How To Crochet A Lemon | Free Crochet Pattern

A crochet lemon is so much fun to use as decoration! They are so cute hanging from the point of this unique Towel Topper! I added a few of the lemons to wreath just for fun, and then I had to create LIFE size lemons to add to the Lemon Farmhouse Basket or to put in a jar with lights. There are endless possibilities. Let me show you how to crochet a lemon that is 3 dimensional to add to your Farmhouse Lemon Table decor.

I sometimes use affiliate links in my posts. This won’t cost you anything, but will help offset the cost of yarn and other supplies needed, so that I can continue bringing you crochet patterns and craft ideas. Thank you so much for your support.

Crochet lemons are so fun to decorate your farmhouse home.

A small lemon and a larger lemon, with a small and larger leaf are included in this design. One side of the lemon is flat, so that you can easily place them on the table, or on a wreath, or hang them from a garland. There are so many things you can do with these lemons. The crochet pattern has gotten a 5 star review on etsy. Jeanne Shane said, “Great pattern, easy to understand. And the lemons are adorable!!”

    The lemons are so cute and I like the idea to out on a handle or knob in the kitchen. I have yellow in my kitchen with sunflower curtain topper for Kansas.
