Try your hand at another Halloween crochet pattern! Meet Clarence the Candy Corn! This free amigurumi pattern will allow you to make an adorable candy corn plushie.

Hi everyone!

I had some neon yarn left over from making my adorable neon fruit bats, and I couldn’t figure out what I wanted to make with it. Since I had both orange and yellow, I thought I should stick with the Halloween crochet pattern theme I was going with and design a candy corn crochet pattern.

Allow me to introduce Clarence the Candy Corn! This little crochet cutie is based on my watermelon slice amigurumi. They are made almost the same besides the colour changes. If you like this pattern, why not head over and try making my watermelon slice amigurumi?

Clicking on certain links may result in a small commission for me at no extra cost to you. Money generated from this allows me to continue to design and post cute amigurumi patterns for you all!
