When life gives you lemons.. make Lemon Bunting. I wanted to make a fun Lemon Bunting Garland for my decorative Lemonade stand, so I whipped one up using two different shapes for the lemons. This garland is great for not only a Lemonade Stand but also, summer decor and summer parties or even use the lemon appliques as decoration on other items.
Materials:

– small amount of worsted weight yarn in leaf color. (Hobby Lobby’s I love this Yarn! in Keylime)
– small amount of worsted weight yarn in white. (Hobby Lobby’s I love this Yarn! in White)
– Size G (4.0mm) Crochet Hook
– Yarn Needle
Size: Round Lemon – 3″ Diameter
Oval Lemon – 3″ height x 2″ width
Guage:
Not critical for this project.

MC – Magic Circle Double Treble Crochet (dtr) – An elongated post stitch. Using the same principal as the double crochet, the Double Treble uses three yarn overs before entering the fabric instead of one. ![]() To Change Color in sc: Yarn over and draw up a loop in the last st of the row, drop the color in use; with next color to be used, draw through 2 loops on hook. Continue with new color. For more helpful tips for changing colors seamlessly, check out Crochet Jogless Stripes. |
