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.
Three Tiny Crochet Cactus Patterns (All Free)
The next three crochet cactus patterns in this round up might look a little familiar. After all, these are the same three cacti that we saw above-an armless young saguaro, a prickly pear, and a barrel cactus. However, the crochet patterns are completely different.
These crochet patterns are tiny. These are particularly great if you want to:
- Quickly complete an instant gratification project or last minute gift
- Use up small bundles of yarn, especially if you have green in your stash
- Want to make a cactus keychain or magnet
Although they are small, these crochet cactus patterns pack a big punch. In addition to single crochet, you'll get the opportunity to use double crochet. Plus you'll get to use both sc and dc post stitches. Not to mention, the added flower on top of each little crochet cactus is the perfect pop of color.
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.
Randy the Reindeer Cactus
Randy the Cactus Snowman is the third installment of my Christmas Cactus patterns. Other installments include Stanley the Cactus Snowman and Saint Prickolaus. Randy is a barrel cactus that loves Christmas and always dreamed of leading Santa’s sleigh. He is quick to make and very adorable. This pattern is accesible for beginners that are familiar with amigurumi crochet. Randy is made of 5 different pieces that are made separately and sewn together. Make your own Randy the Cactus Reindeer or gift one to a friend.
Flowering Prickly Pear Cactus Free Crochet Pattern
If you've never lived in the desert, then you might not realize just how colorful it gets during the springtime. Many cacti have beautiful flowers in bright red, yellow, and white colors. The prickly pear has a flower that brings a fruit which can be used to make jam. It's both beautiful and tasty.
This free crochet cactus pattern represents that type of cactus. The prickly pear fruit is bright red; the flowers are yellow; and the thorns on the pad of the cactus are represented by cute white embroidery-style stitches. If you're looking for a colorful cactus to decorate your home, then this is the pattern you're seeking.
