- Twist the strands of red and white together to form the candy cane shape. You can use a thin piece of floral wire inside for better shaping, or simply stiffen with fabric stiffener if desired.
- Alternatively, for a simpler candy cane: With Red yarn, ch 10. FO. With White yarn, ch 10. FO. Twist the two chains together and bend into a ‘J’ shape.
- Or, for a crocheted spiral: With Red, Ch 25. With White, Ch 25. Hold both chains together and sc along both chains, alternating colors with each stitch to create a spiral. Form into a ‘J’.
- Let’s use the simplest: Ch 15 with Red. Ch 15 with White. Twist them together and shape.
- Corrected Candy Cane (Red & White)
- Using Red yarn, ch 17. FO.
- Using White yarn, ch 17. FO.
- Twist the red and white chains together to form stripes, then gently bend into a candy cane ‘J’ shape. Secure the ends with a bit of glue or by tying them.
Assembly
- Sew the head to the top of the body, making sure it’s centered.

- Sew the arms to the sides of the body, just below the neck.
- Sew the legs to the bottom of the body.
- Wrap the green scarf around the pig’s neck.

- Weave in all remaining ends.
