These adorable Acorn Lanterns are knit entirely in the round, from the bottom up, on dpns. The candle is embroidered on using a chain stitch. The bottom has been left open, so that they can stand independently and so the embroidery is easier to do. I hope they bring joy. To make a lantern with a real acorn lid click here!

To make an enclosed lantern, check out my Acorn Streetlamp pattern! You will just need to sew up the hole where the stick goes.

Hope you enjoy this free pattern!
Happy Knitting
