Are you ready for the easiest amigurumi pattern ever? My beginner amigurumi tutorial will walk you through each step so you can crochet this adorable Candy Corn Family in no time flat.

Pin for Later!
Even if you don’t find this iconic Halloween candy scary I hope you’ll want to dive into this super simple amigurumi tutorial. Above all, I designed these toys with the absolute beginner in mind. I’m going to walk you through each and every step so that you can crochet your very own candy corn.
Introducing the Corn Family
First, I would like to first introduce you to the Corn family. Christopher Corn, is a devoted husband and father. He enjoys golfing and DIY projects. Secondly Candace Corn, better known as Candy loves baking. She is particularly well known for her Boston Cream pies. Finally, Caroline Corn, is the baby of the family and spends her days giggling and blowing raspberries.
Skills Needed
To begin this beginner amigurumi tutorial you are going to need to have a few foundational skills.
Also the video shows each step and walks the absolute beginner from start to finish!

- How to single crochet
That’s it! Now if you don’t already know how to do either of those…. I’ve got you covered! Check out my blog post YouTube video here. I walk you through how to make a magic ring and how to single crochet.
