The Little Acorn Pouch
The Little Acorn Pouch is fun to make and fun to share!
My kid loves her treasures. Long past that sweet age when toddlers put everything into boxes and bags, she still does it. Her bedside table has three treasure boxes and the drawer is overflowing. Bits of ribbon, acorns and pincecones, barrettes, photographs, crayons, stones, leaves…
These little pouches are for that sweet spirit of my daughter who sees beauty and value in every little thing.
Durable, big enough to hold a respectable pine cone, but not so big as to lose that special pebble. Bright, fun and natural.
Knit, felt, embellish, have fun!
This tutorial requires/ uses the following skills (which are easy to pick up!):
Knitting (includes YO, K2T and Magic Loop on circular needles)
Felting (complete instructions included for sink and machine wet felting ~ technically called fulling when making felt with a knitted item).
Materials required:
small amounts of worsted to bulky weight wool yarn
circular needle (size 7 US)
Finished (fulled/ felted) Pouches measure 5” square.
