Acorn Hat Knitting Pattern Inspired by Chip and Dale

About the Pattern

Chip and Dale love this acorn hat. Don’t believe me? See my photographic evidence at the bottom of this post. I crammed in as many acorns as I could fit, just like a chipmunk would do!

This hat is especially cute when knit in a pair. I did one in a lighter brown with a big red pom pom, and one in a darker brown with a small black pom pom. Just like Chip and Dale! Mine are made with Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Worsted in colorways: Chestnut for Dale and Chocolate for Chip. For a softer acorn hat, try Knit Picks Swish Worsted. Side note: I remember which chipmunk is which by knowing that Chip’s nose is like a chocolate chip.

I have more patterns for Disney fans, too. Take a peek at Sea Witch, Beyond Infinity, and Haunted Wallpaper.
