St. Patrick's Day Crochet Pattern #1 - Itty Bitty Shamrock: This is a tiny little shamrock that could be used as applique on a St. Patrick's Day afghan, purse, pillow, etc. It could also be turned into a refrigerator magnet if you just hot glue a tiny magnet to the back of it. The instructions give you both a 3 leaf and 4 leaf version. You will be able to crochet a bunch of these shamrocks very quickly.
