Candy Corn Bear: Free Crochet Pattern

Candy corn seems to be a seriously polarizing candy! Some of my friends love it while most of my family members can’t stand it. Whether you love or hate candy corn, the confection is still a quintessential Halloween treat.

I’m somewhat partial to candy corn in small quantities. I was inspired by these sugary morsels to create a tiny crocheted bear (with 0 grams of sugar and 0 calories!). You can make your own little bear with the following crochet pattern & tutorial. You can get the ad free, printable version of this pattern HERE for $1.99 on Etsy.

Assembling the bear

 

Cut a tiny oval of white felt for the mouth of your bear like the one pictured above. I embroidered a little mouth and nose onto my felt with black thread. Alternatively, you could draw these features on with a thin tipped black Sharpie.

I felted the mouth onto the bear right between the eyes. You could sew on the mouth or even attach it with glue.

 

 

 

 

Now your candy corn bear is complete! You can use it as a decoration by your candy bowl or make a bunch to give as Halloween party treats.
