This cactus works up quickly and is very simple to make. As the pattern is written, my cacti have been 6″ tall and about 3 1/2″ wide.

I can see this cute cactus adorning pillows, hats, hand towels, etc. I’d love to see how you use your cactus! Tag your photos @unwindfiberco so I can see them on Instagram and Twitter or upload photos to Ravelry!
