Lemon Slice Crochet Pattern by Madison – Schutt Farms
This is another beginner-friendly play food crochet pattern that we have stocked in Teddy’s pay kitchen. This specific creation was inspired by grandma’s tea. The day I finished my first set of lemons, Teddy’s squeezed it over a teacup and said, “Grandma does this to her tea”. My heart pretty much melted.
These lemon slices also look cute as party decorations. Lemonade themed birthday parties, bridal shower, baby shower are all super cute themes that have been popular over the last few years, and this quick pattern can be replicated many times to create tons and tons of lemons for play and/or décor.
Materials

Crochet Hook size G, 4.00 mm., scissors, and tapestry needle (to assemble and weave in ends).
If you’re new to crochet, you can get started building your tools with this set of hooks from Amazon. You get the most product for your money.
If you already have a lot of hooks, just not in size G yet, you can order just this hook. I would suggest in investing in an ergonomic hook with a larger handle. Almost all of my food creations use this size hook, so it’s a worth it upgrade.
Medium, Size 4 Yarn
Here are the brand and colors I used, but similar colors in other size 4 yarn will yield similar results.
Brand: I love this cotton (sold at Hobby Lobby). Colors #: 326 Curry (Yellow), 12 Buttercup (Lighter Yellow), 6 White
stitches/abbreviations:
Single Crochet (SC): Insert hook in desired stitch, yarn over and pull a loop back through the stitch, yarn over and pull through all loops on hook.
Increase (INC): Single crochet twice in the same stitch. This would increase the stitch count by 1 each time completed.

Seventh Round: * 5 SC, INC, repeat from * 5 more times (42 SC). Cut and tie off ends.
To add wedge detail, using white, from wrong side, pull through a strand in round 6 (white round) and insert strand into Round 2 (middle). Repeat this 5 – 6 times creating white lines connecting Round 2 and Round 6.
Repeat above steps to create another lemon slice, this time leaving a long tail in order to assemble the final product.
assembly
With wrong sides facing in/right sides facing out, sew both pieces together. Using a tapestry needle or your crochet hook, weave the yarn tail from one of the slices around the edges of each to connect. Insert the string through the back loops of each stitch and continue weaving until all sides are sewn together.
Optional: If you want your lemon slice to be stiff, consider adding a piece of cardboard between both pieces prior to sewing together.
