PDF A4: materiales, cada vuelta con casilla, montaje y cara
Free crochet cactus keychain pattern: a Cactus Keychain amigurumi, about 8 cm tall in fingering yarn with a 2 mm hook. A little green cactus with one raised arm and a smiling face stands in a terracotta pot, with a pink flower on its head and a brown keyring loop on top.
You need about 45 m of yarn: 15 m green, 5 m terracotta, 5 m pink, 5 m dark brown, 5 m salmon, 5 m light pink and 5 m yellow. Plan on roughly 2 hours.
A cactus that never needs watering: hang it on your keys or a bag, or use it as a plant lover's gift. You can spin the 3D model and follow the round-by-round pattern.

Cómo se teje
Vueltas continuas en espiral. No cierres las vueltas. Sube el marcador en cada vuelta.
Size before assembly: about 3.3 cm at the widest, 3.2 cm long; 16 rounds.

→ Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
Top up the stuffing if needed. Fasten off leaving a 15 cm tail; with the needle weave it through the front loops of all 6 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside.
Size before assembly: about 3.1 cm at the widest, 3.9 cm long; 16 rounds.
Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing.
Insert the safety nose/eyes now, while the piece is open (positions: see “Face”).
Stuff firmly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.
Size before assembly: about 1 cm at the widest, 2 cm long; 8 rounds.
Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing.
Stuff lightly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.
Bend ≈ 85° around round 5<!-- the bend spreads over 4 rounds -->. After stuffing, bend the piece so the inner side of the bend faces up on the finished toy (on the piece: in round 5, 2.5 st from the centre front line, upward <!-- st 2.52 up -->). On the inner side draw rounds 4 and 7 together (3 rounds go into the fold): with the needle and matching yarn make 3–4 stitches through the loops of both rounds over about 2 st, pull to the angle and hide the end inside.
A flat circle about 1 cm across; 2 rounds.
Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing.
Do not stuff.
Flat motif — lobed (lobes round a magic ring, worked in rounds, one layer of fabric), about 2.6 × 2.6 cm; 3 rows.
Fasten off leaving a long tail (~30 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff. Weave in the starting tail, pin the motif out to shape on a soft surface and steam it lightly.
A flat circle about 1.2 cm across; 2 rounds.
Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing.
Do not stuff.
Size before assembly: about 1.5 cm at the widest (lies flat); 2 rounds.
Each piece is two circles (front and back): make 2 circles — 1 as below and 1 plain in dark brown (same rounds, no colour changes).
Fasten off. Hold a front and a plain circle wrong sides together and sc around through both layers: 16 sc. Do not stuff. Leave a long tail (~30 cm) for sewing.
Safety eyes and noses go in before the piece is stuffed and closed (see the pieces above); embroidery is easier before the piece is sewn on.
Safety eyes with a printed glint 6–7 mm (on the cactus): between rounds 10 and 11, 4 st apart (count along round 10: about 2.2 st each side of the centre front line).
