This project has a huge cute factor! They work up so quickly that they make fun little Halloween party favors, little just because you’re awesome gifts for friends, and of course, and don’t forget fun decorations to add around the house. My girls are wanting to put key rings in the top to add them to their school bags for some fun festive flair and I think that by putting some catnip inside (and embroider the face instead of using safety eyes) that you have a pet-friendly and festive toy as well! So many options and all so cute!

And since they take so little yarn to make each one they make a great stash buster project!

Using size 10 crochet thread and a 2 (1.50mm) steel crochet hook, with the same pattern created a candy corn about 1.25” (4.5cm) tall. I think it would be fun to turn these into earrings or a necklace for some whimsical holiday fun.
