Crochet Candy canes

[SoupDragon]

They are so cute!

Very easy - chain 52, insert hook in 2nd chain from hook and 3 DC into each loop of the chain until you get to the end. It will curl into a spiral. Make one red, one white, twist them together and then twist a pipe cleaner into the middle. Finish off ends and bend.

I will go and find where I got the pattern from in a second.

Great stuff!

i can't identify the page I got it from. there are many similar ones though.

Brilliant! Thanks for sharing. Much more elegant han ones I made as a child (two pipecleaners, one red, one White, wrapped together).

:-)

Oohh! Lovely.

Thanks for sharing - another idea for the Christmas tree and look very quick to make up!

Having spent time sewing the ends in, I think you need to leave long til either at the beginning or the end and wen you twist the two spirals together, aim to have a tail at either end.

You can also make them in green and shape them into wreaths.

Ooh fab and easy too!

Can you link to the wreaths?

The principle was the same... use green yarn, make two the same, twist together, shove a pipe cleaner in the middle and bend to a wreath. I guess you have to sew the ends together. Hang on, I think I pinned it... Here
