This candy cane is magic,
you hang it on your tree,
And when I visit Christmas night
it’s waiting there for me.
I’ll come into your house and
your pretend cane I’ll steal,
But I’ll leave you something just as nice;
your candy becomes real!

              -Santa Claus

Make these knitted treasures to decorate your tree; then wait to see what happens Christmas night!

Pattern uses an i-cord with color changes. It is made on two double pointed size five needles. Gauge is unimportant in this project. Larger needles make “fatter” candy canes. Feel free to sell your finished objects at craft sales and holiday bazaars, particularly if they benefit a charity or school. The school where I teach kindergarten sells them for $2 at their holiday bazaar and they always sell out!
