Meet Curtis the Cactus, the slickest succulent in town with a twinkle in his eye and a whole lot of charm! This quirky crochet character is dressed to impress, rocking a jaunty sun visor, a dapper black moustache, and just enough chest hair to make a statement. Tucked into his classic terracotta pot and carrying a trusty messenger bag, Curtis is always on the go—spreading good vibes and maybe a few tall tales along the way.

A quick and entertaining make; perfect for adding a bit of desert-inspired fun to your décor or gifting to someone who loves a cactus. Hook up your own Curtis and let the adventures begin!
