Candy Corn Witch – Assembly 

• 

• 

Assembling your Crochet Candy Corn Witch is fairly simple.  Your witches arms should be sewn on approximately 2 rows down from the change from yellow to orange, within the yellow (middle) area.  Your witches legs should be sewn on approximately 2 rows down from the change from white to yellow, within the white area.  

The Witches Hat, should you choose to include it in your project, can be sewn on, if you choose to.  Simply place your hat in the desired location and sew onto your Crochet Candy Corn Witch with black yarn.  However, your hat does not need to be sewn on, and can be set upon the candy corn without sewing.  Another option is to use magnetic snaps on the bottom of your hat/the top of your Crochet Candy Corn Witch, to be able to change your Crochet Candy Corn Witches hat to things like a bow, or a top hat.  Or maybe just some hair!  There are no limits to dressing up your Crochet Candy Corn!

Candy Corn Witch – Modifications

If you don’t want your witch to have a pointed bottom, before stuffing your body, tuck the point into the body, and whip stitch at the desired location, to create a flatter bottom to your corn.
