Free Crochet Pattern: Cactus Flower Baby Blanket

This pattern marks the genesis of my cactus designs, dating back to 2018! Over the years, I’ve delighted numerous little ones and desert-loving moms with these blankets. It shares similarities with other giant cactus blankets published in recent years, though it boasts its unique flair, making it stand out. That’s precisely why I’m excited to offer it for free!

Bring the desert charm right into your nursery!

This cute corner-to-corner (C2C) crochet pattern features a delightful giant cactus design adorned with vibrant flowers, perfect for adding a touch of whimsy to your little one’s space.

The pixel graph is 44 blocks wide x 50 blocks tall and is worked from the bottom/right to the top/left of the chart.

Using a 5.00mm/US size H-8 hook and Worsted Weight (#4) yarn, the finished blanket is approximate 30” x 34” before adding a border.

The blanket uses 4 Colors of Knit Picks Mighty Stitch in the following amounts:

MC (Oyster): 605 yds (291 gms)
CAC (Macaw): 385 yds (185 gms)
FP (White): 6 yds (3 gms) OR small amount of scrap yarn
FC (Sunflower): 2 yds (2 gms) OR small amount of scrap yarn
Border (5 rounds of sc): 136 yds (65 gms)

You can also always leave off the flowers completely :)

Yarn usage is approximate and will vary depending on the yarn you choose and your personal gauge.

This is an EASY level pattern but knowledge of C2C/Diagonal Box Stitch is required. If you are unfamiliar with C2C or need a brush up, links to some of my favorite tutorials are included in the pattern.
