The Quickie Candy is a quick, easy, and no-sew amigurumi pattern. It takes less than 15 minutes to crochet from start to finish, making it a great last-minute gift, party favor, stocking stuffer, and craft fair product. You can also make it as a cute, non-food gift for different holidays and occasions, such as a sweet addition to an Easter basket, Valentine’s Day class gifts, and Halloween treats.
This design is designed with bulky weight 5 chenille velvet yarn for a plush look. However, it can also be crocheted with thinner yarn weights, cotton and acrylic fibers, and different hook sizes. It is easy to customize with a variety of yarn colors. In addition, it can easily be turned into a keychain or hanging ornament!
The PDF pattern includes written instructions, step-by-step photo references, link to a full video tutorial, and printable Valentine’s Day gift tags.
