Instructions
This pattern is made in rounds.
Round 1: Using yellow, make a magic ring and immediately chain 2. Then dc x12 into the magic ring. To secure the round, sl st to the 1st dc in the round (12).
Round 2: Ch x2, then dc inc in every stitch from the previous round. Then sl st to the first dc in the round (24).
Round 3: Ch x2, then dc inc, dc and repeat for the rest of the round. Then sl st to the first dc in the round (36).
Round 4: This is the last round for the lemon and will help create the overall lemon shape.
In the first stitch of the round: dc, tr x3, and dc. There should be 5 stitches. Then immediately make a sl st in the following stitch.
Sc, hdc inc, (dc x 2, dc inc) x3, dc x2, hdc inc, sc, and sl st. In the next stitch, make a second lemon bump by making a dc, tr x3, and dc in the same stitch. Then sl st, sc, hdc inc, (dc x2, dc inc) x3, dc x2, hdc inc, sc, and sl st to the beginning of the round. Finally fasten off the yarn and weave in any ends.
Lemon Leaf:
Ch x8, in the 3rd chain from the hook and make a dc. In the following chains make this stitch sequence: tr, dc, hdc, sc, sl st. Then make a ch and flip to the other side of the chain that hasn't been worked on.
On the unworked side of the chain, do the following sequence of stitches: sl st, sc, hdc, dc, tr, dc, ch x2 and sl st to the last stitch on the chain.
Immediately ch x7, and in the second stitch from the hook make a sl st, then sc, hdc, dc, tr, dc, in the remainder of the chain stitches. Then ch x2 and sl st to the last stitch. Fasten off and leave a tail for sewing.
Finishing:
Sew the leaf to the right side of the lemon near the first lemon bump we made.
Optionally, if you wanted you can create faces on the lemon by using black yarn and embroidering happy faces or sour faces on the middle part of the lemon.
And now you have a finished lemon crochet coaster!
