Crochet Watermelon Garland

I made this cute crochet Watermelon garland to decorate the kitchen with my favorite summertime fruit. I wish consistently selecting a good watermelon from a large box of them at the grocery store were as easy as crocheting this fun item!

Yarn I used:

For this garland I used Sugar’n Cream weight #4 cotton yarn.

Sugar’n Cream yarn are available on Lovecraft website, also on Amazon.

Other Materials:

Crochet hook size H-8/5 mm
Sticky-back googly eyes (optional)
Craft clothespins
Black embroidery floss to embroider the mouth

Instructions:

Make Watermelon slices. For my garland I’ve made a total of five slices – three red ones and two pink. To make your garland fun, you can add eyes and smile to watermelons as I did.

You can always make your garland shorter or longer and adjust the number of pieces as needed.

The pattern I used:

A free pattern is available on this website: Crochet Watermelon coaster or applique

The pattern for this crochet Watermelon is also available as a print-friendly, styled and advertisement-free PDF file. You can get it from my Etsy Shop.

2. Block all the pieces as necessary.

3. Making a garland.

You have a couple of options on how to make the garland. One option is to crochet a chain and join each piece to the chain with single crochet evenly.

You can also crochet a chain first and then carefully sew each piece to the string, or you can use small 1 inch crafts clothespins to hang pieces as I did.

The length of the chain depends on how long you want your garland to be. My chain is about 55” long. Leave on each end about 5-7 inches for tying the garland, then arrange the pieces.

I hope you enjoyed this fun crochet Watermelon garland idea!

Happy Crocheting!
