Shamrock Door Hanger


I made this about 10 years ago, and I'm trying to decipher my notes. I'm not the neatest writer!

Make six, stitch 2 together; stuff and sew in sets of three to make a shamrock. Make a tail for the stem.

Size: One Size, 23 cm /9 inches in tall [from end from stem to top] x 9 inches wide. Each "heart" shape is 10 cm /4 inches high. Stem is 13cm /5 inches.

Materials:
1 ball 50 gm green worsted weight yarn
Hook - Size 4.00 mm
Large-Eye Blunt Needle
Bow for center of shamrock

GAUGE: not important. I tend to crochet tight, so gauge may vary.

Shamrock [pieces are shaped like hearts, and are made like hearts, starting at the point.]

Row 1: Work 2 sc in sc, ch1, turn.
Rows 2-13: 2 Sc into first sc, sc into each sc across until 1 sc remains, 2 sc into last sc, ch1, turn - 24 sts at end of Row 13.
