The Cactus pattern is a small graphghan that punches above its weight visually. The vertical orientation (25 wide × 35 tall) makes it suit a wall hanging or a tall cushion, and the three-colour palette (sky, cactus green, sand) is easy on the eye and easy on the colour changes.
Cactus motifs are very on-trend in home decor — pair with terracotta and cream throws for a southwest desert look, or swap the sky blue for forest green if you'd prefer a houseplant feel.
For a less stylised version, open it in Bobble and adjust the cactus arms or add a small flower on top.
