Tiny Squirrel in an Acorn Cup

Tiny Knitted Squirrel Pattern - Discover the charm of these delightful tiny knitted squirrels, among the smallest you’ll ever create! Each squirrel features a dainty hazelnut-sized head and a cute walnut-sized body, making them perfect for all your crafting projects. To keep their little ones safe, their mothers lovingly place them in adorable acorn cup baskets, which are then gently hung in the trees. These quick and easy knitted squirrels are not only fun to make but also serve as excellent items for fundraisers at craft fairs and community bazaars.

Size: 6 cm (2.5 in) - perfect for gifts, decorations, or as a charming addition to your forest-themed creations.

Needles: For the Squirrel - use 2.75 mm needles (US size 2); for the Basket - opt for 3.25 mm needles (US size 3).

Yarn: Minimal amounts of double knitting yarn in various colors are required (in the USA, use light worsted; in Australia, this corresponds to 8 ply). Choose vibrant colors to bring these little critters to life!
