I finished another beige bunny today and had some yarn left over. I did a little yarn
inventory and found I have a lot of scrap yarn in beige and brown colors. I guess brown
doesn't make as cute a flower headband as pink does. So I decided to turn that yarn into
crocheted acorns. I also wrote down the pattern so you could make your own.
Mine came out a lot bigger than real oak acorns. To get a realistic size, you should use
fingering weight yarn and a 1,75 - 2 mm crochet hook.
Skills required
Crocheting in round, single crochet stitch, chain stitch, magic ring, increasing, invisible
decreasing, finishing a closed piece, finishing an open piece (3), fastening and hiding yarn
tails.
Size
- 7,5 cm (3") with aran weight cotton blend and a 3,50 mm crochet hook (US size 4/E).
- 5 cm (2") with DK weight cotton and bamboo blend and a 2,50 mm crochet hook (US size
1/B).
Abbreviations
- mr, n = magic ring - crochet n single crochet stitches into the adjustable loop.
- sc = single crochet stitch
- sc n = make n single crochet stitches, one in each stitch
- inc = increase make two single crochet stitches in to the same stitch
- dec = decrease crochet two stitches together
- (sc 2, inc) x 6 = repeat the pattern between brackets six times
- (24) = number of stitches in a round after finishing said round
Notes
- Do not join at the end of each round, work in a continuous spiral.
- Use a stitch marker or a piece of yarn to mark the end or the beginning of a round. Move
the marker up after completing each round.
- All stitches are worked into both loops.
Acorn
Worked from bottom to top.
1: mr, 6 = (6)
2: inc x 6 = (12)
3: (sc 5, inc) x 2 = (14)
4: (sc 2, inc) x 4, sc 2 = (18)
5-10: sc in each stitch = (18)
11: (sc 1, dec) x 6 = (12)
Stuff the acorn firmly.
12: dec x 6 = (6)
Finish stuffing. Cut the yarn, leaving a
long yarn tail and use it to close the
opening.Fasten and hide the yarn tail.
Cap
1: mr, 6 = (6)
2: inc x 6 = (12)

4: (sc 3, inc) x 4, sc 2 = (22)
5: sc in each stitch = (22)
11: (sc 9, dec) x 2 = (20)
