Who can resist an acorn?
On a recent trip to the lake, we were hiking through the woods and came to a grove of giant oak trees. I couldn't resist scooping up a handful of acorns to bring home.
Shortly after that trip, I came across a pattern for a knitted acorn that I had printed up last year. I immediately had to find some yarn and knit one up that night.
Isn't it cute?
I didn't have 2mm dpns so I used a bit larger size with some worsted weight wool, thus it is a little bit larger than the original.I'm thinking of adding a loop or hook and hanging some of these on the Christmas tree. Thanks to Suse for sharing this!
My Mum is currently looking for patterns for knitted Chrissy decorations, so she will enjoy this one.
ReplyDeleteHow very sweet. Such a cute acorn pattern.

ReplyDeleteOh perfect! I've been searching for little bobbles to attach to the fringe of a harvest themed mantle scarf.
ReplyDeletejust adorable...definitely put some on the tree!
ReplyDeleteoh deb, you are SO creative! i could definitely see these hanging from a tree, or a scarf????
ReplyDeleteThis is the cutest Acorn. I'd love to see a bowl full sitting on the table. Thank you for sharing
ReplyDeleteThat is the cutest thing I've seen all day! I just signed up for a knitting class at the library. Can't wait til I can make one. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAdorable acorn.
ReplyDeleteI picked some oak leaves the other day when I was in the forest. I sprayed them with a little clear acrylic to preserve them for a little longer. Loving autumn.

That is so adorable. Love it :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I adore acorns...there is something so natural and basic about them. They seem so perfectly designed! I love pine cones, too.
ReplyDeleteThis would make a fabulous ornament -- do it!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet!
Oh Deb,
ReplyDeletethese are just too cute! I love acorns :) Hmmm, I may need to step out and try using double pointed needles :) Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day!

Ohhhh! I love this!!
ReplyDeleteIt makes me feel all filled with Gemütlichkeit, a word I've adored since I first heard it in High School german, and that isn't easily translated but "coziness" comes closest. :)
Anyway - such an adorable acorn!
Oh thank you for the pattern I just love acorns!
ReplyDeleteWOW...love this! I can just see a whole bowl full! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is soooo cute! Love it!

super super cute! :) I love it!
ReplyDeleteI have not mastered knitting in the round yet. It confuses me! I can't figure out when you begin...how you divide the stitches and then combine them...? I need to watch a tutorial about it, I suppose! :)
That really is unique. I love it!
ReplyDeleteI am in LOVE with these! I printed them at work yesterday (shame on me) and the other ladies in the office had a tee-total hissy fit over them! Guess what I am knitting tonight?? Won't they be lovely with lavendar in them?? Thanks for the great idea!
ReplyDeleteI love your knitted acorn. They will look classy on a tree.
ReplyDeleteThank you SO much, I cant wait to get started on these as Christmas gifts.
ReplyDeleteYour acorn looks beautiful! Thanks so much for knitting it and showing my link! I love to see other peoples' versions of my little whimsy.
ReplyDeleteIf you are on ravelry, please upload it to your project page, as the pattern is there too :)
Best,
Suse
