Halloween is a favorite holiday to most in the United States! It is one of my personal favorites, but I’m not into the scary Halloween. I like CUTE Halloween. And what is cuter than candy corn?! Since the usual Halloween festivities aren’t going to be like previous years (thanks, COVID-19), I am celebrating the spooky season of 2020 by knitting all of the cute things. Candy Corn CUTE Hat was one of my most popular makes, back when I sold my knit items. The hat is simple, festive and a QUICK knit. It looks adorable on all ages and people, too! I’d like to share one of my favorite (and easy) designs with you to celebrate a new Halloween with me, 2020 style. Pattern is ©Lovely by Lee. Please tag @lovelybylee and #lovelybylee #CandyCornCUTEHat when sharing this make on social media.
