A beautiful symbol of faith, hope, and love, the (three-leaf) shamrock has long been associated with Ireland and St. Patrick.
Stitched in continuous rounds of single crochet, the parts of this pattern are joined as you go to create one single plush piece with no assembly required.
Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day every day of the year with the No-Sew Crochet Plush Shamrock!
