January's Free Pattern

I had a little time this morning, so I decided to make an acorn pattern. Half an hour later, the acorn was out the window, and I had made a strawberry. I think I'll make a bunch of these and put them in a bowl in the kitchen.

Since this was such a simple, cute pattern, I have decided to share it with you! Enjoy your Monday!
