Hello Rachel –
This was really fun to make. My in-laws have alot of Irish in them and I’m going to make them some cute magnets. Thanks for the pattern!
Hi Nicole!
That is awsome! I hope they love it!
What a fun site, I’m loving your projects! Thanks so much for sharing this, I’ll be linking later tonight. Now to explore the rest of your patterns…
Thanks Rachel! I hope you enjoy them all
I made several clovers for my family members to wear on St. Patrick’s Day. Everyone thought they were really cute! The pattern was really easy too! Another great pattern! Thanks!
Cool Mel! I’m glad that your family likes them! It must have been really cute with everyone walking around wearing a crocheted clover!!!
Hi Rachel,
Have you felted this clover? I want to make a felted purse for my daughter’s 4-H leader and thought I’d add this as an emblishment. It looks really easy to crochet, lucky for me as I just learned how to crochet, I’ve been a die-hard knitter for many years. Thanks for the great pattern.

Hi Aimee!
I haven’t tried felting it. But I bet it would turn out awesome if you did. Let me know how it goes. The cloves would make a great embellishment!
dear rachel, i have trouble with joining all the pieces… could you help me, because… the joining seems bad… i mean the clover is not stiff…
Thanks
Hey Shyg!
when I joined mine I sewed the bottom corner of all the leaves together and a small part of the edges that are close to the center. The more of the edges you sew together the less flimsy your clover will be. But be sure to not sew too much of edges together or else the clove might look like a bowl. It also may be easier to sew one leaf on at a time.
Also, I used a pretty small hook to make the clover more stiff, if you used a bigger hook that might be why it’s not that stiff.
I hope that helps some!
thank you so much for the st. patrick’s day pattern for me. I really appreciate. I read the directions and will take no time at all. I am also looking for Santa crochet hats. Of course any St. patrick’s day hats, there has been some with the tam, i like that, but most of them are missing the front piece like a baseball cap.
thanks for all your time and efforts.
Hey Donna, here is the Santa hat pattern: Crochet Pattern: Santa Claus Hat – 5 Sizes I’ll be sure to add the St. Patrick’s day hat to the list of patterns to make!
