This cactus motif brings a bit of sunny desert charm into your knitting! It’s tall and bold to stand out on totes, pillow covers, or the front of a cotton sweater. Try using soft DK or cotton yarn in earthy greens for the cactus and a light neutral for the background to keep the focus on those lovely leaf shapes.
