Break yarn and thread through remaining 6 stitches. Stuff the acorn with a bit of wool yarn before drawing the stitches together and then tie off.
To felt the acorn: Add a few drops of liquid soap to a small bowl of hot water. Wet the acorn thoroughly in the water/soap mixture and then roll the acorn around in the palms of your hands until you can no longer see the knit stitches. Rinse in cold water and squeeze out excess water while forming into an acorn shape. Allow to dry and glue on an acorn cap.

Very cute! Will the cap dry and not mold? We have lots of caps but they are very tiny. Have a great day...
That, quite simply, is just toooo cute!

Oh this is so cute! But I don't knit!
I love it and I found a few acorn caps on holiday. Unfortunately I couldn't bring them home. I'll have to find an oak tree around these parts.
