Saguaro Cactus Blanket Square – Free Crochet Pattern
I recently went to Arizona for the first time and was amazed when I found out that saguaro cactus can live 150-200 years! Somehow that morphed into making one for the cactus blanket square. :)
It’s an easy c2c square that doesn’t have too many color changes. You can even leave off the flower at the top if you don’t want to add that.
