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.
