My hands have been busy busy busy crocheting scarves for my Etsy Shop and a baby blanket for a friend. One of my favorite scarves to make is the Flowering Cactus Scarf. The pattern is by HelloHappyCrafts. It's a fun and easy to follow pattern. And you can customize this scarf however you'd like. I like to stick to the terracotta colored flower pot for my cactus, and I like to add pink flowers with yellow stamen. So far, I've made two of cacti scarves, and I plan to make at least two or three more soon!
I was so glad that I stumbled upon a yarn colorway that's actually named
