Materials You’ll Need

Before you get started, gather the following materials:

Yarn: You’ll need both red and white yarn for the candy cane’s stripes. Choose a soft and pliable yarn in your preferred brand and thickness.
Crochet Hook: Select an appropriate hook size for your chosen yarn, typically in the range of 3.5mm – 5.5mm.
Scissors: For cutting yarn and finishing off your work.
Tapestry Needle: Essential for weaving in loose ends and sewing the ornament together.

Measurements

Gauge
13 single crochets (sc) and 14 rows = 4 inches (10 cm).

Instructions

Coil (Make 1 each in A and B)

Begin by chaining 40.
In the 4th chain from the hook, make 2 double crochets (dc).
Continue to make 3 double crochets in each chain until you reach the end of the chain.
Fasten off.

Assembling the Candy Cane

Take the coils made in colors A and B.
Twist them around each other to form the candy cane shape.
Slightly bend the top of the candy cane, approximately 2½ inches (6 cm) from the top.
Use color A to tack them together loosely to maintain the curved shape.
With color A, create a hanging loop.
