This is a candy cane pattern that was posted on e-tatters as an early Chistmas gift to the members of that group. The pattern is the work of Julie Patterson and obviously she does good work. Her pattern calls for Red and White thread, but our bookkeeper at work is a Tennessee FAN-atic so that is why I used the Big Orange and White (Merry Christmas KM). I also think that it would be great in veriagated red to white or green to white or a mix of both.
This piece is a total of 628 stitches and took about 1 hour to complete. The hour included finding the BIG Orange thread and winding 2 shuttles. There is some weaving involved in making this piece which also took a couple of minutes to discover. All in all, a fun project.
