Handle with Care

I am currently fascinated with quick and easy knits.  This week I will be featuring a collection of keychains. Thankfully this Saguaro cactus does not have any thorns. 

I found a free pattern for this cactus on The Crafty Cattery blog (here).  To add a little stability to the project, I added pipe cleaners. The pipe cleaners stretch from the tip of an arm, though a stitch in the cactus body and then to either the top or bottom of the cactus body. This also meant I did not need the recommended stuffing.

If you are looking for a larger cactus to knit, check out my other project – here!

Happy Knitting.
