Crochet Candy Corn Garland

Halloween is just 10 days away!  My kids finally settled on Tinker Bell and Superman although it took some bribing to get them to stick with those.  There was a little bit of cajoling to have Miss T not choose Doc McStuffins which then my little man also wanted to be.  I so did not have time to make a doctor's coat, let alone 2 of them.  Oh kids.



A week ago I had this idea pop into my head and I couldn't rest until I finished it.  It's a crochet candy corn garland and is a pretty quick project using just single crochet stitches.  I crocheted in the back stitches to give it the ridged look to give it some more texture.  I love how it turned out.  Hope you enjoy!
