Size: From 7" to 9" (18 to 23 cm) tall. Size will vary with yarn used and the amount of felting.

***We have a selection of free yarn to choose from for those knitting/crocheting these items for a charity, such as the Black Forest Fire Donation Drive***
This is a super quick knit! I’ve made them for present toppers and for just sweet little fall ornaments. The beauty is, if you use larger needles and thicker yarn, the acorn will be much bigger! The pattern as written makes an acorn about an inch and a half tall, not including the loop. For fun, I used a “fuzzy” yarn for the cap.
