In this step-by-step tutorial, I’m showing you exactly how I make my Crochet Cactus Plushie from start to finish — a quick, chunky chenille make that’s perfect if you’re stocking up for markets or just fancy a fun little project. I walk you through the full build in the same order I crochet it: the pot, adding the safety eyes, the soil/dirt section, and then the cactus body itself, all worked in rounds with really beginner-friendly shaping. If you’re comfortable with the basics (single crochet, increases/decreases, and keeping track of rounds), you’ll be absolutely fine. I also include an optional flower at the end if you want to dress your cactus up a bit, and I share the materials I use to get that super plush, squishy finish — chenille chunky yarn, a 4mm hook, 9mm safety eyes, and plenty of stuffing. Along the way, I point out where stitch markers help most, and how to place the eyes so the face looks cute and balanced. If you get stuck anywhere, you can hop to the timestamps and follow along section by section.
