My Candy Corn bonnet knitting pattern features a classic candy corn color scheme, bright yellow, vibrant orange, and bright white, just like the Halloween treat we all love (Or hate? Or love to hate?) But wouldn’t it make a really cute candy corn Halloween costume?
One of my favorite parts of this pattern is the adorable candy corn i-cord ties. These ties are functional AND cute. Adding these ties in candy corn colors is also a great way to use up those little leftover bits of yarn you have lying around!
And of course, the pattern includes instructions to knit this bonnet in four different sizes, from baby to toddler to kid, so you can create the perfect fit for the special little ones in your life. It makes a great gift for Halloween!

Candy Corn Bonnet Knitting Pattern Instructions (12 month size only)
Using circular needles as straight needles, use yellow yarn to cast on 72 stitches with a long tail cast on.
This bonnet is knit flat.
Rib stitch edge: (k1, p1) repeat for 6 rows
Continue on in stockinette stitch with a garter stitch edging as follows:
Row 1 (RS): knit all stitches
Row 2: (WS): k6, purl 60, k6
Work each color, yellow, then orange, then white for
2 2/3 inches each as shown until the bonnet is 8 inches long. After a wrong side row, finish with a 3 needle bind off.
To add ties:
Using double pointed needles, pick up 3 stitches with yellow yarn on one corner just after the garter stitch front edge.
Then, knit an i-cord using those 3 stitches until the tie is 3 inches long. Switch to orange yarn and continue knitting the icord for another 3 inches. Then switch to white yarn aknd knit the icorn for the final 3 inches. Cut yarn, pull through stitches at the end of the i-cord to close, and weave in the ends.
Repeat with the other tie. Be sure to block your bonnet before wearing.
Please use common sense, don’t tie the chin straps too tightly and never leave baby unattended while wearing your bonnet.
Happy Knitting!
