A fun twist to a new trend - the Cactus

A perfect gift for baby showers and new babies. Mommies will love it because it offers all the softness and comfort of a favorite blanket but small enough to be carried about.

In addition to a comforting familiar friend, HugKnits Cactus can double as a puppet–the cactus is hollow–a great distraction tool for a fussy or bored baby. Hint: Older children love them too.

These directions are for the HugKnit Cactus + a bonus tutorial for picking up the stitches for the cactus. The blanket portion is knit flat in garter stitch for great tactile stimulation, cactus is knit in the round. Uses worsted weight yarn (make sure its washable); 200 yds Yellow worsted weight, 90 yds Green worsted weight, 20 yds Pink worsted weight, 2 yds waste yarn. Easy peasie stuff for intermediate knitter. If you run into trouble, pattern support is always just an email away.
