1st ever crochet project - I like a challenge! Decided to make this for Halloween back in Sept but it took me so long I've just finished it this evening. Ah well, still brings me great joy!

Whimsical Stitches: A Modern... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1944515631?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share.

I used a variety of patterns from the linked book to make the shape (an aubergine, pot bottom and part of a cactus!) and had to figure out how to do it as I went.

The pattern is from this book, page 28.

Edit: If link doesn’t work, the book is called “Whimsical Stitches: A Modern Makers Book of Amigurumi Crochet Patterns” by Lauren Espy.

The pattern is called Saguaro Cactus from the book Whimsical Stitches by Lauren Espy. I used a 4.00mm Susan Bates Soft Ergonomic hook and Craft Smart yarn.

This pattern specifically is from the Whimsical stitches book https://www.amazon.com/Whimsical-Stitches-Amigurumi-Crochet-Patterns/dp/1944515631
