No-Sew Candy Amigurumi – Free Crochet Pattern

Hi there, Happy very early Halloween! This no-sew candy amigurumi pattern is inspired by a kind fellow crocheter who told me her young child was learning how to crochet and wanted a piece of candy to make! I loved the idea, and definitely wanted to make this pattern for Halloween. Though, candy is good anytime of year! This no-sew candy is a part of my “Scraptacular Halloween” series this year. I’ve released 4 different Halloween themed patterns that are all quick and easy to make with your scrap yarns 🙂 Besides this no-sew candy amigurumi pattern, the other patterns include a mini candy corn, eyeball, and mini pumpkin. That’s not all…

• Before we get started…
This candy pattern is so quick and easy! There’s no sewing required, so you can make these a lot faster compared to most amigurumis. They turn out mini if you use the recommended yarn, however, they also turn out great (and bigger) in blanket yarn 🙂

• Let’s Get Started!
We will start by creating the back piece of the candy, then the front piece. After we create both pieces, we will crochet them together. As we crochet them together we will be forming the “wrapper” part. After this, we’ll sew on a smile. Then we’re done!

Back Piece of Candy: (Make first)

In any color

Round 1: 6 Sc into a Magic Ring (6)
Round 2: *Inc* all around (12)
Round 3: *Inc, Sc* all around (18)
Round 4: *Inc, Sc 2* all around (24)
Round 5: *Sc* all around (24)
Finish off the first piece now and weave in ends.

Front piece of candy: (Make second)

In any color

Round 1: 6 Sc into a Magic Ring (6)
Round 2: *Inc* all around (12)
We will add eye stitch markers into Round 2. These will mark where to place the safety eyes later. Add a stitch marker in the 4th and 9th stitch.

Round 3: *Inc, Sc* all around (18)
Round 4: *Inc, Sc 2* all around (24)
Round 5: *Sc* all around (24)
Add safety eyes in the marked areas now. In the next round we will assembly both pieces together to form the candy.

Round 6: Take the first piece we made and line it up to the second piece’s stitches as shown (Pic 1). Make sure the eyes are on the outside, not the inside. Insert your hook going through BOTH the stitches (Pic 2). Yarn over and pull up a loop (Pic 3-5).
