Instructions:

The yarn I was using is size 2 catania yarn. You can use any size 2 yarn to achieve the same result. When making the candy cane, I alternate between red/green and white yarn. When the candy cane reach the desired length, put in the aluminum wire and poly-fil stuffing. Sew close the bottom and bend the candy cane into the shape you want. Finally, tie the ribbon on the candy cane and glue the flatback pearl button on the ribbon (optional).

Round 1: 8 sc on the outer loop only (8 sts)
