 SHAPING THE ACORN CAP
You can leave the acorn cap as is (Picture F) or you can create a slight indentation and add more shape to
it (Picture G).
To do that, we will sew between Rounds 8 and 9 of the acorn cap pulling tightly to create the indentation.
Use the same color thread you used to make the cap. I used ecru for the step by step pictures to show the
process better.
Insert your needle through a stitch in the acorn and through a space between Rounds 8 and 9 of the acorn
cap (Picture H).
Insert the needle through the next stitch of the acorn cap (Picture I) and through any stitch of the acorn.
Pull tight while holding the beginning tail (Picture J).

 Pull tight while holding the beginning tail (Picture J).
Insert your needle through the same stitch in the acorn you just pulled it out of (Picture K) and through
the next space in the acorn cap (Picture L).
Pull tight and insert your needle through the next space between Rounds 8 and 9 of the acorn cap and any
one stitch of the acorn. Pull tight. (Picture M)
Repeat until you create an indentation all around the stem. Make sure to pull tight to create the
indentation but be careful not to break the thread.

 EYES: Glue the eyes between Rounds 11 and 12, 7 spaces apart if you have not done so already.

CHEECKS: With light pink thread sew three times a round below each eye, about 3 stitches long.

MOUTH: Use DMC cotton perle 12 black thread (or single strand DMC floss).
Insert both ends a stitch away from each eye. Pull until you have enough thread to form the smile.
Put clear tacky glue on the black thread and press on the acorn’s face with the back of your hook forming a
cute smile.
