Anything and everything can be cute and I have a sweet candy for you on the blog – Candy Corn! However… mine ended up turning out looking like a Dorito? If you can look past that, I have no doubt you’ll love making these cute and kawaii plushies! Really easy and quick to make.

I am not sure when or how candy corn became such a staple treat in the season of Halloween, but it seems like its never going anywhere and I think I have no option but to embrace it. I personally think the taste is.. odd. I don’t hate it, but I am pretty done eating them after about 5 pieces. I know some love it and some hate it – Over on Twitch, chat had a good comparison – they kind of taste like candles. Let me know how you feel about them!

Down below, you can find the full free pattern and all the materials needed to make your own! Along with the normal candy corn, there’s even a festive Halloween flavor! Can’t wait to see which ones you make!

Row 19: Dec across (2 dec’s total) (2)

Row 20: Dec into only two stitches (1)

Leave the white yarn still in a loop.

 

Now that you have both of your panels, be sure all your ends are weaved in besides the tail of the top as mentioned above. And we will also be adding in our safety eyes! Insert them into row 5 with 8 stitches apart.

 

 

Assembly

**NOTE: You can choose any color option you desire but for the tutorial, we will be doing the standard candy corn!

With both panels on top of one another, you will now be using the single crochet to join them together. Starting from the tip, insert your hook through BOTH panels and pull through to do a sc. (Be sure your working to the left and your work is facing towards you!)

 

 

Single crochet down the left side into each stitch going through both panels

 

 

When you get to the next color, switch colors by pulling the following color through the last pull of a single crochet

 

 

Continue following along and being sure to switch colors – one making it to the corner of the project, you will be doing 3 sc into the same corner stitch! (Do this on the next corner as well)

 

 

As you begin to get closer to the end of your piece, be sure you’re stuffing firmly! 

 

 

To close it all off, sl st into the very tip and finish off! Weave in all your ends.

 

The Last step now is adding the small details such as the smile, blush, and lashes! And if you’re going festive, feel free to add the scar!

 

 

I hope you enjoyed this project! I had fun making this freebie for all of you and I am excited to see them all over social media!
