🧶 Use thinner yarn for a smaller acorn and bulky yarn for big, chunky ones.
Yarn Recommendations for the Perfect Acorn
For my sample, I used Loops & Threads Soft Classic Solid Yarn. This yarn is a medium 4 / worsted weight yarn, made from 100% acrylic, and it’s both soft and sturdy, exactly what you want when making acorns that need to hold their perfect acorn shape.
Each skein comes with 315 yards, so there’s plenty of yarn for a few small acorns or even a couple of larger acorns. Plus, it’s machine washable and comes in a wide range of colours, making it easy to customize your fall decor with classic orange yarn, creamy neutrals, or even fun, unexpected colours.
If you don’t have access to this yarn, don’t worry, this free crochet acorns pattern works beautifully with almost any worsted weight yarn. Here are some great alternatives:
- Lily Sugar ’n Cream (cotton) – A fantastic option if you want a firmer texture and strong stitch definition.
- Bernat Super Value (acrylic) – Similar to Soft Classic, budget-friendly, and great for whipping up a patch of little acorns.
- Red Heart Super Saver (acrylic) – A tried-and-true yarn that’s available just about everywhere and comes in almost every colour you can imagine.
- Caron One Pound (acrylic) – Ideal if you plan to make multiple acorns in different sizes since one skein goes a long way.
- Paintbox Yarns Simply Aran (acrylic) – Sold online and available in a huge variety of shades—perfect if you want to coordinate your acorns with your fall home decor.
👉 Want to change things up? Try using a bulky yarn for an easy crochet acorn pattern that works up super quick and gives you extra squish. Or, for a fun twist, hold two strands of thinner yarn together to create a unique texture and a chunkier acorn shape.

Notes
- The body of this acorn is worked bottom up in continuous rounds without joining or turning.
- The top of the acorn is worked in joined rounds, and you’ll turn at the end of each round to keep the texture even.
- Leave a long tail when closing the top – this will be used to close the acorn later.
- Change colours on the final slip stitch of the round unless otherwise noted.
- Stitch counts are included at the end of each round in ( ).
- Written in US crochet terms.
- Long double crochet (ldc) in Round 3 and beyond is worked into the sc of Round 1 (or into the middle st of the cluster below in later rounds).
- Turning chain for the top of the acorn does not count as a stitch.
This pattern is that it also comes with a video tutorial. This means that you can follow along step-by-step. Whether you’re struggling to understand a particular stitch or just want to see how it should look, the video tutorial is a fantastic resource to have.
You can pause, rewind, and re-watch as many times as you need to make sure you’re doing everything correctly.
Special Stitches
Long Double Crochet (ldc): Work double crochet around and in front of the previous Rnd and into the stitch indicated one Rnd below.
Cluster: In the space between groups of 3 dc, work (dc, ldc in middle st of cluster below, dc). When working ldc be sure to bring the height of the stitch up to match the height of the dc previously made in the space between the clusters.
Using Colours in Your Acorn
Follow the crochet acorn round instructions as written, and when you start the top simply switch yarns according to the colour guide below. Each round is worked completely in a single colour. At the end of the listed rounds, change colours as instructed.
How to change colours below.
💡 Adjusting for Different Colours
If you’d like to use fewer (or more) colours than shown, it’s easy to adjust! Just take the total yarn amount for the top of the acorn listed for your acorn size and divide it by the number of colours you plan to use. For example, if the Medium Acorn uses about 22 g and you want to use only two colours, plan for roughly 11g of each colour. This is a rough calculation, so it’s always a good idea to have a little extra yarn on hand to make sure you don’t run short.
💡 Tip:
Not sure which colours to use? Try out my Random Stripe Generator on my blog Pretty Darn Adorable! It’s a fun tool that not only mixes and matches random stripes for you, but you can also upload your own photos and pull colour palettes directly from them. A super easy way to figure out the perfect stripe order for your acorn.
Colour Changes for Top of Acorn
- Round 1: Work with Colour A
- Round 2: Switch to Colour B
- Round 3: Switch to Colour C
- Round 4: Switch to Colour D
- Round 5: Switch to Colour E
- Finishing Round: Work in same colour as previous round.
How to Make Colour Changes
Steps
- Work the round as written in the current colour.
- When you get to the very last slip stitch (sl st) of the round, stop before completing it.
- Drop the old colour and place the new colour on your hook.
- Pull the new colour through to finish the slip stitch – this completes the join for that round.
- Chain 1 and turn (as pattern instructs), now working the next round in the new colour.
- No need to weave in – simply tie a knot and tuck them to the inside of the acorn.
Note: Make sure all yarn tails from your colour changes are pulled to the same side of the acorn. Round 1 is the outside of the acorn, so pull all tails to the inside. If you forget, no worries – just use your crochet hook to grab them through and pull them to the inside later.

👉 When finished, scroll down to Finishing (All Sizes) to close and stuff your acorn.
Finishing (All Sizes)
- Weave yarn through the top: This may feel a bit backwards, but it’s easier to do after stuffing—otherwise the needle tends to catch on the filling and things can get messy.
- Stuff your acorn: Add fibre fill (or any stuffing you like) until it’s nice and plump. Stop just before the top so it stays a little flat- that’s what gives the top of the acorn its shape.
- Close the top: Pull the yarn snug to cinch the opening shut. If you are inserting a stem remember to leave a small opening to accommodate the stem.
- Finishing touches: Weave in any remaining ends and add embellishments if you like.
👉 Once you’ve closed it up, give your acorn a little squish and fluff until it looks just right. Then add a stem or leave it as is – either way it’s ready to show off!
All my patterns go through testing, but if you find anything that seems off, let me know. I’m always looking to improve! Thank you for supporting my work!
Happy Crocheting,
