Turn the iconic candy corn into a useful accessory for your kitchen with this crochet Halloween Candy Corn Dishcloth pattern.
This triangle washcloth is crocheted entirely using the Suzette stitch, which creates a solid, grainy texture that is perfect for absorbing water.
If you’re a beginner crocheter, don’t jump right into this pattern because it might be a little challenging to place stitches in the right places. Instead, make a simple swatch using the Suzette stitch to get familiar with it.
