Ride off into the sunset with this cool cactus pillow tucked under your arm. Featuring a single cactus the negative space around it echos the sparse vastness of the desert. Ride Off has a simple, clean construction of one large piece that tapers to a point with a button hole. Since there is only one pieces of colourwork in the pattern and only two colours this is a fantastic project for beginners to colourwork, since they can really focus on that aspect of the project during those rows.

Yarn: Cascade Yarn’s Cherub Chunky (55” Nylon/25% Acrylic; 163.7 yards 125 meters/100 grams): 35 Taupe (MC, 4 balls), 36 Cactus (CC, 1 ball)
