Column Cacti

This is a great stash-busting project! The measurements given are for the needles and yarn I used but you can use whatever type you have at hand - you can even change the number of cast-on stiches if you want to make them taller. However, since the cacti aren’t permanently attached in the pot, they can be adjusted easily to your preference without changing the cast-on numbers. I used a fuzzy white yarn for this sample but you can use a regular white and they still look super cute.

I put them in a clay pot but you can use whatever you have on hand. Especially great for people who love plants but can’t seem to keep them alive!
