If your little girl needs a bit o' green tomorrow it is not too late to make this little hair clip. It is based on this crochet pattern by Suzie----so I am hoping it works for you if you give it a go. It only takes a few minutes.
I used a size 4 crochet needle and embroidery floss (all 6 threads).
Chain 6, dc in 2nd chain from hook and then slip-stitch in remaining 4 chains (this makes the stem), chain 3 and join with a slip-stitch in the 3rd chain from hook to form a ring. For petal *chain 3 turn (only turn the first time), trc , dc , trc , chain 3 and slip-stitch in ring*. Repeat between * two more times so you have 3 petals. Fasten off and weave in the ends. Sew your lucky shamrock to a bobby pin or hair clip.
Now this little girl can tell her big brothers NO PINCHING!
Thanks for taking the time to visit me today!
Hey Girl, I’ve been reading your blog for awhile now, and I recently started a blog of my own. I added a link to your page, and I was just making sure it was fine with you.

This is darling! Thx for sharing!
Now I wish I could crochet. I really, really, do.
That’s a really cute idea! I’ve never crocheted with embroidery floss but it looks like it works well. I wonder if it splits more than regular yarn.
Thanks for the pattern!
I really wanted to make that, but saw it was crochet! I don’t know how to do that… only knit. Maybe you could figure out how to convert it to a knit pattern? It’s so cute!
THIS IS adorable, your blog is so colorful and pretty LOVE IT!

Argh!
I tried this and it just turned out terrible! lol
then I tried again just kinda modifying the pattern and nope, no go. Just doesn’t look as neat as yours. Although I think if I downsize my hook + thread it might work better.
I still bookmarked this though
