We couldn't think of a better way to welcome everybody back to our blog than by giving you some free patterns just in time for Halloween! Our candy corn patterns were originally going to replace our Tulip patterns for our newsletter subscribers, but technical issues held it back too long and we didn't want to wait to give you this pattern until next year. Today we've got our crafty*alien amigurumi candy corn pattern for crochet! But don't worry, we'll have our knit version available tomorrow. Be sure to subscribe to our blog so you get our patterns and goodies sent right to your email!
