In this post, you will see how to create your very own crochet acorn garland.

At this time of the year, many people decorate their homes for autumn with pine cones, acorns, pumpkins and other things that celebrate the season.

Making your own fall decor can make your home have a gorgeous rustic look.

This season is the perfect time to go on fall walks in those crunchy leaves, drink hot chocolate by the fire, and getting out those WIP’s (works in progress) that need to be finished off.

It is also the time to learn a new craft, from knitting and crochet to quilting or even spinning!

Making this sweet acorn garland will allow you to bring some of those lovely autumnal colours inside.

*Don’t forget to pin and share!*

Crochet Acorn

From crocheting or knitting your own pumpkins to creating your very own crochet acorns, you can make garlands, table displays and more.

All you really need to get started are a few materials, including leftover yarns from your stash, fiberfill, and makers tools that include scissors and a darning needle.

The acorns are really easy to make and measure around 3″ when finished.

The yarn I used was leftover from another project in light brown and dark brown.

But you could use any colours to make your acorns, they don’t have to be in those colours.

I think they would look good in any colour!

Crocheted Acorn Pattern

This crochet acorn garland is such an easy project to make.

Even if you are a beginner and still learning how to crochet, you can easily make this garland.

You can add more or fewer acorns depending on how long you want the garland to be.

I also use some twine to thread through the stems of the acorns, so that the rustic look was just right.
