Product Details
Since I have visited Big Bend National Park I have marvelled at how much their appearances resemble knitted textures. Up close though, they are not that huggable, but quite spiny and sharp! The cacti in this pattern are tickly instead of prickly! Therefore I have called them CacTickles!
There are 3 striking succulents in this pattern: the rebutia, the saguaro and the parodia.
The 7 to 14 cm tall CacTickles were made in Drops Merino (47) sage green, (18) apple green and Drops Merino (31) forest green on 2 mm (US 0, UK 14) double pointed (sock) needles (thinner than recommended for a a denser fabric the filling won’t come peeping through). They were filled with toy stuffing.
The flowers were done in miniature in a lace gauge yarn on 1.25 mm needles, but they can be done heavier yarn on thicker needles and will turn out a bit larger. The CacTickles are knitted in the round in textured stitches.
