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.

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!

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.

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.

  1. 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. 🙂

  2. Great video! Thanks for sharing this! I think these would make a really cute garland or mobile type hanging decoration!

  4. These are so cute! My daughter wants to start learning how to crochet- what a great project to start with! Thanks for the tutorial and for linking up at Wordless Wednesday! xoxo

  8. How adorable! (and I never would have figured a pattern out on my own). Thanks for sharing at the This Is How We Roll Link Party on Organized 31.

  9. These are great! Thanks for sharing, I’m going to use your tutorial to make some for a St. Patrick’s Day garland I’m working on. Have a great weekend!

  10. These are too cute! My daughter and I will have so much fun trying to make these! thank you

  11. I have always wanted to learn how to crochet but somehow I never got the hang of it. This are too cute. Thank you for linking up this week @ #HomeMattersParty. Looking forward to seeing what you post next week,

  12. Such a cute little Shamrock! I was thinking about some small shamrocks, and going to start my look for a pattern here soon but while linky party attending, I found this one.

  13. Such an easy to follow pattern! I used the shamrock to make a cute headband for my niece.

    Thanks for the inspiration!

  14. This is so great! It seems simple enough (even for a beginner like me). I would love if you shared this at Totally Terrific Tuesday that goes live tonight at 9pm CST. I hope to see you there and see what else you got!

  18. Thank you for linking up this week at the Pure Blog Love Link Party! The party is live now at Homemade Food Junkie.

    We would love to have you join us!

  19. I am working up a bunch of these! I think I am going to make a garland… We’ll see. hehe. Thank you! You rock!

  20. I think this is the best shamrock pattern that I’ve seen! I love it! Thank you for sharing it at the Yarn Fanatic Party! This is going to be one of my features! (Look for it on Facebook tomorrow!) I hope to “see” you at the party again!

  24. 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?

    • 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.

  25. I found your website while on Pinterest looking for a Shamrock pattern. I have also made the shell headband. I intend to spend more time looking through your website.

  26. Thank you for your crochet shamrock video. It was easy enough even I could do it. I love my shamrock!

  27. Devon, this is great! Just the right size for a pin to wear, small enough for garland or attach to a barrette for hair wear. Thanks so much! I signed up for your newsletter.
