- To thread a yarn needle, cut a piece of yarn that is about two feet long. To hold the fold in place, fold the bottom of a LARGE leaf in half and thread a needle through it. Slide the leaf down the string, then add the next LARGE leaf and repeat the process. Continue by using each of the five LARGE leaves.
- Each of the five MEDIUM leaves should be continued.
- Each of the three SMALL leaves should be continued. To join the first of the small leaves to the last leaf, thread a yarn needle through a few of the stitches on the smaller leaf.
- Succulent should be turned over, commencing tail should be run at the base of each of the five huge leaves, pulled tight, knotted, and fastened off.
- Turn over one more, arrange the leaves as you like, then use the finishing tail to run through the leaves several times, from top to bottom and back (to help keep everything in place). Finish at the base, make a couple of knots, and fasten.
How do you crochet beads on a string?
You start by knitting six chains, then five double stitches in one stitch, before pulling out your hook and leaving a large loop. Then you tighten the hook and drag it through the first double crochet after putting it through the loop and the first double crochet.
How is a cactus plant knitted?
3. At this point, you’ll start decreasing.
Knit two stitches together to the end of the row on the 19th row, leaving 12 stitches.
When you knit two stitches together to the end of the 20th row, you will have 6 stitches remaining.
Knit two stitches together to the end of the row on the twenty-first row, leaving three stitches.
4. Trim the yarn, leaving a 30-cm tail, and pass it through the last few stitches on your needle.
5. To create an empty round cactus, bring the two ends together and sew them. To bring the top of the cactus together, take out the knitting needle and tug on the yarn tail.
How are pearls strung together?
1. Take cuttings from your String of Pearls plant, slightly below a leaf node. I usually wait for 1 to 3 days for thin stemmed cuttings like these to recover before planting. Due to the heat in Tucson, I just gave the cuttings a day to recover. But if you have to, you can plant them immediately away.
2. Add the succulent and cactus mix to your growth container. 3. Poke holes in the ground using the chopstick. Every cutting requires a hole. I frequently make one large hole and insert two cuttings.
4. Before putting the plant in the ground, remove the top leaves (the pearls). Make sure to plant with at least three or four leaf nodes buried in the soil.
5. Use your flower pins to secure the cuttings. Don’t forget to save the pins when it’s time to transplant the cuttings into a fresh container. They are useful and reusable.
6. Give your new plantings a few days to settle in. After that, thoroughly hydrate them.
The pearls have been removed from the stems as seen above. And those stems, boy, are they tiny!
