Hand Knit Candy Corn Coasters

In honor of the coming month I decided to make these Candy Corn Coasters to help set the mood for Halloween.  I love October and everything it brings with the beautiful changing leaves, crisp air and not to mention the excuse of setting out candy in pretty dishes that doubles as decorative pieces and snacks, plus who could forget the scary movies!  Jamie Lee Curtis anyone?

I am so excited for October and yet terrified at the same time for it to come this Tuesday because I am scheduled to take the GRE that day.  I am super nervous so in between studying I have been constructing these Halloween inspired coasters to help evaporate some of my stress, and believe it or not it has kinda worked.  Try them out.  Knit them up.  Decorate your dinner table.  They are so easy and great for a beginner who is just learning to knit.  All you need to know is how to work the knit stitch and the basic knit 2 stitches together decrease.
A printable PDF version of this pattern is available for purchase here.

    2. looking for the candy corn knitting directions for a dish cloth. I have a friend who loves candy corn. Can you send the directions to me? I would really appreciate it.

    1. Hi Carol! There was an error in the pattern, it read “Rows 27 – 24” then went on with Row 35. It should have read “Rows 27 – 34”. My apologies for the error! It has been updated. Also, I made a video tutorial of this project as well as a new blog post with updated photography that it will be released on my website tomorrow morning, so be sure to check back if you’re interested!
