☘️ Nuts about this little squirrel

This newborn squirrel set comes with a fluffy hat, a diaper cover and a tiny acorn prop. It’s a sweet woodland look for newborn photos and fall sessions.

The stitches are simple single and double crochet, so the fun is all in the fuzzy yarn and that adorable acorn.

✨ What makes it work

• Three pieces. Hat, diaper cover and acorn.
• Simple stitches. Single crochet, double crochet and single crochet decrease.
• Fuzzy finish. An angel hair style yarn gives it that soft squirrel look.

✂️ What you’ll need

• Yarn: Angel Hair, Purl Essence in Dark Brown (now discontinued). Buttercream Luxe Craft Angel Hair is a great substitute and seems to be the same yarn relabeled.
• Love a swap? Sensations Angel Hair Boucle, Joann · A fellow crocheter suggests a lacy mill end yarn held double with a #4 yarn like Vanna’s Choice, Lion Brand
