Candy Corn Earrings crochet pattern by DivineDebris.com

Howdy! Happy second week of Halloween… er I mean October. 😀
I might have said last week, I know I’ve said it on other social media, this will be my last Halloween themed design. Sadly, I just have to move on to Winter designs. I know! I’m so sad too. That’s why I wanted to go out with an adorable bang – candy corn earrings.
These earrings are super easy, cute, and you can make as many as you want. They’re large enough to use as decorations too!

I really hope you like these lil’ cuties and make a pair or 5. 😀

Fasten off color C while leaving a 4″ – 6″ tail so you can close the opening on the earring.

– Closing –
With your needle, weave back and forth through the scs from row 22 until you get back to where you started, pull the yarn until you close the hole at the top of your candy corn. Weave your needle back and forth through the stitches as many times as you need to make sure row 22 is secure. The photos below show what I mean by weaving your needle over/ under the scs from row 22 to close the top.
