What I Love About the Clover Shaped Cloth
This pattern features one of the most classic crochet stitch patterns – the granny stitch! And I love that it features the versatility of crochet – you can make any shape, anything you can dream of. Finally, March isn’t just National Crochet Month – and St. Patrick’s Day has always been one of my favorite holidays. Crochet has a special place in Irish history, and being a bit Irish myself… well it all comes full circle!
You might have noticed that this pattern pairs nicely with theHeart Shaped Cloth! Like that pattern, the Clover Shaped Cloth can be made in any yarn. Lily Sugar’n Cream, shown here, is perfect for the kitchen and bath. And it makes a great applique for a tote or tee! Switch things up and make it withAunt Lydia’sfor a quick pin to make sure you’re wearing the green, or make it inBernat Blanket Extra Thickfor a festive and bold statement piece or wall hanging!
