Notes

The Christmas Tree Candy Cane Holder is worked in rows, in one piece. You will begin at the base of one side of the tree, then work up to the top, and linked by a ch 4 begin the 2nd side of the tree working from the top down to the base. Then you will slip stitch the two sides together to form the Christmas Tree – leaving space for the candy cane to sit securely! Easy peasy!

This entire project (excluding the slip stitch seam) is worked in the back loop only.

Assembly

Now flatten the two “tree” shapes together and slip stitch through both layers (1 sl st per row end working under a single loop of each layer only) up the one side toward the top “Loop” created by the extra ch 4. Work in the top space created by the ch 4 and then continue working 1 sl st per row end all the way back to the base of the ‘tree”. Rotate your tree to work along the base of your tree and working through both layers work 1 sl st in each of the next 6 sts, then work 1 sl st in the front layer only for each of the next 3 sts (see photo), work 1 sl st through both layers in each of the next 6 sts, finish off with an invisible join and weave in all ends.

Next, let’s get that candy cane inserted into your tree. Slip the ‘stem’ of the candy cane between the sc3tog stitches at the back of the tree and down through the inside of your tree to the base where you left those 3 stitches open.

How to Put the Candy Cane In Christmas Tree Candy Cane Holder

Now you can embellish your Christmas Tree Candy Cane Holder however you wish – with buttons, beads, pom poms or simply like I did. I tied a bow at the top and put one of the word beads I picked up at Michael’s on as well (I love beads that have words and sayings).

Here’s how I did it:
