Lemon C2C Crochet Square

Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy! The lemon square is another simple corner-to-corner crochet project!

I love lemons and think this would be a fun little crossbody purse project or another lemon-themed piece. Fresh and bright and fun for the summer!

This graph is 8 x 12 pixel squares and has a finished size of about 5.5 x 8 inches.

I’ve been posting a series of fruit themed corner-to-corner crochet squares! These C2C pieces are small and doable. They can be started and finished in a day or two. Not all the fruits will fit in the same pixel graph. They are close in size, but not exactly the same.

I am using Red Heart Super Saver Yarn for the fruit squares and the colors I have chosen will be repeating throughout all of them. I will have more updates on yarn (shhhh… there might be a deal coming your way soon!)

If you are new to the Corner-to-Corner (C2C) Crochet technique, let me explain a little bit about it. You can take a pixel graph and turn it into a crocheted piece. By starting in one corner of the graph (the lower right hand is most common place to start), you will crochet crochet diagonally in rows until you get to the other corner. One pixel square = a chain 2 + 3 HDC stitches. Please note that I am using HDC (half double crochet) stitches for the C2C instead of DC (double crochet).

The Crochet Lemon Tote Bag is still one of my favorite projects! If you like Lemons, you might want to give this one a try! It can also easily be made into other citrus fruits like an orange or lime.
