Candy Corn Pouch

They are approximately 4″ tall and 2″ wide. Starting with yellow yarn..
Magic ring, ch 1, make 10 SC in ring, join, ch 1
Rd 2: 2 SC in first, SC in next, repeat around, join, ch 1 (15 SC)
Rd 3: 2 SC in first, SC in next 2, repeat around, join, ch 1 (20 SC)
Rd 4: 2 SC in first, SC in next 3, repeat around, join, ch 1 (25 SC)
Rd 5: in back loops only, SC around (25 SC) do not join, continue to SC in rounds.
Rd 6-8: now working in both loops, SC in each stitch around (25 SC)
Change color to orange…
Rd 9-14: SC in each stitch around (25 SC)
Change color to white…
Rd 15-17: SC in each stitch around (25 SC), join, ch 3 at the end of rd 17. The ch 3 will count as your first double crochet.
Rd 18: DC in each stitch around.
Fasten off weave in ends.
String yarn (I braided 3 strands of yarn together) or ribbon over and under the row of dc’s. Tie in a bow to close. Strand should be about 12″ in long.

Does it bother you when you crochet in rounds and your rows look staggered? You know, when you switch color and they get that step up stitch? It drives me crazy! I haven’t found a great solution to this but a better way of hiding it is when you end one color, make a slip stitch to join in the last stitch of that row. In the same stitch begin your new color by making a standing single crochet (you don’t chain 1 before single crocheting). HERE is a great tutorial for this.

Here is my before (picture on the left) and after (picture on the right) of the difference this makes. It’s not perfect, but better!

Fill with candy for a sweet halloween treat or small toy, coins or whatever you wish!
