   Honestly, irritating how it came with everything but the leaf pattern and you had to make a donation

     I’m sorry you feel that way! I always like to add bonuses if I can, to thank people who choose to support me in my career and pay me for my work. But if you’re not in a position to donate a couple of dollars for the nicely-formatted printable PDF version that includes the bonus content, you’re very welcome to use this online version for free 🙂

   This is a really great set of patterns. I have a Chevy Aveo I like to call ‘The Lemon’ as a joke because of the amount of parts I’ve put into it, (I bought it cheap because it had a blown head gasket, and my brother, a mechanic, put a complete new engine in it and replaced a swollen rubber seal that caused the blown gasket, and then the ignition coil when that went. It’ll need rust repair done sooner rather than later, (yay, Canadian winters…) I bought a new battery a couple weeks ago after the old one froze, (again, yay winter,) and now the driver’s side mirror has mysteriously cracked. On top of all this, the check engine light comes on and goes out at random, (I figure it’s the gas cap, it’s been bratty about that before,) and it takes an unusually long time to start up, (everyone tells me the starter’s going, but again, just bratty, Aveos have attitude problems,)) and I thought it would be funny to make lemon keychain charms for the keys and a matching rearview mirror charm. Your pattern worked up in embroidery floss with a 2mm makes a perfectly sized keychain charm.

     Sabrina, please look for the ‘Terminology’ section at the top of each of my patterns – it explains all the abbreviations I use in that pattern, in both US and UK terminology 🙂

   Dear June,
   I love your citrus fruit. Every one of them is so adorable! I’d like to make a lemon first – but with a leaf attached. Do you by any chance have a leaf tutorial?
   Thanks in advance!

     I don’t have a citrus leaf pattern, but if you just want a small leaf, you could try the leaf from my Posy Blossoms pattern 🙂

   Hello;
   I love the fruit idea. I’m a crochet novice who fell in love with Amigurumi animals. But I can’t decide if there’s a book easy enough for me with critters I like. I’m thinking the fruit would be a good way to learn some of the basics without spending a lot on something that I might not use.
   I would appreciate some guidance. … Hope you’re still monitoring this page.
   Thank you!
   Harriet

     Yep, I used Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice Baby in ‘Duckie’. (As that’s a heavy worsted yarn, so a bit thicker than the yarns I used for the rest of the citrus collection, I also had to drop a hook size to keep my grapefruit to scale with the other fruit.)

       The grapefruit looks orangish but the duckie yarn is yellow. Am I missing something?

         Yes, the ‘blushed effect’ instructions (to make it into a pink grapefruit) are given at the end of the pattern.

    Why isn’t my orange or lemon coming out right? I have a stitch marker in place and my counted single crochets are not at the accurate place ending way before stitch marker. I am frustrated seeing I have taken them both apart several time trying to straitening out.

      It’s hard to tell what you’re doing wrong without seeing your work, Jody, but it sounds like you must have misunderstood the pattern, as you should always have worked back around to the stitch marker at the end of every round – that’s the clue to know if you’ve followed the pattern correctly for that round. I suggest you pay close attention to the brackets (…) and make sure you work every stitch contained within them before you move on to the next repeat of those stitches, and then make sure you’ve worked the repeat the correct number of times by the end of the round. You should never move onto the next round if you haven’t reached the stitch marker in the previous round: the error will just get worse and worse with each round, and you might end up with a banana shape instead of a lemon!

    My granddaughter now has a baby and she asked me if I could crochet “food” for play – she wants to avoid plastic toys as much as possible. I stumbled onto your site and will add you to my favorites. These look EASY and I hope my great-granddaughter Saige will enjoy them for years to come. Now, ALL I have to do is actually make them ;,) – I tend to collect patterns and yarn in my “I will do this some day” pile. Thank you for sharing your free pattern.

      Yes, Kathy, and just check the ‘Terminology’ section at the top of every PlanetJune pattern – I always give the UK equivalent for every crochet stitch that’s differently named 🙂

    I CAN NOT DO IT BECAUSE I DON’T UNDERSTAND; PLEASE I CAN EXPLAIN THIS? AS I DO THIS?

      Just look at the 3 pictures below that paragraph, Neri: the left picture shows Rnd 1 sticking up, and the right picture shows it after you’ve pushed it in. You don’t even need the words, really – just follow the pictures (or leave it sticking up if you prefer) 🙂

    Hi June!

    The fruits turn out to be really lovely, especially the ‘blushing’ one =D
    I’d really like to crochet them, but I’m having a hard time following the pattern instruction. Do you by any chance have the diagram-type pattern instead of the written instruction one?

    Thanks

    What a surprise 🙂 A very clever and summer-like idea. I especially like how you made the green stems – really very ingenious 🙂
