Crochet Cactus Potholders

Cacti are happy, bright, summery, and fun - so Crochet Cactus Potholders are perfect for your kitchen! These thick squishy crocheted hot pads make great trivets too! The key to the Crochet Cactus Potholders is to use 100% cotton yarn - Red Heart Scrubby Smoothie! With cotton yarn, you can use these Cacti with hot dishes without worrying about melting your project on your next hot dish. The Crochet Cactus Potholders are a set - there's a tall cactus and a ball cactus, both kitchen ready. But they aren’t limited to being just potholders! The tall cactus also would make a great oven mitt if you sew two of them together. And the Ball Cactus would be super cute under a real flower pot! However you use them, they are sure to brighten up your table.

Sally the Crochet Cactus Pattern

Maybe you don't just want a cactus that truly looks like a regular houseplant. Perhaps instead you want to crochet something with more character. Enter Sally the Cactus. Sally is a really simple crochet cactus pattern that comes alive thanks to the addition of cute eyes and blushing cheeks.

Of course, you could actually use the same pattern to crochet a very simple cactus without the face on it as well. The design includes a crochet pot (as opposed to "planting" your cactus in a store-bought pot). It is worked in single crochet and half double crochet stitches with some use of the back loop only technique.

Stanley The Cactus Snowman

Stanley the Cactus Snowman was just a barrel cactus with aspirations to be a snowman. He had the shape, he had the dream but he knew that he couldn't withstand the snow. But that didn’t stop him from making his dream come true. Stanley the Snowman Cactus loves everything about Christmas. It doesn't matter what time of year it is, this little guy is full of Christmas spirit. Perfect for the mantle or giving as a gift, Stanley the Snowman Cactus is a great holiday decor toy that will be treasured for years to come.
