  Step 1

  You can use the yarn and the needles you prefer. I have used the yarn called Éxito from Lanas Stop, which is suitable for needles size 4-5 (6-8), and double pointed needles size 4.5 (7).

  Step 2

  The first thing, of course, is to knit the cactus.

  Cast on 27 stitches, distributed into three needles, leaving a approximately 20 cm of thread. The pattern is: 1 knit, 2 purl. As many rounds as the length we want for the cactus. My cactus measures 5.3'' and I have knitted 34 rounds.

  Step 3

  Cast off and turn the inside out to knit the upper side, closing the space. Turn the inside out again and fill with polyester filling.

  Step 4

  On the other hand, I have painted the fowerpot. It is not necessary, but I think it looks nicer.

• 

  Step 5

  As base of the cactus I have drawn a circle in brown fabric that fits into the flowerpot and have filled it with the polyester filling.

• 

  Step 6

  Sew the cactus to the base, fill the flowerpot with paper and place the cactus.
