Halloween Candy
"This is a quick and easy beginner friendly candy pattern. Perfect for halloween, christmas, birthday and any candy lovers special occasions. The candy is worked as one piece and can work up innunder an hour. When making the candy you can choose to have a solid colour or add as many colour changes as you please. I enjoy the twist wraps and main body having different colours. You can use any yarn type or colour you please to make these little ones and even add faces. Key chains can be added too. Suitable for beginners due to using a small number of stitches with no sewing needed. This pattern uses the following stitches: chain, single crochet, decrease(2 stitches to 1), increase(2 stitches in 1) and slip stitch. I used Marriner Get Cosy blanket yarn with a 6mm hook to acheive my black and orange candy. This yarn is now discontinued but blanket yarns can be substituted for a similar result. I hope you enjoy making the pattern."
