Crochet Shamrock Pattern

St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner and I thought I would try and figure out how to make a crochet shamrock. I slightly modified a flower pattern and after several tries, I finally got it.

Crochet Shamrock Pattern

Aren’t they just cute! These are really easy to make. You can make one in just a couple of minutes.

These shamrocks are a great size for using them in several projects you may have in mind.

They would make great pins if you don’t have anything else to wear that is green on St. Patrick’s Day.

I recently used this pattern to make a Shamrock Coffee Cup Cozy!

Crochet Shamrock Pattern

After making one shamrock, my son asked me to make a garland like I did for Valentine’s Day. So I made several of these shamrocks and strung them on some yarn to hang on our mantle. I just threaded the yarn around the double crochet in the top of the shamrock. See photo below for threading your shamrocks.

Crochet Shamrock for Garland

What you will need:

  • Worsted Weight Yarn – I used Red Heart Paddy Green
  • H Crochet Hook
  • Scissors
  • Yarn Needle

How To Crochet a Shamrock:

Chain 4, Slip Stitch into your first chain.

*Chain 4. Triple Crochet; Double Crochet; Triple Crochet all into the center of the circle. Chain 4, Slip Stitch into the center.* This makes one petal. Repeat from * to * for a total of 3 petals.

Chain 7. Half Double Crochet into the 3rd chain from  your hook. Slip Stitch into the remaining chains. Add a final slip stitch into the center of the shamrock.

Cut your yarn and weave in your end.

As you can see they really are very simple to make.

    I’ve been trying to teach myself how to crochet! This might a good “starter” thing for me to try!

      These are great. I am trying to make little holiday crochet items to for the holidays of my grandson’s first year to be Christmas ornaments for him. Thanks for your simple design. I used a “magic circle” instead of the first chain four.

        That is a great idea! I made this pattern before I learned the “magic circle”….or I should say, still trying to master. :)

    I’ve tried a few times, but my center hole ends up big (like a dime-size space), not tight like in the picture. What am I doing wrong?

      March 15, 2016 at 7:32 pm

      Your chains may be bigger than mine, everyone crochets just a bit differently. Try either chaining tighter or cut out a chain or two to make the space smaller. Hope that helps out. Let me know.

    Thank goodness you have this pattern for the shamrock. Years ago I had a pattern for and afghan. You started with a shamrock, on the back of the shamrock I remember crocheting a circle and growing it to one row beyond the size of the shamrock, then change the circle to a filled in Granny square. I only made one and then gave it away to a charity raffle. My computer crashed and I lost the pattern. I am going to try to duplicate it from a picture that isn’t that great, But I have looked and Looked and cannot find that pattern anywhere. My have a new grandbaby due March 15th and I figure that’s close enough to St Pat’s. I really want to do this for the new wee one. I have two pictures a full one and the corner.
