Cacti Carl – Free Pattern

Posted on by drunkenauntwendy 2 Comments
Crocheted Cactus Pattern

I made a friend to go with Ms. Prickles. Remember her? She’s a super cute Cactus and she needed a friend.

These are the best plants for me as I really can’t kill them. My poor Cacti always get overwatered.

Remember, it isn’t tested. If there are problems or it is confusing, please let me know. Use #drunkenauntwendy if you post on Instagram.

Materials

I love this Yarn – black
I love this Yarn – Limelight
I love this Yarn – Sungold
2 12 mm safety eyes
Size E crochet hook
Small Terra Cotta Pots
Poly fiberfill
Large eye blunt needle

Abbreviations

Ch – Chain
SC – Single Crochet
INC – 2 Single Crochet in designated stitch
DEC – Single Crochet 2 stitches together
DC – Double Crochet
BLO – back loops only

Gauge is not important for this project unless you have purchased a kit. Using the right size hook is important to ensure you have enough yarn.

Notes: Almost the entire project is worked in the round. Use a stitch marker or a scrap piece of yarn to mark the beginning of each row. Then you don’t have to count every row. Do not join unless instructed to.

Parentheses indicate a repeat. Repeat the stitches in the parentheses for the number of times indicated.

The bracketed number [] is the number of stitches at the end of each row.

I spread my increases out so there isn’t a seam on the finished piece. If you do not like this method, you can do regular increases.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at drunkenauntwendy@gmail.com.

I will keep posting patterns as they are typed and try to keep to my current schedule of once or twice a week. Join the mailing list for exclusive content. There may be some patterns only available to members of my mailing list.

Without further ado, meet Amara the love slug. She’s a super cute slug with hearts in her eyes. She’s a part of my cuddle bugs collection even though she is not a bug. June the Lady Bug and Sargeant Spinner are also there. As always, the pattern hasn’t been tested. So if you have issues or anything is confusing, please feel free to drop me a comment or an email.

Bride of Frankenstein – Free Pattern

Drunken Aunt Wendy Bride of Frankenstein Crochet

Halloween is almost upon us. I’m done with the mini-monsters and I will be moving on to Mythical Creatures for an online contest. I’m still typing up the patterns on a regular basis. I’ll try to keep to my current schedule and post them regularly.

I’m also teaching myself how to make soap. It was a project with the kids that I am expanding on.

Ohio State Soap is a must in my area

Christmas Jello soap.

Super cute owl soap.

First soaps with the kids.

The goat’s milk soap doesn’t take the colors as well. I’m not sure whether I like the goat’s milk vs. the glycerin that is clearer so the colors are brighter. I am also adding scents, but very lightly as I don’t like strong scents.

Here’s your Bride of Frankenstein Pattern. Again it hasn’t been tested. Join the mailing list for exclusive content. Use #drunkenauntwendy if you make it so I can find it and give you crochet love.
