11 Free Candy Corn Crochet and Knit Projects

For such a small, happy-looking, sugary, honey-sweet snack, candy corn can be quite divisive. Some people love it and some hate it, but it always appears in stores this time of year (with those cute sugary pumpkins). Here’s a trick for you. Try mixing it in a bowl with peanuts or other salted nuts. It takes the edge off the sweetness and gives you some protein, too. Taking both together tastes just like a certain candy bar. Win-win! But, even if you don’t enjoy eating it, you’ll love these colorful candy corn crochet and knit patterns for your home!

Check out the patterns below. Maybe pick one to gift to a new neighbor. Or, if you’re not into yellow and orange as a colorway, choose colors you do like and make these candy corn crochet and knit projects your own.
