I used Suzie’s Crochet Shamrock Garland for the basic pattern. Suzie even has a pattern to make it into a shamrock pin.

My changes are in green.

Materials:

Crochet hook size J
Small amount of worsted weight yarn

    Annie is interested in making this. Can a first timer follow the directions and be able to make it or do you have to have some experience with crocheting?

    People have mentioned making garland out of My Shamrock Pin. This is how I did that. Definitely not the only way, but positive an simple way.
