Of course, a heart for heart's sake is also wonderful. So, this Mother's Day heart is not anything in particular, other than just that, a heart with a wonderful, textured hem.

Everything has its place-big flowers dolook great on sunhats, of course, but sometimes you need something a little more moderate or delicate. These Teeny Tiny Flowers have that cute, miniature appeal without losing any personality. Built from basic crochet stitches, these crochet flower patterns will be quick and easy to work up. The yarn you use will determine just how tiny these simple flower designs will turn out, with DK wool producing the tiniest of tiny crochet flowers. These are great little projects to work on during some down time to keep your fingers busy, and they will be a wonderful way to bring nature-inspired designs into your life.

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.

So, this project is probably one of the fanciest hot pads that exist. Not only are the colors wild, but the shape is so complex and convoluted. However, at the same time this is an easy pattern to make, so even a beginner can take this on no problem.
