✍️ Pattern Overview & Step-by-Step Instructions

This Crochet Lemon Hair Clip Pattern is designed with layers and textured stitches to mimic a fresh lemon slice:

Step 1: Create the Center Core

• Start with a magic ring or chain 4 and join to form a loop.

• Work single crochet stitches into the ring to form a tight center.

Step 2: Crochet the Lemon Segments

• Work multiple rounds alternating between double crochet and single crochet to build the lemon “slices.”

• Use stitch increases to shape the circular segments.

• Include color changes or surface crochet details to mimic the lemon texture.

Step 3: Finish the Edges

• Crochet a round of slip stitches or single crochet for a clean edge.

• Optional: add picot or decorative edging for extra detail.

Step 4: Assemble and Attach

• Sew a piece of beige cloth on the back of the lemon to protect hair and secure the clip.

• Attach the crochet lemon firmly to the metal hair clip using needle and thread.
