The Knit Acorn is knit entirely in the round from the bottom up. You can use any sized yarn you wish, just make sure that both the nut and cap colors are the same weight yarn.
The Stick Acorn is knit in the round from the top down, and consists of only 6 rounds! For the Stick Acorn I will show you when to decrease or increase your knit rounds in order to fit your particular sized acorn cap.
