This beginner's crochet pattern was made to match our Four Leaf Clover pattern; both can be made very quickly with just a scrap of green yarn.

Add a safety pin or pin back to attach the shamrock to a hat or lapel for St. Patrick's Day, or use crochet cotton and a smaller hook to make a smaller shamrock suitable for decorating a greeting card.
