It’s never too late for Indian corn
Growing up in Pittsburgh, I have fond memories of going to the annual Applejamm at Beechwood Farms (yes, the “s” is supposed to be there). Pittsburgh is rather small and surrounded by hilly Pennsylvania farmland. Beechwood Farms is just outside the city limits, and about a 20-minute drive from where I lived. What is an Applejamm, you ask?:
Make a scarecrow, find a needle in a haystack, listen to live music, sip apple cider, enjoy candy apples and participate in other crafts, demonstrations and educational activities throughout the grounds.
In addition, I remember eating gingerbread men with raisin eyes, seeing lots of Indian corn scattered throughout, and going on nature trails. It definitely contributed to why fall is my favorite season and how reading this post reminded me that I need to write this one! I appreciate the fact that I grew up in an area where I could see Santas from Around the World in a big skyscraper downtown as well as go to pumpkin farms. I could go to professional sports teams’ games as well as hike the Trillium Trail. I can understand so much better why Pittsburgh is occasionally voted the Most Livable City.
And now this girl from a medium-sized city brings you crochet Indian corn from her little home in a big city. I really wanted to post the pattern before Halloween, but October was crazy and, hey, Indian corn is relevant throughout fall. It’s after the jump!
You will need:
G and J hook
Variety of yarn, including off-white for husk
Needle
Stuffing
Notes: I used either a G or J hook, depending on the kind of yarn. I used two strands of yarn in each of these corns. In the thicker corns, I used a regular worsted weight yarn plus a Lion Brand HOMESPUN yarn, in which case I used the J hook. This type of yarn can be difficult to work with, but I love the colors and texture. I also stuff as I go along, because it will get tight towards the end. For the yellow and orange corn with flecks of black, I made one randomly placed black sc as I crocheted each row. Just carry the black through on the inside as you go along. For more info on the exact types of yarn I used, leave a comment! I have all the yarn papers in a pile!
For the cob:
With a G or J hook, ch 2, 4sc, join (if doubling at least one thick yarn, make 5sc instead)
Ch 1 and sc around for 2 rounds (no joining from here on out)
*Make 1 increase and sc for 2 rounds
Repeat 2 more times
Sc for 3 rounds.
Dec once and sc for 1 round.
Dec once and sc for 2 rounds.
Join and finish off. Tuck the end inside.
For the husk:
*With off-white yarn and a G hook, ch 18 and sl (slip stitch) across.
Ch 15 and repeat (always sl stitch to that first ch)*
Repeat between * * until you have 7 separate sl stitched pieces.
Finish off leaving an 8-inch tail.
Insert the husk into the corn cob and sew to the inside of the cob so that your sewing stitches do not show.
I tied some of them up in bunches of 2 or 3 with simple twine. I also had some beige necklace cable/rope in my jewelry-making box that would work too.

I would also be interested in the colors/yarns that you used for this pattern. When you start the husk and you say to “make 1 increase” do you mean a chain 1? Or is that something different? I’m not familiar with increasing in crochet, mostly knitting. Also, when you mention dec once and Sc around what exactly are you referring to. I get the single crochet around part, but how exactly are you decreasing a stitch on those rows?
Thanks

Please could you post or email me the yarns you used to make this candy corn. It’s adorable and can’t wait to make it! Thank you

Oops! I meant Infian Corn…

Could I please have the names of colors that you used? I’ve never seen these before. I absolutely love these!! Fantastic job!!!

I just lve the indian corn and i know what you mean about growing up in a small town. I grew up in Michigan in a small town going to a farm to go on hay rides and all the things that go with it.

I was a bit disappointed in the instructions. For a person who is actually writing and creating it, or for experienced crocheters, sure the short notes are all that is needed, however, as a written pattern for the beginner masses, it isn’t exactly the clearest. You say use 2 strands but dont show how. You say to increase but dont say how. You say decrease but dont say how. Yes that information can be looked up to find out, but if people have to go elsewhere to find out how, they wont be coming back to your patterns. They will use the patterns that explain/show it all in one place. I hope you dont take this as my trying to be mean or rude. Just giving you some things to consider for future patterns.
October 10th, 2018 at 7:50 pm
My apologies. I jist realized its an intermediate pattern. While I stand by my points, and even with an intermediate pattern, many like to have things clearly written out in one place. So sorry about the “for beginner” comments. In my defense, I just got out of the hospital and haven’t slept the last 3 days, hence my missing the “Intermediate” that was marked on the All Free Crochet webpage.

Thank you for the FREE pattern, too bad for all the ungrateful commenters who can’t be bothered looking up BASIC crochet terms like increase, decrease, etc. It may not be a beginner pattern (not everything CAN be, sometimes you have to challenge yourself) but it is definitely easy. For those of you who can’t bother to google basic terms, an INCREASE is 2 stitches in one (hence adding a stitch to the round) a single crochet DECREASE is inserting your hook into 2 consecutive stitches, pulling up a loop in each and then finishing the stitch by pulling your yarn through all 3 stitches, thus turning 2 stitches into one.

When someone writes an piece of writing he/she keeps the idea of a
user in his/her mind that how a user can understand it.
Therefore that’s why this piece of writing is outstdanding.

Maize is rich in dietary fiber, containing both soluble and insoluble fibers. However, the high content of insoluble fiber, which helps prevent constipation and bowel problems by promoting soft and bulky stools that can move easily through the intestines.
This helps avoid irritable bowel syndrome and diarrhea. With the easy movement of stool, many digestive problems such as constipation, hemorrhoids and colon cancer can be avoided.
The soluble fiber in corn helps prevent cholesterol absorption by turning it into a gel-like resemblance.

I am also an experienced crocheter, and while I do appreciate the time taken to create and publish this pattern, it is incredibly unclear. It’s rare to find a pattern written in such a bizarre way. Saying things like: *Make 1 increase and sc for 2 rounds Repeat 2 more times”… did you mean to alternate an increase and sc for actually four rounds? Or did you mean repeat from the beginning of the pattern for 2 more rounds, for example? To the other commenters, yes people can look up how to do an increase or decrease, but I highly doubt any of you actually attempted to make this corn. Try to make one from the written instructions right now, and you’ll see what I mean.

This is PERFECT! Because of Covid, I can’t get out for Thanksgiving decorations (although the stores only have Christmas decorations by now….) so I’ll raid the stash and whip these up. Ps. The instructions seem pretty clear to me!

I’m not sure what you mean by this: ch 2, 4sc, join (
Do you mean ch 2, then do 2 sc in each chain? Where do you join it?
Why didn’t you do a magic circle of 4 and 4 sc?

I love this! Thanks for sharing. I found the pattern easy to read. I did make mine a bit bigger in girth & longer.
