Your little ones will be so sweet in their candy corn hats this fall season. Add a cute t-shirt or make a matching candy corn sweater and they are set for a visit to the pumpkin patch or a stroll around town. The free crochet pattern can be found below or purchase the ad free pdf at ETSY.
I sometimes use affiliate links in my posts. This won’t cost you anything, but will help offset the cost of yarn and other supplies needed, so that I can continue bringing you crochet patterns and craft ideas. Thank you so much for your support.
Candy Corn hats all embellished for your little ones. They will be warm and sweet in these precious hats.I loved eating candy corn as a child.
I would eat the tip off first, then the middle, then the bottom. I loved relishing each section. I felt like each section tasted a little differently. I know the Indian Corn tasted different. Do they call it Indian Candy Corn any longer? I am showing my age aren’t I?

Embellishments for the Candy Corn Hat
Sew plastic buttons on with needle and thread, then thread 7” piece of yarn or ribbon into yarn needle. The easiest way to sew on that button is to start by going down at the three oclock position, leaving a tail, come back up at 12 oclock,back down at 6 oclock, and back up at 9 o’clock, securely tie yarn into a knot. Trim and separate
strands if using yarn.
You can also add pretty lace trims, making sure to stretch the hat, and pin in place, or the hat will be too tight. Stretch the hat as you sew the lace in place, and then add buttons or hand sew a bow or two…the possibilities are endless
If you want to add the layered button look to your hat, place buttons how you want them Pic 1, then scotch tape them in place Pic 2, Sew them in place. Pic 3 carefully remove scotch tape.
