MY SHAMROCK PIN PATTERN

St. Patrick’s Day party favors? I wanted a little something to look like St. Patrick’s Day for a potluck on the 16th. I looked at every free pattern for shamrocks that Google found. But none were exactly what I had in mind. Don’t you just hate that? But isn’t it the way it always is? So in a whole lot less time than I spent looking for a pattern, I came up with 15 of these. Luckily I had a partial skein of a St Patty’s like green and didn’t have to make a Wal-Mart run.

MY SHAMROCK PIN

Materials and supplies:

Crochet hook size J
Small amount green worsted weight yarn
Pin back
Hot glue and hot glue gun





Pin:

Chain 3, join with a slip stitch in first chain to form a ring.

Petal (make 3): Chain 3, trc, dc, trc, ch 3, slip stitch in ring.

Stem: Chain 4, sc in 2nd chain from hook, and slipstitch in remaining two chains. Fasten off.

Weave in ends.

Lay right side down on heat proof surface. Hot glue pin back to petal opposite the stem.

I just had a lot of fun making two of these now on my day off. I'm going to wear one, and give the other to a friend. I used some light green baby sport and one strand dark green thread so it shows up on anything. Thank you so much for sharing!
