Materials and preparation — *Materials and work-in-progress shot*

3. Materials Needed

– Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in orange (approx. 50 yards), yellow (approx. 50 yards), and white (approx. 25 yards)

– Hook: 3.5mm or 4.0mm crochet hook

– Eyes: Safety eyes (10mm) OR black embroidery thread

– Stuffing: Polyester fiberfill stuffing

– Needle: Tapestry needle for sewing

– Marker: Stitch marker

– Optional extras: N/A

4. Designer Notes / Tips

– Stitch technique: This pattern primarily uses single crochet (sc) for a smooth texture. You may find it helpful to work in the back loops for the final round of each color change for a clean finish.

– Stuffing density: Aim for a light stuffing to maintain a soft, squishy feel. Avoid overstuffing, as this can distort the shape.

– Assembly: When joining the colors, ensure that the transitions between the orange, yellow, and white are neat. Use a tapestry needle to weave in ends securely.

– Yarn substitutions: If you don’t have worsted weight yarn on hand, you can substitute with cotton yarn for a sturdier finish. Just be sure to adjust your hook size accordingly.

– Gauge tips: This pattern doesn’t require an exact gauge, but aiming for a tight tension will prevent stuffing from peeking through.

– Safety considerations: Ensure that any safety eyes are securely fastened, especially if your candy corn will be around young children.
