Notes

• Checking your gauge is not required for this pattern. Use a hook that is smaller than the size recommended for your yarn weight. This will ensure that your stuffing will not show through the stitches.
• All pieces are worked in the round. Use a stitch marker to indicate the beginning of each round.
• Invisible decreases are recommended. Please see “Special Stitches”.
• Safety eyes and noses pose a choking risk for babies; therefore, if making this toy for a baby, I recommend using yarn, felt, or embroidered details.
• All pieces require full stuffing. Stuff as you work to ensure each piece is completely filled.  
• All tutorial photos referenced in this document are available at the end of this pattern, or in sequential order in the full-color, formatted PDF that was included with your purchase.

Tips & Tricks for Success

• Use Stitch Markers: Working in continuous rounds means it is easy to lose your spot. Place a stitch marker in the first stitch of each round so you never lose count when making this free candy corn amigurumi.
• Seamless Decreases: Use the invisible decrease method for your SC2tog stitches. Standard decreases can leave visible gaps, but the invisible decrease ensures your stitches remain smooth and your stuffing stays hidden inside.
• Invisible Color Changes: Switch yarn colors using the seamless/invisible color change method to create a clean transition between the white, orange, and yellow colors.

Pattern Variations & Creative Uses

• Crochet Candy Corn Keychain: Sew a metal keyring or lobster clasp directly to the top point of the finished crochet candy corn for a quick backpack charm or keychain.
• Scale Up with Plush Yarn: Try using a bulky plush yarn like Premier Parfait Chunky with a larger hook size. This turns the mini design into a plush, palm-sized candy corn without changing the stitch count!
• Festive Fall Garland: Whip up 5-10 candy corns and attach them to a long chain with a tapestry needle to create a festive Halloween garland for your mantle or doorway.
• Rearview Mirror Car Charm: Chain 90, then loop and attach your candy corn to one end. Pair it with the free tiny ghost crochet pattern or free tiny pumpkin amigurumi on the opposite end for a cute hanging car charm!
