Please note this is a digital product. You are buying the pattern to make a cactus. It is not a physical product. This is a simple pattern for Clara the Cactus. She is a simple make and requires DK yarn, I have used Sirdar Happy Chenille but she look great in acrylic or cotton too. Clara the Cactus stands 10cm (4”) tall and is 6.5cm (2.5”) at the widest part. Yarn substitutions: I have made many of these now, and have mostly been using Sirdar Happy Chenille but this might not be nice to work with if you have sensory issues. I have found and DK yarn works well, Clara looks particurly good in cotton yarn. You will need:Yarn A: Sirdar Happy Chenille in 0029 Fizzy (DK, 38m, 15g)Yarn B: Sirdar Happy Chenille in 0028 Teddy (DK, 38m, 15g)Yarn C: Sirdar Happy Chenille in 0032 Tutti Frutti (DK, 38m, 15g)Yarn D: Sirdar Happy Chenille in 0024 Party (DK, 38m, 15g)3.5mm HookDarning needleToy stuffing – approximately 20gSmall toy eyes x2 – I have used 5mm black safety eyes. (Optional) Hot Glue Gun (Optional) Tension: Not important for this item, although if you are a loose crocheter you may benefit from going down a hook size so finished item does not show the stuffing.
