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.

Three Flowers Free Crochet Pattern
"These Three Flowers all look the same, but they are all made with different stitch work in the center. One uses the Bobble stitch, one uses the Puff stitch, and one uses the Popcorn stitch. They are a great way to practice these different stitch types, that all look similar and often confuse beginners. These flowers are great to use for wall hangings, or as embellishments to other crochet projects, such as bags, afghans, or even hats."
