Candy Corn Pillow This pattern is worked in the round.

Yellow (A), Orange (B), and White (C) yarn. (Or black/orange/white, or black/purple/green or whatever you want!) Medium Weight Yarn (Size 4) J-10 Hook (6 mm) Stuffing Optional: Stitch Marker This pattern requires the ability to create a magic circle, US double crochet (DC), US single crochet (SC), double crochet two together (dc2tog), single crochet two together (sc2tog), and back loop single crochet (BLsc). If you would prefer a tighter stitch, instead of DCs use SCs and add an additional row of only SCs for each round. For example row 29 would look like this: *3 SC, 1 sc2tog* repeat ** around 5 times. (20) Then SC 20 times. (20) This method has not been tested, but in theory it should work. Please e-mail me if you try this method (kkracky@att.net) and let me know how it turns out!

(55) 22. *9 DC, 1 dc2tog* repeat ** around 5 times. (50) 23. *8 DC, 1 dc2tog* repeat ** around 5 times. (45) 24. *7 DC, 1 dc2tog* repeat ** around 5 times.

28. *4 DC, 1 dc2tog* repeat ** around 5 times. (25)

This would be a good time to start stuffing and shaping, and after each round from now on. Make sure not to over fluff it because this was done in DCs there is a bit of space in-between stitched and you dont want stuffing busting out. 29. *3 DC, 1 dc2tog* repeat ** around 5 times. (20) 30. *2 DC, 1 dc2tog* repeat ** around 5 times. (15) 31. *1 DC, 1 dc2tog* repeat ** around 5 times. (10) 32. sc2tog until you can not anymore and finish off!
