Watermelon Baby Cocoon Crochet Pattern
Danyel Pink / Ravelry
Here's one that is just for babies—a cute baby cocoon to make your little one look like a summery treat. This is perfect for a summer photo prop or just for keeping baby cozy on cool summer evenings.
Many watermelon crochet patterns use beads for the seeds. However, this one uses a yarn stitched embroidery-style to create the seeds. This style is safer for babies than beads are, which makes it a smart design choice.

Watermelon Crochet Coasters Pattern
This is one of those small crochet patterns that packs a big punch. The coasters are simple circles, but the color choices are right on point. The round of white between the rind and the fruit color gives it a polished look.
Use these crochet coasters at any summer party. You could even make watermelon punch to go along with your watermelon coasters.
Work the same crochet pattern using larger yarn and hook (perhaps even multi-stranded yarn) and you could create a set of placemats to match the coasters.
