Substituting Yarn

Our Rustic Farmhouse Crochet Acorn pattern features Wool of the Andes in both worsted and bulky weight yarn, chosen for its rustic appeal and wide colour variety. The great news is that gauge is not critical for this pattern, allowing you plenty of flexibility when selecting substitute yarns.

You can easily use worsted-weight yarn and double or triple it for this pattern or opt for bulky or superbulky-weight yarn so that only a single strand is needed. Additionally, using a single strand of worsted-weight yarn is perfect for creating miniature acorns.

Pattern

Small (Medium)

Notes:

The pattern is written for the smallest size, with larger sizes indicated in parentheses ( ). The small and medium pumpkins are made using Bulky yarn and a 5mm hook. The large and extra-large acorns are made using super bulky yarn instead of bulky weight yarn and a 6.5mm hook. To create the super bulky large acorn, follow the instructions for the small size; for the super bulky extra-large acorn, follow the instructions for the medium size. If there is only one number provided, it applies to all sizes. A step-by-step video tutorial is available on YouTube for the small size. To make super bulky weight yarn, use 3 strands of worsted weight yarn. A helpful trick for this is included in the video tutorial.

Filling the Crochet Acorn

Before closing the acorn, make sure to fill it with polyester fiberfill to give it shape.

Finishing

Using a yarn needle, weave through the flo of each stitch around the opening. Pull the yarn to close the opening and weave in any loose tails. Next, use a glue gun to secure the jute cord around the top of the acorn, covering approximately one-third of its upper portion. Finally, break off a small piece of cinnamon stick and glue it to the center top of the acorn to create a charming stem.

Experiment with various yarn weights to create a variety of acorns in different colours and sizes. Wool of the Andes will give your acorns a rustic farmhouse appearance, and it comes in a wide array of beautiful colours. Be sure to maintain a tight stitch throughout your project, ensuring the stuffing remains hidden for a polished finish. Enjoy the creative process, and have fun customizing your acorns!
