Too cute... love the Shamrock.
Doesn't a shamrock have 4 petals?
Hi "anonymous",
I think a shamrock could be like a lucky 4 leaf clover, I searched on Wikipedia and it shows a 3 leaf shamrock, but I think it should be 4.
I'll whip up another shamrock with 4 petals. Thanks!
Most shamrocks/clovers have 3.The 3leaf one has a special meaning as well each leaf stand for Father Son Holy Spirit.So I think I prefer the 3 leaf.
I think both are cute and thank you for sharing your patterns.
These are great little clovers that can be stitched to a pony tail holder for added decoration. I use the tail string, sewing it around an "ouchless" goody pony tail holder. Makes a great St. Patrick's gift for my granddaughters.
FYI: Shamrocks and regular clovers have three leafs, lucky clovers have four.
Thank you for both patterns, they are super cute! I'm making one for my daughter to wear in her hair for St. Patrick's Day tomorrow. I think I'll make one for my little boy to pin on his shirt too.
Very cute, thank you for the pattern!
A Shamrock has only 3 leaves, a clover has 4. a clover is just for luck but a shamrock is for Ireland and St Patrick. a clover and a shamrock are Not the same.(trust me I'm Irish!).love the pattern,thanks
