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!!”

scissors, yarn needle, stuffing material (yarn pieces or fiberfill

    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.
