Pull loop on hook to make a long loop, temporarily. This will prevent your stitches being pulled out while you stuff your candy corn. When I did this, the opening was enough to fit my finger. If yours is too tight, back out a round and stop at round 17, your candy corn will still turn out find. Stuff with stuffing. Then, fasten off, leaving a long tail. With blunt needle, sew through stitches at the top of the candy corn, cinching the top closed. Tie off and weave ends inside candy corn.
