I had a request a day or two ago to make a tiny embroidery hoop with a candy cane in it.  Since my stitching area in these is about 3/4 inch, whatever I stitch has to be pretty simple.

This candy cane is done with a whipped back stitch, which I think fits the bill perfectly.  I love how this stitch ends up looking a bit like a raised cord on the surface of the fabric.  (If you click that link you will find some instructions on how to do it.)  I think a row of tiny stitched candy canes would be really charming along the edge of some holiday napkins or something like that.
