Candy Corn Themed Knitting Patterns

I don’t really even like eating candy corn, but I’ve had it on the brain lately since I’ve been working on a really fun project I’ll share with you soon. Candy corn is a great motif for knitting because it’s so graphic, and you can use the shape, the colors or both and everyone knows what you’re trying to express.

Here’s a collection of great projects inspired by candy corn.

These candy corn earrings from Zombies, Knitting and Time Well Wasted can be knit in almost no time when you need something cute to wear to a Halloween party or any other time during the fall.

Jane Mack has designed candy corn colored socks and booties and a hat, both of which are available as Ravelry downloads.

Speaking of baby gear, this baby cocoon and coordinating cap from Red Heart would be a perfect first Halloween costume for a new little one.

The candy corn illusion dishcloth by Rhonda K. White is a fun way to play with that technique.

Kristin M. Roach’s candy corn creature would make fun table decor or a little gift for your pumpkin. And these little candy corns from the Purl Bee are so cute I’ll bet you can’t knit just one. For a super-tiny version, check out the ones from Mochimochi Land.

The candy corn mittens from Justine Birmingham are a great addition to a costume if you live somewhere that’s cold come Halloween. (Ravelry download)

Craftown has a fun candy corn kitchen towel to knit, and Sarah Sagaser’s candy corn hat is a classic you can size up or down for the whole family. (Ravelry)

And I have a cute little candy corn goody bag over at About that you can use for a little treat for your kid, or make a bunch for a holiday party.

I’ve shared a lot of Christmas stocking knitting patterns over the years (see posts 1, 2, 3 for example) but what if you want to knit a stocking for a non-human member of your family. If you’re looking for Christmas stocking knitting patterns for your cats or dogs, this is the post for you.

These large paw print stockings are perfect for either dogs or cats, so they’re great to knit if you have both. They are worked in the round using DK weight yarn, and the stocking measures about 17 inches/43 cm from the top to the heel. You can get the pattern from nicolaluke.

The K4 Project has a super cute Kitty Christmas stocking pattern, which is worked in worsted weight yarn. They also have a dog version, or you can buy both and get a discount if you have both dogs and cats to knit for. Both projects have two patterns, showing how to work the stockings flat or in the round.

Put your dog into a Christmas scene with this stocking pattern from ifanhourChild. It shows a dog in a dog house in the snow, and has room for the dog’s name at the top. It’s worked flat using worsted weight yarn and the pattern includes charts for many small and medium dog breeds (there’s a separate listing for bigger dogs) so you can stitch a dog that looks like yours.

Annie’s Woolens has both dog and cat stocking knitting patterns that are worked in worsted weight yarn in the round. You can change up the colors to suit your pet if you want, and they come with an alphabet chart for personalization. Or you can stick with holiday colors and buy a kit to make the dog or cat stocking.

Waiting for Santa Paws is a pattern from Kate Agner on Ravelry that would be cute for a dog or a cat. It looks like a leg with a paw print on the bottom part of the foot and more paw prints running around the top of the leg. This is a great option if you don’t want to mess with a heel turn because it doesn’t have a heel, because dogs and cats don’t have heels so why would their stockings?
