Crochet Acorn

Cute crochet acorn (oak nut) for accessory. You can use any yarn you like, thinner ones for smaller results and thicker for bigger ones. Play with the colors for more fun looking acorn. I don’t think I’ve seen one in real life because it doesn’t grow up where I live, but I saw one on the internet the other day and I found it really cute with the cap on it. Have fun making these!
