Plants make people happy and I’m willing to bet so do sweaters that feature plants! My obsession with house plants inspired this new cropped sweater pattern. The Cacti Crop is a top down tee worked in the round which features a sampling of cute little cacti color work motifs! Knit up in Tuku Wool’s fingering weight Finnish yarn it is knit up in earthy, rustic tones. This cute crop is perfect for layering over dresses and jumpsuits and for wearing in the warmer months.
