These cacti are so fun and easy to make! I used a combination of cacti from this collection and the "Cactus Collection 2" to put together one of the large pots for a gift. The pattern for each cactus is very well laid out and easy to follow. I needed to learn a new stitch, a bobble, for the moon cactus (the one with the red top) and the instructions walked me right through it. I would call myself an advanced beginner, and I had no problems with the pattern - and the project turned out great!
