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 also added a few life sized lemons to a Half Gallon Mason Jar, along with some of the Smaller Lemons. I then added a few other embellishments . It is so pretty! I hope you enjoy the crochet lemon patterns!
