![]() Chopstick, dowel, or something similar to help with stuffing small parts.As always, I’d love to see/hear about your experiences with making the design and the products you chose to use. If a cotton yarn is preferred, this too should work fine, as would changing the yarn size, just make sure that hook size adjustments are made to accommodate the chosen yarn. Any brand of worsted weight yarn should work well for making the Crochet Acorns but note that due to variations among brands the finished size of the Acorns may vary slightly. I am happy with how each of them turned out. I originally created the Crochet Acorns in Three Sizes using the more classical brown colors (Bone for the base and Taupe tweed for the top) but then decided it would be fun to try adding color to them which you will see in the green (Pistachio), orange (Pumpkin), and yellow (Sunshine) versions of the acorns. In my opinion, using fleck yarn is one of the easiest ways to add extra detail and a touch of texture to a design without any additional work such as bobbles or other specialty stitches. It’s the viscose that creates the flecks in the yarn that I love so much. Both of these yarns are acrylic, worsted (size 4) yarn with the tweed yarn having a touch of viscose in it. What about adding a keyring to the medium acorn and using it on your backpack or clustering a bunch of them together as a centerpiece arrangement? Really there are so many possibilities, and having three sizes to choose from makes for even more ideas!įor this design, I used Caron Simply Soft Solids for the acorn bottoms and Caron Simply Soft Tweeds for the tops. One, I just love acorns! Two, I want to have them when it comes time to decorate for fall, and three, when I designed the Crochet Squirrel I knew that it would make things even more fun if they could have acorns in their hands and all around them for pictures.Īs I said, they make a fun addition to other amigurumi pieces, but I’m also thinking that stringing them together with some wooden beads as a garland would make such a cute decor piece! Then perhaps it would be fun to add them to a wreath, and wouldn’t a couple of the smaller ones be so cute on the outside of a package as a gift for someone? I had several motivations for making the Crochet Acron in Three Sizes. Please see the disclosure page if you would like further details.
