Cactus gnomes

Dear fellow crochet lover,
First of all, thank you so much for wanting to make this Cactus gnome and I hope that
you will enjoy recreating him as much as I loved designing him for you! I am more than
happy for you to gift or sell any items made from this pattern but would love if you
could provide a link to our Etsy shop “Pampinostore” and credit @Pampino_HM as
the designer.
Much love, time and effort have gone into designing this amigurumi pattern for you
and would appreciate if you do not share, reproduce or sell this pattern either in its
entirety or in parts. I always love seeing your finished creation, so please do use the
hashtag #pampinostore and #Pampino_HM on Instagram! Never hesitate to contact
me through my Etsy shop should you have any questions with regards to the pattern
and I will do all I can to help you as best as I can! Keep creating cuteness with stitches!
With love, Nazeli

Special Stitches
Crab Stitch: The crab stitch is created just like a single crochet, except you work the
stitch to the right of your hook instead of the stitch to the left. Essentially you are
working backwards on your row. You will start the row by chaining one and then insert
the hook into the stitch to the right, pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through both
loops on the hook. It may take several stitches before you can truly see what the stitch
looks like and how cool it is.
