INTERMEDIATE PATTERN
Desk Cactus pony bead pattern
Desk Cactus mixes straight vertical runs (the trunk) with L-shaped arms that test your counting on connector rows.
The terracotta pot is a simple taper, the bloom sits dead center on top, and mint flecks in the green body keep the large flat area from going flat. A sunny sky background with a few sparkle beads finishes it.
