Halloween is almost here, and one of the holiday’s most classic treats is candy corn! From cuddly amigurumi buddies to accessories like keychains and hair ties, this round-up has something for everyone to crochet this autumn!
But before diving in, let’s make sure you have everything you need to successfully craft amigurumi. Yarn and a hook are important, of course, but you’ll also want stitch markers to keep track of your stitches while working in the round, as well as fiber-fill stuffing and something to give your characters a face. Some of the most common materials used for amigurumi faces are safety eyes, yarn, and felt.
