Crochet Candy Cane Newborn Set

Baby items have always been one of my favorite things to crochet. If it’s not a complex design, you usually can whip them up in no time at all, and that’s exactly how long it took me to whip this newborn Candy Cane set. 

If you’re an avid crocheter, surely you’ve seen the candy cane border design? Quite gorgeous wouldn’t you say? especially in red and white colours.

I first saw the candy cane design months ago when Sarah from repeatcrafterme used it to make a border for a blanket. So when I decided to make this baby set, It just occurred to me to use the border to finish off. It turned out quite well, thus the name for the set.

Another baby set I made a while back is the Mimosa Baby Set,  which comes in two sizes.
