A little autumn pattern

gehaakte eikels

This is a free acorn and nut pattern, for all of you who love autumn. I look forward to the autumn, with all those beautiful colours and leaves that flutter through the air. Even thinking of the moisty smell gives me a happy feeling.

So therefore and hereby, I’ve written a free acorn pattern in this post. The acorns and nut I made for Trin, but I thought it would be nice to offer them for free also.

Here’s the pattern.

Acorns

Bottom in mustard/ apple green or whatever you like.

1- magic ring of 4

2- (sc in next, 2 sc in next) x2 =6

3- (sc in next 2, 2 sc in next) x2 =8

4- (sc in next 3, 2 sc in next) x2 =10

5-6 sc in each around =10 (stuff acorn)

7- (sc in next 3 st, s2tog) x2 =8

8- s2tog x 4 =4, sl st and sew together, weave in end.

Top in dark green

1- magic ring of 5

2- 2 sc in each around =10

3- (sc in next 4, 2 sc in next) x2 =12

4- sc in each around =12, close with sl st and weave tail to top, so you can make a little loop (as stem), make sure your loop won’t close and use the rest of the tail to sew the top to the bottom of the acorn. I needle felted the loop at the top so it forms a tight stem.

Nuts

In brown and beige.

1- magic ring of 4

2- 2 sc in each around =8

3- (sc in next st, 2 sc in next st) x4 =12

4- sc in each around =12 (change colour in last loop and stuff)

5- (sc in next st, s2tog) x4 =8

6- s2tog x 4 =4, close and sew tight, weave in end.

Good luck and enjoy the autumn!

  1. There is something quite special about Autumn.
    Fantastic pattern here, it’s easy to follow as well but obviously from the pictures – you get one great result by the end! 🙂
    Great piece of work!

  2. Thanks, I love to make those little things. Autumn by the way is my favorite saeson though there will be a lot of acorns in my house this year.
