I love making quick and easy crochet appliques.
This cute cactus is one of my favourites!
I used Cotlin, because it's the best....litreally.
It's so soft and your project keeps shape. It's available in 44 colours!!!!
Check out all the colourways HERE.
Notes before you begin
- Use cotton, it's best for small projects that have shape
- Size down your hook for tighter stitches
- Video tutorial included below to help!
- This is worked in ONE fluid row, crocheting around and never turning your work!
