My Reindeer Candy Cane Holder was such a hit, I thought I would do a whole line of Candy Cane Holders. So, next up are my Elf Candy Cane Holders! This pattern includes directions for both the girl and boy elf. They each hold two candy canes, that slip in through the arm hole.

PLEASE NOTE: The boots are small enough to be a possible choking hazard to small children. Please omit the boots if small children are around your elves.
