Citrus Fruit Keychain Free Crochet Pattern

This pattern is made up of two pieces, which are worked in the


round and then crocheted together to make one slice of fruit. The
finished measurements of each one are approximately 7cm/2.5″.
Fruit Slice (make 2 panels) with 3.5mm hook:
The panels are worked in joined rounds (i.e. not continuously).
When switching colours after a round, I find a seamless transition
is easiest when you join the last round with your new colour, then
ch 1 and continue in the new colour.
Start in White.
Rnd 1: MR 6 sc (6 sts), join to beg st with your next colour (see
below) and ch 1 with the new colour.
Rounds 2 and 3 will be completed with the flesh colour for
whatever fruit you’re making (for the lime, this will be Hot Green,
for the orange it will be Hot Orange, for the lemon, Pale Yellow,
and for the grapefruit, Rich Orchid)
Rnd 2: [2Hdc] in each st around (12 sts), join and ch 1
Rnd 3: [Hdc, 2hdc], repeat [ ] around (18 sts), join with White and
ch 1 in White.
Rnd 4: In White, [Sc 2, inc], repeat [ ] around (24 sts), join with
peel colour (see below) and ch 1.
Round 5 is completed in the peel colour. For the lime this will be
Guacamole, for the orange, Orange Crush, for the lemon, Mustard,
and for the grapefruit, Hot Orange.
Rnd 5: [Sc 3, inc], repeat [ ] around (30 sts).
Join to first st and tie off. Repeat all of the above for the back
panel.
Move on to assembly below!

Assembly:
Step 1: Sections and Face
The first thing we need to do is add our wedge sections to each
panel. With your tapestry needle and light weight yarn in white,
make 8 stitches going from the outside of the MR to round 4.
I found the easiest way to make sure they’re even is to make one
stitch, then make the same stitch on the opposite side. Then turn
and do the same (like you are making a cross) and then turn it
again and repeat. Repeat for the back panel.

Next, add your eyes and mouth. I used 8mm and 9mm safety
eyes, as well as black crochet thread to stitch on happy eyes (and
sour eyes on the lemon!)

Step 2: Attaching
Time to join! You will have two fruit slices now, one with a face
and one without.
Lime panels
Place the two panels together, matching up all sides.
**Make sure the front (the side with the face) is facing you as you
crochet around the outside.**
Starting anywhere, begin attaching the panels together by
chaining one and single crocheting around the outside of the
panels in the peel colour.
I didn’t bother stuffing them (all those yarn tails made for pretty
good stuffing!), but feel free to do so if you want them to be a bit
more cushiony!
Close with a slst to first st and tie off. Poke the yarn tails back
inside the piece. Add a keyring.
That’s it! Enjoy!
