How to Crochet a Partial Lemon Slice for Play Kitchen

Partial Lemon Slice Crochet Pattern by: Madison – Schutt Farms

This partial lemon slice pattern was created to go with my lemon collection.  Teddy was so excited when he saw that he could now hang the lemon on the teacup. 

You can also see my Lemon Slice pattern here for additional variations of lemons to use at your tea party.

Crochet Hook size G, 4.00 mm., scissors, and tapestry needle (to assemble and weave in ends, if preferred).

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 is 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

Chain (CH): Yarn over and pull a loop back through

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.

Third Row: In second stitch from hook, * SC, INC, repeat from * 5x, CH 1, turn.

Fourth Row: In second stitch from hook, * 2 SC, INC, repeat from * 5x, CH 1, turn.

Fifth Row: In second stitch from hook, * 3 SC, INC, repeat from * 5x, in last stitch, change colors by pulling through with 6 white, CH 1, turn.

Sixth Row: In second stitch from hook, * 4 SC, INC, repeat from * 5x, in last stitch, change colors by pulling through with 326 curry (darker yellow), CH 1, turn.

Seventh Row: In second stitch from hook, * 5 SC, INC, repeat from * 5x.  Cut tail, and tie off.

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) to create a white line.  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.  Inserting the string through back loops of each stitch and continue weaving until all sides are sewn together.

Repeat this pattern as many times as you’d like to create an entire batch of lemon slices.
