With just a few materials and some basic crochet techniques, you'll be able to create your very own cactus.

Materials Needed

Before we begin, let's gather the materials we'll need for this project. Here's a list of what you'll need:

• Crochet hook (4.5mm)
• Yarn (4mm thickness)
• Stuffing material
• Needle for sewing
• Scissors

Making the Cactus

3.1 Working with Raised Points in Relief

To create the cactus, we will be using raised points in relief. This technique involves working the stitches in a way that creates a raised texture on the surface of the cactus. The larger cactus will have a diameter of 10 centimeters, while the smaller cactus will be 7 centimeters in diameter.

3.2 Choosing the Right Thickness of Needle and Crochet

It's important to choose the right thickness of needle and crochet for this project. For the larger cactus, use a needle of 5 millimeters and a crochet of 4.5 millimeters. For the smaller cactus, a needle of 3.5 millimeters and a crochet of 3.5 millimeters will work best.

Making the Flowers

To add some decorative elements to the cactus, we will be making flowers. For each flower, you will need cotton thread of 4 millimeters thickness and a crochet hook of 3.5 millimeters. Start by creating a magic ring and then work double crochets inside the ring. Close the ring and join the round with a slip stitch. Repeat this process to create as many flowers as desired.

Assembling the Cactus

Once all the components are ready, it's time to assemble the cactus. Fold the cactus piece in half, leaving the right side inside. Use a crochet hook to join the cactus piece by making slip stitches between the stitches and chains. Continue making slip stitches until the round is complete. Cut the thread, close the last stitch, and turn the work.

Sewing the Cactus to the Base

To give the cactus a sturdy base, crochet a base using the instructions provided in the link. Once the base is ready, sew the larger cactus onto the base using a needle. Place the cactus in the center of the base and secure it by sewing through the stitches.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully created a crochet cactus. This project is a great way to practice your crochet skills and add a unique decoration to your home. Feel free to experiment with different yarn colors and sizes to create your own variations of this adorable cactus.
