 Remark♥

This project is working in continuous rounds, do not join or turn unless

otherwise stated.
Use a stitch marker or a piece of yarn to mark the end or the beginning
of each round. Move the marker up every round.
All stitches are worked into both loops, unless stated otherwise in the
pattern.
If you need to change the color, do it always at the end of the previous
round. Start the last stitch of the round with the old color. Change the
color right before you draw through all loops on
hook to complete stitch.

Materials

This pattern can be made using any yarn you wish. Choose a hook size
that matches the yarn. If you want to increase or decrease the size of
bebe cactus, use the correct yarn type for your hook.
It is important to make tight stitches. For a nice and satisfactory result
make sure you use a smaller hook than usually recommended for your
yarn. This way you will get a fabric tight enough to avoid small stretching
gaps between your stitches once stuffed, and so the filling doesn’t pop
out later.
For stuffing, they are many sorts of stuffing materials and the choice is
yours. For best results I recommend stuffing your project firmly, don’t
hesitate to overstuff as long as the yarn you are using allows it.

You can use:

▪ Bernat Super Value dark heather.
 ▪ Red Heart Super Saver spring green
▪ Bernat Satin white
▪ Caron Simply Soft watermelon and sunshine (for this particular
yarn I use 3 mm hook)
▪ Size 3 mm and 3.50 mm hooks
▪ Stuffing
▪ Tapestry needle
▪ Stitch marker
▪ 10 mm black safety eyes
▪ Pink cotton thread for the cheeks

The height of bebe cactus is 24 cm (9’5 inches) in the sitting position to

the top of the cactus and the arms' length is 20 cm (8 inches)

Basic technique

Magic Ring : starting a piece with adjustable loop.

A magic ring is a way to begin crocheting in the round by crocheting over
and adjustable loop and then pulling the loop tight. The advantage of the
magic ring method is that there is no hole left in the middle of your
starting round.

Special Stiches:
Popcorn stitch (for the finger):
1. Work 3 dc stitches in the same stitch.
2. Drop the loop from your hook.
3. Insert your hook from front to back under the top 2 loops of the first
double crochet of the group.
4. Grab the dropped loop with your hook and pull it through the stitch.

Puff stitch (for the nose):

Make 3 hdc, keeping the last loop of each stitch on the hook. Then slip
stitch into the 4 loops on the hook.

Note
Sew the hands and the legs to the bebe’s body (see photo below for the
position of the hands and legs), in this case the bebe cactus is looking
right, if you wish to have your bebe cactus looking left, just sew the
hands in the opposite direction. Do the same with the legs.
Congratulations you have finished your bebe cactus!!
