Crochet Acorn Square

This tiny tree nut is the perfect addition to my Fall themed crochet squares! The Acorn is a simple circle to a square crochet pattern with just a few tweaks to give it’s shape and then an easy round of double crochets to make the acorn top.

Materials:
– Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in Cornmeal (acorn), Bernat Super Value in Topaz (acorn top), and Bernat Super Value in Rouge (background)
