Crochet your own terrarium (Including 7 Different Succulents)

Use the following patterns to make:

  1. Cactus Flower
  2. Burro’s Tail
  3. Ghost Plant
  4. String of Pearls
  5. Hyperbolic Cactus
  6. Spoon Jade
  7. Turkish Rosularia

A pattern for creating the “soil” base is included for an added dose of realism. Each plant is crocheted using DMC’s Natura Just Cotton thread, which is 100% combed cotton, giving even the cactus plants a soft touch. Designed for crocheters at a medium or advanced level, each individual plant will take approximately two and a half hours to complete. The final assembly will also take about two hours. (But the sense of pride you’ll feel once you’re done? That will happen immediately.)
