Candy Corn Potholder
Designed by: Cylinda Mathews
Materials:
Worsted weight yarn, (Cream, Yellow, Orange)
Crochet hook, size I
1" Plastic ring Finishing Materials:
Tapestry needle
Finished Size: arppox. 9" L x 7 3/4" W (at widest point)
Gauge: Not important to over all size.
Skill Level: Medium
Note: When I designed the candy corn fridgie and potholder I didn't have any Candy Corn on hand. In trying to remember the color sequence I guessed light to dark. Since that time I discovered these simple treats I've eaten all my life are actually light on top, orange in the center and yellow on bottom!

Row 2) Ch 3 (counts as first dc); (4 dc) in joining: 5 dc.
Rnd 3) (Working in front lps only); ch 3, (2 dc) in joining, dc in next 3 dc, (3 dc) in last dc, working back the opposite side of work, in free lps, dc in next 3 dc; join with a sl st to first dc: 12 dc.
Rnd 4) (Working in both lps); ch 3, (3 dc) in next dc, dc in next 5 dc, (3 dc) in next dc, dc in last 4 dc; join with a sl st to first dc: 16 dc.
Rnd 5) Ch 3, dc in next dc, (3 dc) in next dc, dc in next 7 dc, (3 dc) in next dc, dc in last 5 dc; join with a sl st to first dc: 20 dc.
Rnd 6) Ch 3, dc in next 2 dc, (3 dc) in next dc, dc in next 9 dc, (3 dc) in next dc, dc in last 6 dc; join with a sl st to first dc, dropping old color and picking up new color, yellow: 24 dc.
Rnd 7) Using yellow; ch 3, dc in next 3 dc, (3 dc) in next dc, dc in next 11 dc, (3 dc) in next dc, dc in last 7 dc; join with a sl st to first dc: 28 dc.
Rnd 8) Ch 3, dc in next 4 dc, (3 dc) in next dc, dc in next 13 dc, (3 dc) in next dc, dc in last 8 dc; join with a sl st to first dc: 32 dc.
Rnd 9) Ch 3, dc in next 5 dc, (3 dc) in next dc, dc in next 15 dc, (3 dc) in next dc, dc in last 9 dc; join with a sl st to first dc: 36 dc.
Rnd 10) Ch 3, dc in next 6 dc, (3 dc) in next dc, dc in next 17 dc, (3 dc) in next dc, dc in last 10 dc; join with a sl st to first dc, dropping old color and picking up new color, orange: 40 dc.
Rnd 11) Using orange; ch 3, dc in next 7 dc, (3 dc) in next dc, dc in next 19 dc, (3 dc) in next dc, dc in last 11 dc; join with a sl st to first dc: 44 dc.
Rnd 12) Ch 3, dc in next 8 dc, (3 dc) in next dc, dc in next 21 dc, (3 dc) in next dc, dc in last 12 dc; join with a sl st to first dc: 48 dc.
Rnd 13) Ch 3, dc in next 9 dc, (3 dc) in next dc, dc in next 23 dc, (3 dc) in next dc, dc in last 13 dc; join with a sl st to first dc: 52 dc.
Rnd 14) Ch 3, dc in next 10 dc, (3 dc) in next dc, dc in next 25 dc, (3 dc) in next dc, dc in last 14 dc; join with a sl st to first dc: 56 dc. Fasten off, secure ends.
Joining and Edging:
Flatten potholder so that each 3 dc increase is on each side. Join orange to first and last dc of increase on side (omitting center dc of increase); ch 1, sc through both sides as once; * sc in next dc and through corresponding dc on back of potholder; rept from * across ending with a sc through the first and last dc of increase on opposite side, again omitting the center dc of increase.
