The Moot Soul

This is a pattern for a felted, knitted acorn.



I was inspired by the many beautiful acorns on ravelry.com, but especially Little Acorn Project Bag http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/little-acorn-project-bag. Alas, I don't crochet, so I wrote this pattern for my own purposes.

Needles: Double Pointed size 8
Yarn: Patons Classic Wool in Natural and Brown

CO 75
Rows 1-36 k
