A crocheted cactus never needs watering, never dies, and is always in peak condition. With this collection, you can make 4 different realistic cacti in individual pots, or a beautiful cactus garden arranged in one large crocheted pot. It's the perfect thing to brighten up your window, or to give as an unusual and thoughtful gift.

Cactus Collection 2 is an original crochet pattern by June Gilbank, including patterns for 4 different cacti: Micranthocereus, Cephalocereus, Ferocactus (Barrel Cactus), and Opuntia (Paddle Cactus).

It also includes full patterns and assembly instructions for both the individual-sized pot pattern and the larger cactus garden pot pattern:

• An individual cactus makes a quick and sweet gift - or you can anthropomorphize it with some eyes and a smiley mouth to make a super-cute version!
• Two or three (or more) individual cactus pots look great arranged in  a line along your windowsill.
• The larger cactus garden makes a beautiful decoration - and you'll never have that problem where one of the collection dies and you're left with a big empty space in the pot!

Details: pattern is 13 pages long and includes over 30 step-by-step photographs and explanations so you can crochet perfect cacti of your own.

Yarn: worsted weight yarn in at least one shade of green (cacti), any floral colour (flowers), brown (soil), and any colour you like for the pot. 

Hook: US E / 3.5mm

Size: 
Individual cacti are approx 3" wide by 4.5-6.5" tall (including pot)
