About this pattern
Prickles does not prick: he is a soft green cactus with two little arms and a pink flower on his head. The terracotta pot is crocheted too, so the whole plant sits together. Four parts and 50 rounds are all it takes. He is a cheerful gift for friends who forget to water their houseplants, and he never needs sunlight.
Make one for a little one, a friend or yourself. You may also sell the toys you crochet from this pattern.
