Here is a tutorial for the Candy Cane Crochet Border in 3 colors — a fun and easy, simple border you can add to so many different projects!
I used this border for my Gnome for Christmas Blanket which is a free pattern at Nana’s Crafty Home — and you can find all the details with free pattern here.
Typically you will see this border in just two colors — red and white — candy cane colors. However, I wanted to add a third color in order to incorporate all 3 main colors of my blanket.
So, I adjusted the stitch slightly to accommodate that 3rd color and I really love how it turned out!
You can find the video tutorial to help you with this stitch at the bottom of this post. Be sure to subscribe to my YouTube Channel to get notified whenever I post a new video!
