• Take the pot, place it together with the piece you are working on now, and start crocheting together, closing the pot.
• Here you will grab the back loop of the slip stitch from the previous round and the front loop of the back post single crochet from the pot, and work a sl.
• Work about 24sl and stop for adding stuffing material before closing completely.
18 rnd 30sl crocheting together the pot and cactus.

- With the same black thread, embroider a little mouth with 2 stitches length in round 9 between the eyes.
