This is the fourth in a series of 24 linked patterns, published daily in December 2014, to decorate a knitted Gingerbread House. The pattern for the house itself is published separately.

These two candy canes stand on either side of the front porch and give a traditional feel to the front of the Gingerbread House. They are shaped with pipe cleaners and are a quick and easy knit. You will need small amounts of red and cream DK weight yarn.

All my ravelry patterns are free to download but, if you enjoy them, please consider making a donation to the Children’s Liver Disease Foundation, a charity which funds research and supports the families of children with a liver disease. You can do this easily by going to my fundraising page www.justgiving.com/frankiesknittedstuff

Happy Knitting!
