I am hoping to post every day this month some sort of
crocheted goodness that I love. Some days it will be things I have
already made. Other days it will be something I have recently learned to
make. Here is today's newly learned craft: my own cute little
shamrocks.
Being an Irish-American gal, I love the color green, the
land of my ancestors, and its national symbol, the shamrock. Did you
know that the word shamrock comes from the Irish word seamróg? This
means "little clover" and it was what St. Patrick used to teach
people about the Trinity.
I learned how to make these little beauties from Kim Layton
on the Everything Etsy website. She includes written instructions as well
as a video teaching you how to make the sweet little shamrocks. Take a
look here.
I used Vanna's Choice by Lion Brand in fern,
kelly green, and lime.
I have plans to make garlands and decorate my home and
classroom with these fun decorations.
It's never too early to start planning for St. Patrick's
Day!
