I am making a giant acorn for this project. It is going to go with a squirrel that I am going to make but haven’t yet started.

The dark brown is the bottom of acorn. I’m still debating on what patterns to use for the top section. I’m thinking of using a popcorn or a shell stitch to simulate the patterns on top of acorns.

I’ve completed the acorn! It was three pieces; The dark brown base, the light brown top shell, and the dark brown stem.

To do the top shell I use a stitch called the crocodile stitch. I found a pattern for a hat that was done in a circle. Here is the link: http://www.allfreecrochet.com/Hats/Crochet-Crocodile-Stit...#.

I altered this pattern and stitch to work as the shell top.
I think it came out pretty good. :)
