You can add another knot here if you want for security.<\/p>\n<p>Take your yarn and twist around the other side of the candy. Put your hook under the yarn that is stretched across the candy and yarn over the hook (like with a regular chain stitch) and pull through. Continue to chain (I did 15 between each candy), and repeat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Create this simple garland by crocheting the candy directly to a crochet chain.
