I found the Christmas cactus to be a challenge for my skill set. This is not due to the instructions as they were wonderful like all of June’s patterns. It was a little tricky seeing the stitches when the leaves decreased in size and I’m not sure if a did a single bloom correctly but they all turned out acceptable. That being said it looked great when I finished the project. I really like the style of this pot. I can’t wait to give it as a Mother’s Day gift as this is my mom’s favorite of the plant patterns.
