Free pattern: Acorn pillow

This acorn pillow is so pretty for fall! Connie from ReFabulous has a free pattern for you. You can make it from two fat quarters – one for the acorn top and one for the acorn bottom – but she used a recycled man’s shirt sleeve for the top. How cute would this be made out of recycled sweaters?
