Crochet Candy Corn Mummy Amigurumi
With its playful twist on Halloween themes, this handcrafted piece brings a touch of whimsy wherever it sits. Witness the charm of this little mummy as it adds a festive spirit to your home without saying a word.
Supplies Needed:
- 5 mm crochet hook
- Yarn in orange, yellow, and white (all weight 4)
- Embroidery thread and a threading needle
- Safety eyes (9 mm preferred, but 10 mm black eyes work if you want a different look)
- Scissors and a hot glue gun
- Stuffing material (yarn scraps can work)
Candy Corn Base:
White Tip:
- Row 1: Create a slip knot, chain 2, then make 2 single crochets into the first chain. Chain 1 and turn.
- Row 2: Single crochet into the first stitch, then increase (2 single crochets in one stitch) in the next stitch. Chain 1 and turn.
- Continue increasing the rows by following the pattern: single crochet in each stitch across until the last stitch, then increase in the last stitch. Repeat this process, adding one more single crochet before the increase in every new row.
Switch to Orange Yarn after completing the desired height in white (approximately 8 rows for a small base).
Orange Middle:
- Follow the same pattern as the white section, increasing at the end of each row until you've completed around 8 rows with orange or until the piece looks proportionate.
Yellow Base:
- Finally, switch to yellow yarn and continue the same pattern for another 4 rows or until you're satisfied with the color proportions and size. Finish off the base without increasing on the last row to avoid a pointy bottom.
Finishing:
Bordering: Single crochet around the edge of the entire candy corn with corresponding colors for a neat finish.
- Assembly: Repeat the same pattern to create the back piece of the candy corn amigurumi.
- Decoration: Use embroidery thread to sew a mouth and attach safety eyes.
- Chain Wrap: Crochet a long chain with white yarn (about 250 chains or longer, adjust based on your size and preference), then wrap it around the candy corn body to create the mummy effect. Use a hot glue gun to secure the chain in place.
- Filling: Sew almost all the edge of both pieces together, stuff the amigurumi, then close it up.
