Hard Candy.
You know what I’m talking about, those sweet little candies wrapped in a plastic wrapper that your grandma always had in her purse?
I know it’s a little unorthodox, and I’m sure you’ve never even thought about it, but I just know you’re dying to knit one!

Knit them in a rainbow of colors and attach them along with your tag to presents as a beautiful embellishment.
Race them against gumdrops, gummy bears and cupcakes on your new Gumdrop Run game blanket.

Or hang them from a mobile for a sweet baby in your life.
I know you’ll find a million and one places that just NEED a little candy to brighten them up!
