Acorn Nut

Note - worked in a continuous spiral - count carefully!

To begin (color A): Make your starting slip knot leaving a long tail end approximately 90 cm long (from the tip of your nose to the tip of your fingers when you stretch your arm out straight!)

Round 1 (color A): Ch 2; 6 dc in 2nd ch from hook [6 sts];

Round 2: (2 dc in first stitch; 1 dc in next stitch) 3 times [9 sts];

Rounds 3, 4 and 5: 1 dc in each st [9 sts - count to 27 to complete all three rounds]

Stuffing: Roll up your long tail end and use the end of your crochet hook to stuff the yarn up inside your acorn nut.

Round 6/7: 1 dc decrease; 1 dc) 4 times, or until you no longer have a hole. Fasten off and darn in the tail end, stitching the hole completely closed at the same time.


Acorn Cup

Note - worked in a continuous spiral - count carefully!

Round 1: Ch 2; work 6 dc in 2nd ch from hook [6 sts]

Round 2: (2 dc in first st; 1 dc in next st) 3 times [9 sts]

Round 3: 1 dc in each stitch around [9 sts]

Fasten off, leaving a long tail end for stitching.


Acorn Stalk

Thread you starting tail end down through the central hole so that the yarn is on the outside of the acorn cup. Insert your hook in through the central hole, then back out again a very short distance away (between rounds 1 & 2). Hold your tail end as if it's a working length of yarn, yarn over, and slip stitch through the acorn cup and through the loop on your hook. Ch 3; sl st into 2nd ch from hook; sl st in next ch. Fasten off and darn in end.


Assembly

Place your acorn nut inside the cup. Using the tail end still attached to the top of the acorn cup, stitch around the top edge to attach the cup securely to the nut. Pass the needle up though the centre of the acorn nut to the top end and make a very small stitch, passing the needle back down through the centre of the nut to the base of the cup. Fasten off neatly.
