Watch a video tutorial on how to crochet a One Round Crochet Shamrock:

Supplies:

• H (5.0 mm) crochet hook 
• Worsted weight acrylic yarn in shades of green (I used two different types of yarn for the shamrocks shown, the darker green is Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice in “Kelly Green” and the lighter shamrock is crocheted in Red Heart Super Saver in “Spring Green”)
• Tapestry needle 
• Scissors

Sizing:

• Shamrocks shown are 1.5 inches wide and 2 inches tall from top to bottom of stem.

Note: Experiment with different hooks and/or yarn for a variety of different sizes.

Abbreviations: 

• ch: Chain 
• sl st: Slip Stitch 
• dc: Double Crochet 

Instructions:

• Chain 4 and join with a slip stitch to form a ring.
  
• Round 1 (all stitches worked into the center of the ring): work (4 dc, sl st) into the center of the ring.  
  
• Repeat two more times for a total of three “leaves”
  
• Chain 4, then in the second ch from the hook work one sc.  Work a sc in each of the next two chains, then work a sl st into the center of the ring to finish off the stem.
• Join to close shamrock with a sl st and fasten off.

Finishing:

• Weave in the ends and you’re all finished!  Because they are so small, you may need to shape them with your hands a bit.
