Edging of Candy Corn
*Use your 3.00 mm hook and same yellow, orange, and white yarn for the edging.
In order to give the candy corn a finished/polished look, single crochet evenly around its perimeter (outside of candy corn). Change color in the same manner you did for the body of the candy corn (join/pull through new color when completing the last step of the final sc in old color). Cut yarn after each color change.
***Once you finish weaving in all loose ends, your candy corn button-on appliqué is ready to be placed on a ½-inch orange button!
TIP: Press the appliqué with an iron using a press cloth for protection to help it lay flat and keep its shape.
