i created a pattern!

i wanted to make something with a shamrock. so i looked for patterns on how to create one. here r the 2 i chose:

bhookedcrochet.com

the pattern and video were very easy to follow.

this one is from bag-o-day crochet and more.

a bigger/taller leaf that is easy to do. the video was easily understood. however, i could not find the written pattern. i may write it out one day if no other can be found.

and finally my idea that combined the two patterns above.

i created my own shamrock with a square. i wish i had more green to make more squares and put up pics in the pattern. but alas, yarn is not, and this is my only square for the time being.

please leave a comment if u make this piece. would love to see how yours turns out.

in Christ,

Sandi
