Free crochet candy cane pattern: a Candy Cane Ornament amigurumi, about 11 cm tall in fingering yarn with a 2 mm hook. A red-and-white striped candy cane with a curved hook, a tiny smile, pink cheeks, a green bow and a green loop on top. You need about 40 m of yarn: 15 m white, 15 m red, 5 m green and 5 m pink. Plan on roughly 1 hour. It works as a tree ornament, a gift topper or a little holiday decoration for a shelf. Spin the 3D model and follow the round-by-round pattern; the stripes are simple colour changes.

- → Insert the safety eyes now (positions: see “Face”) and fix the backs. Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
- Top up the stuffing if needed. Fasten off leaving a 15 cm tail; with the needle weave it through the front loops of all 6 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside. Bend ≈ 170° around round 12<!-- the bend spreads over 22 rounds -->. After stuffing, bend the piece so the inner side of the bend faces toward the toy's right on the finished toy (on the piece: in round 12, on the line on the toy's right side). It is a gradual bend: with the needle and matching yarn run a line of stitches along the inner side from round 5 to round 19, one stitch in every round along one column, then pull the yarn until the piece bends to the angle (the inner side gathers by about 14 rounds) and fasten off inside.
- A flat circle about 1.1 cm across; 2 rounds.
- Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.
- Flat motif — triangle (worked in turned rows, one layer of fabric), about 1.1 × 2.1 cm; 4 rows.
- Fasten off leaving a long tail (~30 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff. Weave in the starting tail, pin the motif out to shape on a soft surface and steam it lightly.

- Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.
