About this pattern

One plump piece of candy corn standing on its base: a white tip, an orange middle and a yellow base. A darker shade runs down the right side of the orange and yellow bands and under the base, and a small white streak of light sits at the left of the orange band and another on the yellow. The outline is the same on both sides. Dark brown outline. The tip is stitched in white, so it shows best on a natural or colored fabric. A mini piece for a gift tag, a treat bag or a card. Full crosses only. It is 23 by 31 stitches and uses six thread colors.

23 stitches wide by 31 high: 535 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Pale Yellow 744, Dark Autumn Gold 3853, Winter White 3865 and 3 more).
