In this class you will learn how to crochet 5 different amigurumi candy canes using the barber pole technique that requires no sewing and leaves no seams or joins!
By the end of this class you will be able to create stripes as thick or thin as you want and use as many colors as you like to create your own candy canes or other amigurumi projects.
This class is more suitable for crocheters that are familiar with the basic stitches and techniques of crochet and amigurumi. But if you’re a beginner I always explain the techniques and stitches I’m using at least one time and all the techniques and stitches used for the candy canes are fully explained in the picture tutorials in the pattern that you can download in the Project & Resources tab.
