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!

My 11 year old boy made these cool hanging felt shamrocks for our window. (He wanted me to make sure that you know he was VERY bored and needed something to do and he got to use the sewing machine ---stressing the MACHINE part, so it was all good)
We took two layers of felt and cut out a shamrock shape. My crafty boy used a sewing machine to beautifully stitch the layers together and also stiched in a ribbon at the top. He added a few beads on the ribbon and now they our hanging in our window---hopefully bringing us lots of luck! If you need some luck, here are the shamrock shapes we used.
