• Worsted weight (#4) yarn in the following colors:
  • Red Heart Super Saver Economy Yarn in Aran
  • For the orange, I used a Yarn Bee Rustic Romantic color from Hobby Lobby, but it doesn’t look like they carry this anymore. For a similar look, I recommend this Lion Brand Jeans yarn in the color Top Stitch (Any orange will work, but I LOVE the tweed/flecked style yarns.).
  • Premier Anti-Pilling Everyday Worsted Weight Yarn in Butter
• Button (I like to have a variety of sizes so I can choose which one fits my amigurumi the best! I recommend something like this.)
• Safety eye
• Sewing needle
• Black embroidery thread
• Yarn needle
• Stitch marker
• Polyester fiberfill
• Scissors

Candy Corn Poppet Fun Fact:

Old stitch witches believed Candy Corn Poppets were woven during the final harvest moon to preserve a little autumn magic for the coming winter. Keeping one nearby is said to invite cozy evenings, warm drinks, and a season filled with handmade memories.

Finishing Touches

1. Sew a button approximately 4 stitches apart from the safety eye.

2. With black embroidery thread and a sewing needle, embroider a crooked stitched smile across his face.

And that’s it! Your cute little spooky candy corn is complete!

Plushy Version

This candy corn also makes an adorable plushy verison!

To make the plushy version, follow the above instructions but make the following changes:

* Instead of worsted weight yarn, use super bulky (size 6) yarn. My absolute FAVORITE brand of plushy yarn is Premier Parfait Chunky. It’s a dream to crochet with compared to other bulky yarns, and it makes the absolute softest plushies!

And there you have it! Your plushy is ready!

I love to buy buttons from antique shops. You can usually find huge jars full of them for pennies on the dollar, and you end up with such a variety of colors and sizes! These random buttons just add an extra touch of character to your stuffies.

Candy Corn Poppet Fun Fact:

Legend says these cheerful little poppets quietly guard candy bowls while everyone sleeps. If no one is looking they’ll secretly swap the last handful of candy corn for a little extra Halloween luck — because every spooky season deserves one final sweet surprise.

Keychain Version

This candy corn also makes an adorable keychain version!

To make the keychain version, follow the above instructions but make the following changes:

*Instead of worsted weight yarn, use fingering weight (#2) yarn and a 2 mm hook.

*Attach a keyring to the top of your candy corn keychain.

And that’s it! Your candy corn keychain is complete!

And there you have it! A cute and fun candy corn crochet pattern that works up quickly and is beginner-friendly. This pattern would be so cute in a variety of colors as well! Customize this little guy to anything your heart desires and he’ll be ready for spooky season!

A Little Witchy Inspiration

The Sanderson Sisters have become some of the most recognizable Halloween witches, known for their dramatic personalities, colorful costumes, and unforgettable sisterly chaos.

For crochet dolls, tighter stitches help prevent stuffing from showing through. If your stitches feel loose, try going down a hook size.

Can I make this crochet witch as a gift?

Yes! Handmade dolls make wonderful gifts for:

• Halloween lovers
• Witchy friends
• Crochet collectors
• Fans of spooky season decor
• Anyone who loves magical handmade items
