Sedona Cactus Mug Rug Free Crochet Pattern

Happy National Cactus Day! Did you know that’s what today was? I just learned about that yesterday and I thought it was so perfect that it fell on May 10th because it’s also the first release of May I decided (weeks ago, so it’s just a fun coincidence) to bring to you the Sedona Cactus Mug Rug.

It is no secret that I love a good cactus design. In the last few years I’ve made quite a few of them and the fill me with delight every time. I can’t quite explain why but I do just love a good cactus. And long time followers will ask, “Amber are these like the Sedona Cactus Earrings from last month” and to that I say, “good eye.” While I was designing the Sedona Cactus Earrings I loved the design and thought they’d made really awesome coasters too. So I designed coasters to go with them. But if I’m being completely honest, you could make that pattern with worsted weight yarn and have a lovely coaster too… so I guess this week’s pattern is just to give you some variety in your cactus decor. Man, I need to make a basket with cacti don’t I?

And now that California is shifting away from Spring (I’m sad, I just do not do well in hot temps) I think having some cactus themed makes works perfectly. Not to mention, these little cuties will come in handy as you drink a plethora of cooling drinks throughout the season.
I really hope you like this design <3

Like I say often on Instagram, when it comes to how you work color it doesn’t matter what you call it, you do what feels good to you. I don’t ever follow just one technique to change and carry colors, sometimes I carry them for a couple sts and then drop the color altogether and work the rest of the way across the project. As long as you steam block (which I always do for color work) then it’s going to be a-OK. Don’t just take my word for it, give it a try yourself.
And keeping with industry standards, if you’d like written instructions to this pattern you can pick those up in my Ravelry shop. I know talking about money is often icky but I split up these patterns this way so that people do have an incentive to pick up the pdf, it helps me to keep making patterns here on my blog. I hope you understand and don’t send me rude comments (again). K?

Anyway, I hope you like this pattern and give it a try. It’s definitely more involved than last week’s heart wall hanging but it is a good step up, a good challenge if you’re into it.

Please wear and wash your masks and be kind to each other.

Please note: I was provided the Brava Worsted for this pattern by We Crochet for the purposes of designing the Sedona Cactus Mug Rug crochet pattern, without compensation. I wasn’t provided the yarn with the expectations of positive or negative reviews but I always enjoy using this yarn, I’ve used it many times and it’s durable and colorful worsted weight yarn. If you purchase yarn through any of the links in this post, I will be compensated.
