GET YOUR LUCKY CHARM CARD PRINTOUTS!

If you want to have some pre-made, printer-friendly lucky charm cards... I have several available for a small price on my Etsy shop.   

More Details on Lucky Charm Cards:

1. I have five different lucky charm cards available for purchase.

2. I made these cards big enough to fit each four-leaf clover (shamrock).

3. Use cardstock paper for the best results, or laminate the cards instead.

4. I use a little scotch tape to hold the crocheted shamrock in place. Or you can use a bar pin to poke holes through the card. Check out my video to see how I attach my crocheted shamrock to my card.

5. There is a little space at the bottom of each card/saying for you to sign your name if you like.

6. The cards are 5 1/4 inches tall and 3 1/4 inches wide.

Lucky Shamrock Crochet Pattern

With the color green, make a magic ring.

For the Clover Leaves: (ch 4, 3 tr, sc, sl st) repeat this stitch pattern 3 more times into the magic ring. This will make four leaves on the shamrock.

For the Stem: pull the magic ring mostly closed, ch 5, sc in 2nd ch from the hook, sc in next 4 sc, sl st into the slightly opened hole in the magic ring.

Pull the ring tightly closed.

Fasten off, leaving about 6 inches on the tail end. 

Weave the magic ring's opening closed with the tail end of the yarn. Cut the remaining tail end.

Use some green thread and a thread needle to sew the bar pin onto the back of the four-leaf clover. 

Optional: attach the bar pin to one of the lucky charm cards or use a piece of scotch tape.

WHY USE A MAGIC RING?

A magic ring is one of the best ways to begin when you plan on crocheting in the round. A magic ring is also called an adjustable loop.  The advantage of using a magic ring is that there is no hole left in the middle of your crochet project.

HOW TO MAKE A MAGIC RING?

Start with the yarn crossed to form a circle

1. Draw up a loop with your hook but don't pull it tight

2. Hold the circle with your index finger and thumb, and wrap the working yarn over your middle finger

3. Make one chain stitch by wrapping the yarn over the hook and pulling it through the loop on your hook

4. Now insert your hook into the loop and underneath the tail. Wrap the yarn over the hook and draw up a loop

5. Wrap the yarn over the hook again and draw it through both loops on your hook

6. You have now completed your first single crochet

7. Continue to crochet until you have the required number of stitches as mentioned in the pattern. Now grab the yarn tail and pull to draw the center of the ring tightly closed

8. You can now begin your second round by crocheting into the first stitch of the first round. You can use a stitch marker to remember where you started.
