If your toesies are cold, crochet a festive pair of candy corn slippers to keep your feet cozy! My candy corn slipper pattern is simple to crochet and I know you will love the warm results as much as I do. Crochet a pair to wear or share, just in time for Halloween and the harvest season. This pattern will fit size 8 – 9 shoe.

With yarn needle, use tail to sew up heel seam. (See image.) Finish, weave ends.
