Butterscotch Free Crochet Candy Pattern: 31 Days of Candy Day 15

Can you believe it?? We’re halfway through the 31 Days of Candy! This month is just flying by as we go through this month of candy. I’m also less than two weeks away from my wedding, and can’t believe that it is already here! Thank goodness for my wedding coordinator, Kellie, because without her I wouldn’t be able to do this crochet event this month.

 

Today’s candy is a Butterscotch, which is such an oh so delicious candy that I love! I love the buttery, sweet, and caramel like flavors of this type of yummy candy. If something is similar to caramel then I’ll most definitely enjoy it! Are you a fan of butterscotch at all?

 

For me, butterscotch is associated the most with Harry Potter and Butter Beer. I loved reading about all of the adventures Harry, Ron, and Hermione had while going to Hogsmeade and the delicious Butter Beer they’d have. I dreamed of being able to try this butterscotch treat, and last year I did!

My fiancé and I at Harry Potter World

For the first year of us dating, my fiancé and I got Universal Studios Hollywood passes, where the wonderful Harry Potter World is! Getting those passes was one of the best decisions we made besides dating each other, haha. We got to visit the park 7 times over the course of the year, and our favorite stop on each trip was going to Hogsmeade to get Butter Beer. This delicious treat is a butterscotch flavored soda, that you can get frosted which makes it a butterscotch slushy. It is amazing! It made me fall in love with Butterscotch, and I would love butterscotch candies all the time.

 

This design was inspired by all of the fun and memories that my fiancé and I had while we got to go to Universal Studios Hollywood in Harry Potter World. The fun face captures the joy we had going there, and the little size means that I get to carry this candy with me wherever I go, so the memories stay with me all the time.

 

The pattern is almost the same as the Salt Water Taffy pattern from last week, which is a quick and simple pattern. It uses Paintbox Yarns Simply DK, and Premier Yarns Downton Abbey, which work really well together. Since Premier Yarns Downton Abbey Yarn has been discontinued, I recommend using Lion Brand Baby Soft in White, or another white Dk weight yarn. If you’d like to make a larger candy, you can also use a worsted weight yarn. Whichever yarn you choose it will be just as cute! Let’s get started!
