✿ The acorn bowl everyone picks up and turns over.

Most crochet acorns are a cap, a nut and a lot of sewing. These are worked in one piece, stem and all, with nothing to sew and nothing to assemble. The Wheat Stitch™ cap gives them that braided texture people can’t keep their hands off.

Make all three sizes and fill a bowl. Pick a palette that sits out from July through January, or go full Woodland Christmas with no red at all.

▶️ Watch them come together on YouTube

✨ What makes it work

• One piece, no sewing. Start at the tip of the stem and work down. The cap flares out and the nut grows underneath.
• Same stitch counts every size. Want a bigger or smaller acorn? Change your yarn and hook, not the pattern.
• Six colorways included. Full palettes and the thinking behind each one.
• Optional weighted bottom. Add poly pellets or dried beans so they sit pretty.
• You’re not on your own. Video tutorial and written pattern included.
