make a bobble stitch (dc5tog) then sl st to the same spot. You will do this to both sides. Then weave in any ends.
• Mummy: After making the base —ch x151 chains (you can adjust the amount if needed. Then in the second ch from the hook make a sl st. Continue making sl sts for the rest of the chain length. Then sew it to the candy corn by pinning it to the candy corn and tacking it every inch or so. Once done, weave in any ends.
• Bat/Vampire: When you are making the mouth make it straight and add 2 little white lines for teeth underneath it.
• For the batwings: With the black yarn, ch x5 and then in the 3rd ch from the hook make a dc and then a picot stitch. A picot stitch is where you ch x3 and then make a sl st in the 3rd ch. Then make a dc in the same stitch where you made the first dc. In the next stitch make a dc, picot, and dc. In the last stitch make a dc, picot, and dc x2. Then fasten off the yarn with a tail for sewing. Make another bat wing and sew them to rounds 6-8 on the sides of the candy corn. Then weave in any ends.
• And now all your candy corns are complete! I personally had fun creating this pattern for you and I could have made more costumes for them but had to force myself to stop!
