Life sized lemons are pretty easy to crochet, and they are so much fun to use to decorate with.


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!
