Three cute little Christmas ornaments in one crochet pattern. Each ornament holds a mini candy cane that not only serves as a decoration but as a treat for young and old. The hat ornament holds a candy cane snugly inside from the fold-up bottom opening and is topped with a little knob. The stocking ornament holds a candy cane inside in the fold-down top opening. The ice skate ornament sports a candy cane for the blade, which is inserted through an opening made as you work by skipping several stitches. The ice skate also holds a candy cane through the top opening. Cute lace “ties” decorate the front.
