Fall Decor: Crochet Acorn (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Autumn)

I just discovered these giant acorns. A neighbor actually brought one to me and I found out that the tree was right by my building. I have lived in this place for five years and I have never noticed the acorns. I am so glad I did this year. So, I made some crochet acorns to put in my shop. And here's how I made them.

Step 1: Wash the acorns in water. I only needed the tops.

Step 2: Bake them at 175 for 30 minutes on each side.

Step 3: Spray them with Satin Finish and let them dry for about an hour.

Step 4: Crochet the acorn. 

I don't have an exact pattern because the acorn tops come in different sizes. But this is how I start.

Acorn:

mr, ch 1, sh 8

rnd 1: 2 sc in each - 16

rnd 2: sc around - 16

rnd 3: 1 sc, 2 sc (8 times) - 24

rnd 4: 1 sc, 1 sc, 2 sc (8 times) - 32

rnd 5 (for a few rounds): sc around

Some acorn tops are smaller and I stop increasing once I reach 24 stitches. Some are larger and I have to increase more. If you need to increase more, add another rnd of just sc around.

I apologize for not being able to give you an exact pattern. But acorns are not the same and I do something different for each one.

I hope you liked this. Happy Fall!!!
