Acorns ~

 

Just a quick peek at the acorns I hooked.  I used a twig for the stem but a piece of tightly rolled wool could also be used.  Here they are sitting in the tote I recently bought.  The pumpkin was hooked a number of years ago.


Here's a better view.


I backed them with wool and stuffed them with snippets.


Here's the pattern I drew up in case you'd like to hook a few.


Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊

I love your acorns. They look nice in the tote with the pumpkin.

Every time I see your header, I want to stroke that soft pug fur.lol.
A beautiful day here today and I dug up part of my potatoes. I'll do the rest if my back holds up tomorrow.
Hugs, Julia

Those are really nice and a great idea for hooking something small.

Nice fall hooked idea. Back in the day I used to make acorn pin keeps but never hooked them before. Actually haven't hooked a pumpkin either and think that would rank above the acorn. Gonna need to draw me a pumpkin!!! Love your wooden double server.

These are stinking ADORABLE GT!!!! But I am always completely gobsmacked by your perfectly perfect hooking. What? Do you measure the space and then mathematically calculate what size cut you should use so you don't have to "squeeze or wedge any loops and ruin your precise and symmetrical rows???????? Gobsmacked in Nod ~ET~

These are way cute. Thanks for sharing the pattern. Going to have to try them out. How do you attach the backing? I agree with the comment about your perfect hooking!

Hi Lauren,
I just sent you a LONG EMAIL, explaining why you have not seen me commenting and decided to try one more time, just for the heck of it!!!! All of a sudden, I CAN COMMENT!!!! WHAT????
If you knew HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE TRIED, you would laugh!!!!! Anyway, HERE I AM!!!!!
LOVE your sweet acorns and they look so good in the fabulous carrier!! Hope you are keeping it!!! It is just a wonderful size and shape and love that copper insert!!!
Hope you are doing well and if I could, I would send you some of our Arizona heat!!! Still in the triple digits, but is it S L O W L Y moving in the opposite direction! At least it is cooler in the early AM!!!
Have a great weekend, my friend!!
Heart Hugs~

Absolutely lovely!! There is something about acorns that just scream fall.
