Before you start your candy cane border or any border for that matter, crochet a row of single crochet stitches around your border.
You will need an even number of stitches for this border pattern, but I will show you in the video tutorial how to fix the color on color issues if you happen to have an uneven number of stitches instead.
Step 1: join the red yarn to your project with a slip stitch in any stitch on the border, ch4, take the loop of the hook
Step 2: join the white yarn to your project with a slip stitch in the following stitch, ch4, take the loop of the hook
Step 3: pick up the red loop and push the white chains to the back of your work, sc in the following stitch, ch4, take the loop off the hook
Step 4: pick up the white loop and push the red chains to the back of your work, sc in the following stitch, ch4, take the loop off the hook
Repeat Steps 3 & 4 all around the blanket.
Once you reached the end, sl st the final red loop into the first red chain you made, and the final white loop into the first white chain you made, fasten off and weave in the ends.
