Let’s crochet lemons. We all know that life size lemons come in different sizes, so here are two different life size crochet lemon crochet lemon 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 lemon patterns!
I have also designed Mini Lemons & you can find the Mini Crochet Lemons Patterns HERE on this blog.
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.
This post has two patterns for life size crochet 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 crochet 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!
