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.

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!
