Acorn pincushion

This big Acorn makes a handy pincushion, or use them to decorate your home. Use a combination of knits and purls to make the textured brown cup, and stockinette for the green top. Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the acorn is knitted in acrylic DK yarns on single pointed needles (not in the round), and the stalk is an i-cord tube worked on two DPNs. For beginners and above, other techniques used include casting on and off, knits, purls, increases and decreases, and seaming to finish.
