Acorn Top:
Chain 3 and join to form a ring Round 1: Work 4 SC inside ring (4 SC) {You may find working 4 SC in round 2 to be difficult. Its best to loosen your tension here, and to make sure you keep your stitches right side out. It is easy to accidentally work the stitches inside out when working with a small quantity of stitches in a round. If you still find difficulty, use a yarn marker to mark your first stitch}

Round 2: Work 1 SC in each stitch (4 SC) Round 3: Work 2 SC in each stitch around (8 SC) Round 4: Work 2 SC in each stitch around (16 SC) Round 5: *Work 1 SC in the next stitch; work 2 SC in the next.
