Shamrock Pillow
FEBRUARY 25, 2021
Just in time for St. Patty's Day! This corner to corner (C2C) Shamrock Pillow pattern would make a great addition to your home decor. You can change the colors to customize for your style. I hope you like my pattern!
Fun fact: Shamrocks only have three leaves☘️. Traditionally, shamrocks have been used as a symbol of Ireland. To be considered a shamrock, a clover must have three leaves. A clover with more or less than 3 leaves is not a shamrock. All shamrocks are clovers, but not all clovers are shamrocks.

After you finish the last square you are going to continue crocheting around the border.
Border: ch 1, in the side of each square you will make 2 sc and in each corner you will sc-ch 2-sc.
Pillow Back
I used Dusty Grey for the pillow back.
Make a back using the same pattern as the front of the pillow but without the color changes.
Lay your pillow covers with the WRONG sides facing each other. The RIGHT sides will both be facing outward. Using your tapestry needle and Minty yarn, sew the covers together through the single crochet borders. After you have sewn three of the four sides together, stuff with a pillow insert or Poly Fil. Sew the last side.
You are done! I hope you enjoyed this pattern. Tag me on Instagram (@lovable_loops) or Facebook to share your pictures with me.
