Materials
- Amour Crochet Hook G (4.0mm) – Art. No 1045/G
- Scissors
- Yarn needle
- Poly-fil stuffing
- 10 mm safety eyes
- 3 inch circle of plastic canvas (optional)
- Worsted weight yarn:
- Red, pink, or gray
- White (tag)
- Scrap of black (mouth)
This finished product will measure approximately 4 inches tall and 3 ½ inches wide.
The plastic canvas is totally optional. The candy kiss will naturally have a flat bottom if stuffed carefully, but I feel the plastic canvas does help a lot with it sitting nicely.
I got my plastic canvas off Amazon, but it should be available at most craft stores as well. You may use cardboard instead of plastic canvas. However, I would not recommend cardboard if there is a chance your finished item could get wet.
If you need to make your plastic canvas piece bigger or smaller, that’s ok. My measurements are just guidelines that should fit most pieces. You can lay your plastic on your finished piece to trim accordingly before final assembly.
Tag (white)
- ch 8
- starting at the second ch from the hook, sc 7
- fasten off, tie the 2 tails in a knot. Set tag aside for attaching later.
Body (red, pink, or gray)
- sc 4 into a MR (4) (Keep the tail from the MR long. You will use this later for attaching the tag.)

- Add eyes in-between rounds 17 and 18, four stitches apart.

- Thread your yarn needle with the tails of the tag and attatch thru the center of your MR. Secure by tying the tails together on the inside of the kiss with the tail from the MR.
