How To Crochet Life Size Lemons

Let’s crochet life size lemons. We all know that life size lemons come in different sizes, so here are two different life size lemon crochet patterns for you to enjoy, with matching leaves. I know you are going to love them. They fill up the lemon basket so fast. They are quick to crochet! I hope you enjoy the crochet patterns!

I have also designed Mini Lemons & you can find the Mini Lemons Crochet Patterns HERE on this blog.

This post has two patterns for life size lemons, but a small lemon and a larger lemon, with a small and larger leaf can be found here on this blog. www.small-large-lemon.com.  When designing these lemons I left one side of the lemon 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. You can purchase an ad free pdf on Etsy and Ravelry.  The crochet pattern has gotten a 5 star review on etsy. Jeanne Shane said, “Great pattern, easy to understand. And the lemons are adorable!
