So when St. Patrick's Day rolls around I'm usually scrambling to find something to wear. I usually have to settle for an article of clothing that is much more teal than kelly green or something green I've literally only kept around to wear once a year. Sometimes, however, I end up just tying a green ribbon in my hair.\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nI wanted to be prepared this year. One thing I do happen to have in green is yarn, so I decided to start from there. Instead of just a scarf or hat, I wanted something specifically festive for St. Patrick's Day.

The \"grass\" usually seemed to be only 50% lawn, and the rest was weeds and dry patches. One of these weeds was the clover. My friends and I spent seemingly hours trying to find that elusive four-leaf among vast amounts of three-leaf clovers. Guess what? It never happened. \n\n\u003cBR\u003e\u003cBR\u003eWe then turned to cheating, and would carefully pull a leaflet and part of the stem off of a clover, and then hold it place on a three-leaf clover. Instant four-leaf clover! While it was momentarily satisfying that we got to trick our classmates, it wasn't as satisfying as finding a genuine one would have been.\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nLuck really isn't on your side when trying to find that lucky four-leaf clover.

I found a 3-pack of little clay pots at the Dollar Tree and was inspired to make some little clover pots. \n\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nI didn't want to make a bunch of four-leaf clovers that, as my childhood taught me, are extremely difficult to find. So I made two potted shamrocks and one potted four-leaf clover.

Many patterns just crochet hearts and attached them together, but that seemed more work than I wanted to do. I finally found a pattern that I liked from \u003ca href\u003d\"http://www.bhookedcrochet.com/2015/02/15/crochet-four-leaf-clover/\" target\u003d\"_blank\" rel\u003d\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eb.hooked crochet\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/a\u003e and worked it up. However, it turned out bigger than I wanted. Plus, it was for a four-leaf clover and I wanted to make some three-leaf clovers. So I adapted that the pattern to make it on a smaller scale that can be easily adjusted to be three or four leaves, depending on your preference, by starting with it a magic ring. I like how it turned out.
