Introducing the Corn Family

First, I would like to first introduce you to the Corn family. Christopher Corn, is a devoted husband and father. He enjoys golfing and DIY projects. Secondly Candace Corn, better known as Candy loves baking. She is particularly well known for her Boston Cream pies. Finally, Caroline Corn, is the baby of the family and spends her days giggling and blowing raspberries.

To begin this beginner amigurumi tutorial you are going to need to have a few foundational skills.

    1. Oh great! Also, if she has never crocheted before my Amigurumi 101 part 3: Basic Skills could help her. Also the Bhooked Youtube channel has a very good beginner crochet series as well!

  3. I’m a complete and total newbie to the world of crocheting and I am absolutely LOVING your blog and YouTube series. I just want to say thank you so much for the wealth of information and for making it less intimidating for a beginner. I can not wait to make the little Candy Corn family and I feel like it’s fate because my name is Candice and it’s just in time for Halloween, how perfect is that?! Thank you, Elise! 🙂

  4. Hi Elise,
