• The crochet cactus coaster pattern is made in curved rows, not rounds.
• Using the green, ch x11 and then turn (11).
• Row 1: In the 3rd chain from the hook make a dc. Dc another 7 more times in the following 7 chains. There should be 1 chain at the top of the chain that has not been worked in yet. For that chain, dc x6 into that one chain space. This will help you round the top so you can work on the other side of the chain.
• Then on the other side of the chain, dc 8 times,1 in each chain. (22)
• Then ch x2 and flip your work.
• Row 2: Dc x8, then in the next 6 stitches make a dc inc (where you make 2 dc in 1 stitch). Then dc x8 along the straight edge. (28)
• Then ch x2 and flip your work.
• Row 3: Dc x8, then (dc inc, dc) x6. After doing the curved part of the cactus, you want to dc x8 down the straight side again. (34)
• Then ch x1 and turn your work.
• Row 4: This last round is done mostly in sc and it is to make your edgework look clean as well as make the little cactus arms.
• Sc x3, then in the following stitch [dc, tr x3, and dc] in the same stitch. Then in the following stitch make a sc. DO NOT SKIP ANY STITCHES. Sc x4, then (sc inc, sc x2) x6 times.
• Now we are going to make the second cactus arm. In the next stitch [dc, tr x3, dc] in the same stitch as before. Then sc in the next stitch and make 6 more sc along the side of the cactus. Make 2 sc in the bottom corners of the cactus to turn it to the raw edge of the cactus bottom.
• Here you want to make 2 single crochet stitches for each double crochet or 2 chains that are along the edge (12). Then make sure the corner has 2 single crochet stitches like the previous one, sl st to the first sc stitch in the round and fasten off. Weave in any ends.

Crochet Cactus Flower

• The crochet cactus flower pattern is made in 2 rounds.
• Round 1: Using the pink yarn, make a magic ring and then sc x 6 inside of it. Then sl st to the first sc in the round and pull the circle tight by pulling on the yarn. (6)
• Round 2: Ch x3 and then sl st into the next stitch. Repeat this step 5 more times. After 6 petals completed, fasten off the yarn leaving a tail for sewing.

Finishing:

• Sew the pink flower to the top right of the cactus coaster with your pink yarn.
• Next, embroider little white V’s over the front of the cactus to give it some little prickles.
• Finally, weave in any ends if you haven't done so already.
• And now you have a crochet cactus coaster! I hope you enjoyed my cactus crochet pattern!
