Three Tiny Crochet Cactus Patterns (All Free)
Appliques and Decors
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.
Amigurumi Cacti Free Crochet Patterns
Appliques and Decors
This link will take you to the first three crochet cactus patterns in this roundup. It's a great place for you to start because the three cacti are each very different but there are many similarities in their construction. Therefore, you'll get the chance to really practice what it is like to build out different styles of cacti.
These are really classic crochet designs. There is a saguaro-style cactus, one that looks like a prickly pear, and another shaped like a barrel cactus. If you're from Southwestern Arizona or a similar desert area then you'll definitely recognize each of these three plants.
The designs are simple but very effective. They are worked amigurumi-style using single crochet stitches. The written instructions are accompanied by symbol charts. Each cactus is worked in green cotton yarn, planted in brown cotton "soil," and then placed in a small pot.
