A cactus dressed up as an Easter bunny. But you can leave out the Easter parts.

Maybe it would be nice to surprise someone with a homemade gift on February 14. And this gift does not sting, does not require water and you will enjoy it for years to come

This cactus consists of 10 parts. Every part,you start in the middle with the brown edge and then you crochet the green part. Finally, the parts are attached to each other.

There are 3 cacti of different sizes. Each cactus consists of 3 segments, sewn together. The spines are embroidered.

This cactus is worked in back and forth rows, always in the back loop to create a zigzag effect.

Just a little try-out with the spike stitch. It’s a small and easy cactus to crochet.

Basically twice the same cactus, the bubble stitch on one cactus with thick cotton, on the other cactus with furty yarn. The flowers are made of embroidery silk.

This cactus is crocheted from green jute, crochet cotton and embroidery yarn. You crochet a diamond of which you attach the top and bottom together. Because you crochet in the back loops, a spiral shape is created on the outside. You highlighte these using the thin crochet cotton

This cactus is worked in one piece in single crochet, with an occasional round only in the back loop. The hardest part is working through 4 layers when constructing the shape, but this can be avoided by sewing the pieces together.

I found a picture of this cactus on Pinterest. Wonderful. If I ever come across one at a garden center I will definitely buy it. There was only a Japanese caption. Google Translate reported that it said “frizzy cactus”. This cactus is formed by a small ball and you only work in the back loop. the spines are made of furniture thread

Once I saw a very spiky, fairly flat cactus in a shop window in Germany with a sign saying ‘Schwiegermuttersessel’ (mother-in-law’s chair). I thought it was a joke but that’s really what it’s called. Since I had a nice mother-in-law, I made mine without thorns. For those who are less fortunate in terms of mother-in-law: You can also make a pinc...

The flowers are the most difficult part of this model. They are created with embroidery floss.

This cactus is crocheted with a double thread. If you find that annoying, you can also use a thick hairy type of wool. The result will then be somewhat less mixed.

Sometimes it is nice to actually give a crocheted cactus spines. With this small cactus, these are glass beads.

You don’t actually need to make needles with a crocheted cactus. The white dots suggest where they are.

Would you like to crochet a cactus but don’t think you can crochet very well yet?
