Autumn Acorns and Oak Leaves: A Woodland Acorns Cross Stitch Pattern
Capture the changing colors of the forest in a beautifully balanced autumn cross stitch design. Four acorns are nestled into curling oak branches, framed by vivid orange and red leaves with rich green foliage. A small red-and-green folk-art motif anchors the composition.
Originally titled Autumn Biscornu in the chart, this is a large, symmetrical counted cross stitch motif with biscornu-inspired styling. Stitch it as a seasonal textile art project, prepare it for framing, or choose a finishing method suited to its dimensions.

This autumn botanical motif is a lovely choice for a seasonal wall piece or framed needlework display.
