Mini round cactus with flower in a pot
Learn how to crochet a very cute mini cactus keychain in a pot with this
easy and fast free crochet pattern for beginners. A cotton yarn or other
firm yarn will make the cactus look at it’s the best.
If you use thicker yarn, the cactus will become bigger. You could also use
two strands of yarn to make it bigger. If you want the cactus to stand up,
then please use some heavy stuffing in the bottom of the pot. Size cactus:
6 cm / 2 inch
This cactus takes about a hour to crochet.

Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.
Now close the top of the cactus using your yarn needle, weave the
yarn tail through the top loops of every other row. Sew through
loops 1, 3, 5 etc. (photo 2). Those are the row between the rows
that make the bumps on the cactus. Pull it tight to close.
Weave the yarn through the cactus to the other opening, make a
little knot to attach the yarn on the other side of the cactus.
Put stuffing in the cactus.
Now close the bottom of the cactus using your yarn needle, the
same way you closed the top of the cactus.*
