Video I followed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alPXSr8JJhI

Beginner Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Duration: ~2 hours

What I learned

  • Magic ring technique (MR)
  • Simple chain stitch
  • Double crochet technique (DC) for the lemon body
  • Single crochet (SC), Half double crochet (HDC), slip stich (SL ST) for the leaf

Struggles

  • The leaf was a little challenging and may take a bit of time to crochet.
  • I used pure cotton yarn for this project, which made it softer and more flimsy than my other coaster project, but it still works.
  • I glued the leaf onto the body of the lemon, so when my mug is placed on the leaf, it is tilted. Luckily the body of the lemon is big enough for the whole circumference of the mug (pic shown below)

    Thoughts

    I made this as a gift for my grandma, it’s really cute!

    Materials I used:

    • 3.0mm hook
    • 4-ply yarn
    • Stitch marker (or a paper clip/ safety pin is fine)
    • Scissors
