Tips for Squirrel and Acorn
Make the tail big and bushy — it is the squirrel's crowning glory. Crochet the acorn as two pieces: tan nut with a textured brown cap. Stitch it between her paws so she holds it naturally. A cream belly patch adds classic woodland contrast.
Autumn's Sweetheart
This squirrel is perfect for fall decor, woodland nurseries, and nature-lover gifts. Display her with pumpkins and leaves for seasonal charm. She is a reliable autumn bestseller at craft fairs — squirrels with acorns fly off tables in October.
Care Instructions
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap; air dry flat. Fluff the tail with your fingers after cleaning. Store in a dry place with her acorn held tight.
