Step-by-Step Pattern
1. Acorn Body
- Round 1: Make a magic ring. Crochet 8 SC into the ring. Pull the ring tight to close. Sl St into the first stitch, and Ch 1 to start the next round. (8 stitches)
- Round 2: INC in every stitch around. (16 stitches)
- Round 3: (1 SC, INC) repeat 8 times. (24 stitches)
- Rounds 4–14: SC in every stitch. (24 stitches per round)
- At the end of Round 10, insert 4mm safety eyes between stitches, with a 5-stitch gap between them.
- Optional: Sew or create facial features before continuing.
- Lightly stuff with polyester filling at this stage.
2. Acorn Cap
- Round 15: Start alternating between light and dark brown yarn for the color transition (cap). Alternate every two SCs. Sl St at the end of the round with dark brown yarn.
- Round 16: Switch to the dark brown yarn entirely. Work in BLO from now on. (1 SC, INC) repeat 8 times. (40 stitches)
- Rounds 17–19: SC in the BLO. (40 stitches per round)
- Round 20: (2 SC, DEC) repeat 8 times. (32 stitches)
- Lightly stuff as you go.
Ribbed Texture:
