Candy Cane Inspired Crochet Ornaments

Hi friends,

Red and white are traditional Christmas colors that are so fun and festive. I was inspired by candy canes to create this cute crochet Christmas ornament. It’s super quick and easy to make.🎄

I stitched up my ornament using I Love This Yarn in Red and White using an H/5mm crochet hook. You’ll also need a clear plastic 4 inch disc ornament. I found my plastic ornaments at Hobby Lobby in a package of 8.

You can find the pattern below along with links to free PDFs – one with photos and one without – if you’d like to easily print it.
