⚠️ **US notation.** This pattern uses at least one abbreviation that means a different stitch in UK notation (UK "dc" is US "sc"; UK "tr" is US "dc"). Work it as US, or read the UK column in the key below.

## Instructions

### Acorn body

- **Round 1:** 4 sc → 4
- **Round 2:** 4 inc → 8
- **Round 3:** (sc, inc)x4 → 12
- **Round 4-6:** 12 sc → 12

### Acorn cap

- **Round 1:** 14 dc → 14
- **Round 2:** 14 hdc → 14

### Stem

- **Foundation:** chain 3
- **Row 1:** sl, sl, sl → 3

## Abbreviations used

| In the pattern | US abbreviation | Stitch name (US) | UK abbreviation | What it is |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| sl | sl st | Slip stitch | ss |  |
| sc | sc | Single crochet | dc |  |
| hdc | hdc | Half double crochet | htr |  |
| dc | dc | Double crochet | tr |  |
| inc | inc | Increase | inc | 2 sts in 1 st |

The UK column is the abbreviation a UK-notation reader would use for the SAME stitch. Where it differs from the US one, following the pattern with UK meanings produces the wrong stitch height.

## How the notation reads

- `(sc, inc) x6` — repeat what is in the brackets 6 times — also written 6x (sc, inc)
