Step-by-Step Pattern
Corn (Body)
Base Corn Knob:
- Round 1: Start with a Magic Ring (MR). Work 6 Single Crochets (SC) into the ring. [6 stitches]
- Round 2-3: SC in each stitch around. [6 stitches]
- Round 4: INC in each stitch around (2 SC in each stitch). [12 stitches]
- Round 5: INC in each stitch around (2 SC in each stitch). [24 stitches]
- Rounds 6-8: SC in each stitch around. [24 stitches]
Main Corn Body:
- Round 9: DC in BLO all the way around, making 2 DC in each stitch. [48 stitches]
- This creates a ring around the top.
- Round 10: Begin alternating “Out and In” double crochets:
- Out: DC around the previous stitch (making it “pop out”).
- In: Regular DC through both loops in the next stitch.
- Repeat this Out/In pattern for 11 more rounds (12 rounds total).
- Finish the corn body with a slip stitch (SL ST) and fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.
Leaves (Make Two)
- Round 1: Create a Magic Ring (MR). Insert 12 SC in FLO to begin the foundation of the leaf. [12 stitches]
- Round 2:
- Chain (CH) 1, turn, and SC 12 stitches back across. [12 stitches]
- Round 3:
- Chain (CH) 1, turn, and decrease by 1 at the start and end, with 8 SC in between. [10 stitches]
- Rounds 4-5: Repeat the straight SC rows across (10 stitches).
- Round 6: Decrease by two (1 at each end of the row). SC 8 stitches in between. [8 stitches]
- Rounds 7-8: Work straight SC rows across (8 stitches).

Fasten off and weave in the tail to secure.
Repeat to make the second leaf, attaching the new yarn to the corn body by inserting into a convenient point.
Assembly
- Place the yellow corn body in the center of the completed leaves. Use the tail left after fastening the corn to sew it securely to the leaves.
- While sewing, leave a small opening for stuffing. Use fiberfill to lightly stuff both the yellow corn body and base leaves.
- Finish sewing, ensuring the stitches align neatly for a clean finish. Pull the leaves up around the corn body for the realistic cob look.
Final Touches
- Tidy up by hiding or snipping any leftover yarn ends.
- Use your fingers to shape the corn. You’re done!
Key to Success
- Use high-quality yarn for vibrant colors and durability.
- Pay attention to the stitch count for accurate shaping.
- Take your time to stuff the corn evenly for a neat finish.
- Follow the pattern’s instructions carefully to avoid missteps.
