Squishy Succulents Kit

Build a beautiful mix of succulents with a range of colors and textures cozily squished together in a shallow dish. This project is a great way to use yarn scraps with as little as 10-20 yards. It’s a nice skill builder with techniques including increasing, decreasing, and pleats. Succulents come in a variety of colors, so don’t feel stuck to green, and color ideas are given for each variety. Best of all, even with fuzzy “spines”, these cuties are safe to touch!

This is an advanced beginner knitting project. You should already know how to cast on, knit, purl, and bind off. Other skills used in this pattern are increasing, decreasing, and slip stitch. Watch my video for tips on assembling and finishing the project. 

Finished Dimensions: Barrel Cactus: 2(3.5)"  tall, Triangular Cactus: 2.5-3.5" tall, Hens and Chicks: 1.25(1.75)" tall, String of Pearls: 2.5-5" long

Kit includes various yarns, recycled polyester stuffing, 3.25" square recycled rice hull dish, and the Squishy Succulents pattern in both printed format and PDF download code. All items are packaged in a compostable bag. Yarns will vary but will include three greens, a grey or aqua, and a purple or burgundy, plus a small amount for flowers and some fuzzy yarn for spines. Yarns are predominantly wool but may include other fibers including mohair and nylon.

These items are not included, but will be needed to complete the project: US 6 (4mm) knitting needles, yarn needle, glue.
