Beginner's Knit a Cactus

Knit a cactus, with our instant download knitting pattern PDF.

Excellent pattern for those new to knitting, you’ll start with casting on, and doing a little bit of knitting, then you’ll do a little bit of shaping, and a little bit of casting off! Fabulous! And you’ll have a “can’t kill” cactus, to sit on your windowsill.

To knit your cactus, you’ll need 1 x 50g Ball of Aran weight yarn in green, and a small amount in mustard. We used DROPS Alaska, but you can use any comparable yarn, i.e. Cascade 220 or Berroco Vintage. You will also need a pair of 4.5mm knitting needles, some toy filling, and a little plant pot (10cm).
