Cactus Washcloth

This is my rendering of the saguaro cactus outside my kitchen table window. I must admit that I did not use all 6 arms of the cactus, instead opting to use only 3 arms. Using only knit and purl stitches I managed to make the pattern reversible. Instead of using a sketch, I knit this by enjoying my view of the cactus. The area that looks like a counting mistake is actually a bird’s burrow in the cactus arm. The first 7 rows are easy and then I would pay very close attention to the pattern.
