Using an all-over lace acorn pattern, at least nine different things for the home can be knitted from the instructions in this pattern. 100% cotton worsted is recommended and US Size 6 (4.00 mm) and US Size 5 (3.75 mm) needles. A large buttonhole is worked in the tab of the hanging towel. Using with leftover bits of yarn, an attractive set of leaves and acorns is knitted separately and sewn onto the pieces.
