Now, there’s a cute thing you can make that looks just like candy corn but lasts much longer: a crochet candy corn pattern! This pattern lets you create a little stuffed candy corn, which is just the right size to fit in your palm. The best part is its cute face, complete with safety eyes, making it perfect for Halloween trick-or-treating, decorations, or for carrying around as a keychain to spread its sweetness wherever you go.
