Well hey!
My Easiest Crochet Heart Pattern Ever! was such a hit, I decided to do the same for clovers for St. Patrick’s Day. They’re all about spring and being Irish, both of which I’m a big fan of. And they are super easy, of which I’m a really big fan of.
You can use as appliques for any project, but what they really come in handy for is pinning on yourself or your loved ones if God forbid one of you forgets to wear green on St. Patrick’s Day. There’s always that one annoying person who christen themselves as the Pinch Police on that day to punish all the non-green-wearing heathens. Be prepared!
I’ve included step-by-step pictures below the pattern.
Materials:
Size I (5.50mm) crochet hook
Scissors
Tapestry or yarn needle
Red Heart Super Saver Yarn or any 10-ply worsted weight yarn
Abbreviations:
sl st = slip stitch
ch = chain
sc = single crochet
hdc = half double crochet
dc = double crochet
trc = treble crochet st(s) = stitch(es)
Directions:
ch 5; join with sl st to form a loop.
ch 11 out from loop; turn.
sl st 1 in each chain st back towards loop.
sl st 1 in loop.
Round 1:
ch 3; dc 7 in loop, stepping last dc over the top of the stem, join with sl st.
Round 2:
ch 3; 2 trc, 1sc, 2 trc, 1 dc in space under same st.
sl st in space under next st.
*ch 3; 2 trc, 1sc, 2 trc, 1 dc in space under next st.
sl st in space under next st.*- do between * 3 times.
Cut yarn, tie off and weave in ends.
Here’s the step-by-step breakdown. The pictures show the pattern being worked from left to right because I am left handed. This pattern is symmetrical, so it can be worked either left to right or right to left and achieve the same results.
ch 5; join with sl st to form a loop.
ch 11 out from loop; turn.
sl st 1 in each chain st back towards loop. sl st 1 in loop.
ch 3; dc 7 in loop, stepping last dc over the top of the stem, join with sl st.
ch 3; 2 trc, 1sc, 2 trc, 1 dc under** same st. sl st under next st.
*ch 3; 2 trc, 1sc, 2 trc, 1 dc under next st. sl st under next st.*- do between * 3 times.
All done! Wasn’t that easy like I promised?
Let me know what you think, if it was (or wasn’t!) as easy as I promised, or if you need some help with it.
Have fun!

Please help… Wat do u mean by “under” am I putting my hook through a st. Or I’m a lil confused…I love the pattern its jus I’m new n need help with learning that stitch
Hi kitt! Let me see if I can help.
This is not a “stitch” as you call it so I don’t want to confuse you more when I try to explain it. You are still making the stitches as you normally would. The only difference is when you work the the stitches in round 2, instead of grabbing and working into the stitches from round 1, you are reaching completely under the stitches from round 1, in the space between the stitch and the loop you formed to work round 1.
Does that make sense? If not, let me know and I’ll try to explain it further.
Just so you know, if you don’t get the “under” part, it will still turn out working the stitches as you know how; it’s just the holes in the clover will not look like the ones you see in the pictures.
I hope that helps!
