Instructions:
The yarn I was using is 5 ply milk cotton yarn. I bought them on Aliexpress, they are nice and soft and I really like them. I tried to find them on amazon but they don’t have as many colors on amazon. You can replace them with any 5-ply sport sized yarn.
When making the base of the big candy corn, I started with chain stitches and increased each round. When the base reached the desired size, I worked only on the front loop. I continued to crochet the side using single crochet and single crochet decrease.
