Lemons are very trendy right now, everywhere you look in the stores there are lemons. Of course I can’t stay behind and need a lemon accessory as well ;-). So that’s when I decided to crochet a lemon keychain for my bike keys. A crochet keychain also has the great advantage that I can find it easily in my bag. The bright yellow color of this lemon also helps with that, of course.
