How to knit pico we have already taken apart. But today we have to analyze one more, rather complicated version of how to knit pico.

We have already considered two options for how to knit pico. Their meaning was the same, but the difference was in the closure method, i.e. connections. In we considered the closure with the help of a connecting column, and with the help of a single crochet. The first option can be used for solid knitting, and for the second you need to make a pass in one loop.

The option considered today is partly a hybrid of the two previously studied pico knitting methods. We will connect as in the first case, but from the second we will take a pass in one loop.

How to knit pico shamrock

How to knit this pico? So weird and weird! 🙂

We will look at how to knit a pico shamrock step by step. I hope there will be no questions left, but I want to note right away that the knitting of this particular pico is painstaking and deserves constant attention, if you gape somewhere, it can go completely differently and not please with your appearance.

Oops, I must have freaked out! 🙂 It's not scary, just be careful!

8. We pick up again two loops on the hook, the loop of the previous pico and the loop at the top of the column

Thank you for your attention!

The use of pico trefoil in the border is considered in the lesson:

Crochet fans rightly consider Irish lace to be one of the most advanced techniques. According to the complexity of execution, this ancient knitting technique can easily be elevated to the level of art. Small, openwork elements, smooth and voluminous motifs, collected in amazing patterns, various textures and colors allow you to create a lace fabric that is simply unique in its beauty, which cannot leave anyone indifferent.

Knitting technique

Classic elements of Irish lace:

• simple sheet,
• round sheet,
• sheet with a central vein,
• sheet with an openwork window,
• dense shamrock,
• rose with three rows of voluminous petals,
• bunch of grapes.

When working with elements of Irish lace, it is customary to use a consistent knitting technique. First, separate motifs (patterns) are knitted, then they are laid out on a sketch or pattern, and combined together with a lattice or brids.

There are several options for connecting lace motifs. The most popular is the connection of motifs with a grid. It is performed quite simply - the finished elements are laid out on the diagram, and the space between them is knitted with a grid.

Sometimes, when connecting motifs of different sizes, “voids” of various shapes can form that cannot be filled with grids of regular types (fillet or honeycomb grid), in this case, they resort to using an irregular grid that smoothly wraps around the elements.

The reverse option of collecting lace is also possible. First, an openwork fabric or a mesh base is knitted, and then motifs are attached to it. You can also take ordinary tulle as a basis and sew elements on it.

In addition, lace motifs can be collected sequentially, tying them to each other in the process. Most often, small products from homogeneous elements are assembled in this way, because it is quite difficult to assemble a whole canvas in this way.

But you can sew an openwork fabric if you take tight-fitting motifs and sew them with a needle and sufficiently long untucked tips of the motifs.

Motives and schemes

When working in the technique of Irish lace, schemes, as such, are necessary only for copying author's works, because the technique is largely free and does not require compliance with strict limits.

Use the examples of motifs and schemes below to create your own works of authorship.

Creating a lace element

To work, you will need a crochet hook and white threads of suitable thickness.

In the course of work, we will use abbreviations:

• vp - air loop;
• p / p - half loop;
• st.s / n - double crochet;
• st.b / n - single crochet.

First, let's create the base for the motif ring. To do this, wrap the thread in several turns around your finger.

The resulting ring of threads should be tied with single crochets. Then form 1 ch lift and continue to recruit st.b / n. Your task is to place 35 st.b / n in the ring.

Please note that on the wrong side of the product, characteristic free p / p should remain. They will start the next row.

Check out the photos. It should turn out as in the photo. Form a chain of 5 ch.

Attach this chain to the ring for free p / p to the 3rd st.b / n in a row. Get a kind of arch.

Similarly, tie four more of the same arches. In the last, sixth arch, dial only 3 ch and attach it to the ring of st.s / n.

Expand the knitting and, on top of the already connected arches, make four more arches of 5 ch each, and the last arch of 3 ch and 1 st.s / n.

On the next level, make six arches again. To do this, fasten the first chain of 5 ch into the extreme arch of the previous row.

Behind it, knit four more arches of 5 ch.

Run the sixth arch from 2 ch and 1 st.s / n.

At the fourth level, you need to tie 5 arches again. The last one will be from 2 ch and st.s / n.

Fifth level. The first arch - 3 ch. The next two arches are 5 ch each and the last arch is 2 ch and st.s / n.

Sixth level. The first arch - 4 ch, the second - 5 ch, the third - 1 ch and st.s / n.

Seventh level. The first arch is 5 ch, and the second is 2 ch and st.s / n.

Eighth level. Finish the central part of the motive with an arch of 10 ch and cut the thread.

Take a new thread and make 1 ch for the rise, attaching it to the base of the very first arch of 5 ch.

Then tie all the extreme arches with single crochets. At the highest point of the arch of 10 ch between the columns, you need to make 1 ch. To make it clearer, tie according to this scheme: 31 st.b / n, 1 ch, 32 st.b / n. Count on one side of the lift, as the first st.b / n.

Now move on to the ring. It should be tied behind the p / p located on the back side, returning to the fastening of the second thread.

St. b / n we pass the entire next row. Only through the left VP at the highest point of the element will it be necessary to knit 3 st.b / n, thereby making an increase.

Having reached the edge of the mesh opposite to the fastening of the second thread, you should start knitting back with a “crustacean step”.

Knit the “crustace step” for the front half loops to the place where the thread is attached.

When 7 loops remain to the crown, form 3 ch lifts, and knit 26 st.s / n. Consider the crown as the eighth loop.

In each loop, tie 6 st.b / n, then 2 st.b / n in one loop. 1 st.b / n and symmetrically in the other direction - 2 st.b / n from one loop, 6 st.b / n.

Then go through 28 st.s / n.

Now you can move on to tying the ring. To do this, form 2 st.s / n from one loop.

2 st.s / n from each loop of the previous row, 9 st.b / n from each loop, 2 st.s / n, 2 st.s / n from one loop. And eventually connect everything to the beginning of the series.

Tie the whole row with a “crustacean step” and cut the thread.

Take a new thread and, not counting the column from the ch, attach it to the 7th column of the previous row and make 1 ch of lifting.

Knit four st.b / n.

From the sixth column 2 st.s / n.

The next 20 st.s / n.

On the top of the element, tie 5 st.b / n and then symmetrically 20 st.s / n, 2 st.s / n from 1 loop, 5 st.b / n. Now turn the knitting over, as in the case of the arches, this will be the only purl row in the pattern.

Make 1 ch lift, after it 2 st.b / n, 6 st.s / n, 2 st.s / n from 1 loop.

Then 15 st.s / n, 2 st.s / n from one loop.

1 st.s / n, 5 st.b / n should turn out over the same columns of the previous row.

Tie the other half of the product in the same way - 1 st.s / n, 2 st.s / n from one loop, 15 st.s / n, 2 st.s / n from one loop, 6 st.s / n, 3 st.b / n.

Tie the ring around the perimeter with st.b / n and return to the beginning of the row.

Go through the entire element again with a “crustacean step” and cut off the edge of the thread.

Attach a new thread to the first st. b / n of the penultimate row of strapping, with the exception of the row from the “crustacean step”.

From 10 ch form a large loop.

Tie this loop with 22 st.b / n. Turn the item over. Connect each initial and final strapping column to the loops of the element, thereby merging them together.

Turn the knitting over again and re-tie a loop of st.b / n.

In the loop of the element, make one st.b / n. Tie a loop of st.s / n.

Perform the last row of strapping st.b / n. All four rows, the number of columns in the strapping should remain equal to 22.

Go through the element 5 st.b / n and form a second large loop of 10 ch. Tie it by analogy with the first. After it, tie another 7 large loops throughout the element. To complete the knitting of the motif, you should tie the "crawl step".

Recently, clothes knitted with motifs and elements of Irish lace have become fashionable. Eye-catching things look unusual and beautiful. Unique lace products are highly appreciated by the most demanding modern fashionistas. You can use knitted details for decorating clothes, handbags, shoes. Consists of a set of separately knitted details connected among themselves by a grid.

The complexity of the parts of the stacked lace is different, but all the fragments, both complex and simple, look great in the product.

Learning to knit simple motifs for beginners

Craftswomen create lace products from wonderful plexuses of plant patterns, surprising with the unusualness and subtlety of the painstaking work of needlewomen who create crocheted openwork compositions. The technique of creating ornaments is diverse, in many ways, but the result is striking in the uniqueness and delicacy of the created pattern. Clothing made using this technique looks elegant and extravagant.

To learn how to knit, it is best to start with simple ones:

• ribbed leaflet
• round sheet
• openwork leaf
• simple flower
• flower
• twig with leaves

Today we will look at the technology for making beautiful petals and leaves on a twig.

By learning simple motifs, you will be able to create the desired individual things. The main thing is to stock up on patience, perseverance and a well-developed imagination. With all this, you can associate unusual colorful plant compositions.

Irish lace and motif schemes with description

When crocheting, schematic images are used. To understand how to read a pattern, you need to study the symbols for knitting. I propose to see how the techniques already known to us are schematically indicated.

Having studied the above designations, we will create original leaves.

Preparatory stage, materials and accessories

In the process of creating fragments, we need the following material:

• hook of the required size
• yarn
• scissors
• schematic drawings

Knitted ribbed sheet and trefoil according to patterns

In Irish knitting, the most famous fragment of the ornament is considered to be a ribbed leaf. There are many different schematic drawings for creating leaves, which for some reason scare away beginner needlewomen. But beginners should not despair as following the conventions and carefully studying the step-by-step description of the work performed, everything will work out - you will make beautiful and neat leaves.

The knitting of this element consists of a monotonous thread wound in a half-loop or from melange yarn in two half-loops. The size of the leaf is set by the needlewoman herself at the expense of the unfinished row, creating a narrow leaf shape. The loops are not always considered, at the request of the master.

Instructions for creating a relief sheet

	We collect 12 air loops.
	From the second 9 single crochets, finishing the process with 3 air loops.
	The second side of the sheet is identical, at the same time tying the end of the thread. Knitting ends without knitting one loop to the end of the row.
	One air loop is knitted, the workpiece is turned over, and then 11 tbsp., Single crochet and 3 VP. The other side of the leaf is identical.
	Knitting the last one, at the end of the row, we capture it in two half-loops, in order to avoid stretching the leaf.
	In this way we make the whole leaf. If in all rows you do not knit in a column, we get beautiful cloves. In the final row, in place of the loops, 7 tbsp is knitted. without a crochet.
	The leaflet is tied. Cut the thread, removing the end.

We create the intended number of identical parts of the future masterpiece.

Crochet shamrock

The next well-known motif is the shamrock, which is used in almost all handicrafts.

To connect it, you must strictly follow the indicated steps:

• With the help of a hook of the appropriate size, six air ones are drawn, and closed in a ring
• Three identical arches are knitted from six similar loops
• Finished arches are tied with two single crochet, sixteen with double crochet and two more single crochet
• Having finished the procedure, we cut the fiber, hiding the tail

We get a pretty shamrock. A branch with leaves, used in all kinds of home-made products, looks no less nice.

Branch with leaves

Before starting to perform creative manipulations to create a branch with oval leaves, we carefully consider the schematic representation of the presented drawing and consider all further methods in order to avoid making all sorts of mistakes.

Looking at the picture, we see that the process is performed from the bottom up. Let's figure out how to make the first sheet of a given pattern.

1. We collect seven air loops (further VP) and ten more.
2. We turn this section and knit a connecting loop, one - without a crochet, three - with a crochet, one - without a crochet, one connecting loop, fixing the connecting loop in the seventh loop of the beginning of the chain.
3. At the base of the emerging leaf, the knitted part turns from the side VP created leaflet, and in a circle there is a set of twenty-two half-st.
4. The working part is rotated, the looming sheet is tied in a circle with semi-columns before the formation of the sheet begins.
5. Recruiting nine VP and the same as before, we form the next sheet. We monitor the quality of the work procedure, we do not overtighten the thread and do not release it so that the knitted parts keep their shape.
6. The workflow then proceeds as before. The main thing is to carefully read the diagram and correctly read the denoting signs.

Connecting knitted parts

Having learned to knit a variety of fragments, they can be connected to each other:

• with a needle
• grabbing the loops of the last row of two parts
• using an irregular mesh, a honeycomb mesh, or a sirloin mesh
• tying the mesh separately and sewing details on it

Ready-made miniature motifs are used to decorate blouses, skirts, cardigans, hats, handbags, you can make chic and beautiful paintings, panels, create a fancy napkin that decorates the living room.

To recreate unique things with a charming weaving technique, you need to have a developed imagination, patience and a great desire to create without restrictions.

We knit amazing patterns of motives in master classes

The method of work in Irish technology is distinguished by the collection of a product from several separately connected “puzzles”, interconnected by a mesh. The main thing is to feel the work being created, to select the right matching shades of threads, to combine the fragments correctly. Having creatively approached the implementation of interesting and exciting work, the result will delight the craftswomen with a masterpiece. Having carefully studied the process of knitting individual motifs and mesh, novice craftswomen will be able to knit their first composition.

Look great in lace cords and curls, flowers and petals, connected by a grid. Curls look a little better on clothes. Needlewomen use the original curled yarrow.

Video tutorials or how to knit yarrow mk.

Consider a step-by-step instruction for creating a yarrow motif. The element is executed using a bourdon - a thread in three additions. The same thread is used as the working one.

Illustrations of motives	Step-by-step instruction
	On the bourdon we collect 18 s. b. n., forming a ring.
	We continue to gain 60 s on the bourdon. b. n.
	We turn the knitting, pulling the bourdon threads tighter and knit 20 tbsp. b. n., laying the bourdon over the loops of the underlying row.
	Knitting the last loop, we tighten the bourdon, shaping the part.
	The bourdon thread is set aside. We knit 3 in. p., 1 tbsp. With. n., 2 c. n. In this way we do before the start of rounding the leaf and along it.
	Knitting turns, we tie the arches with three single crochets. Bourdon stays away.
	We reach the end, turn the product over, knit 15 tbsp on the bourdon. b. n.
	The work is turning. we also do bourdon, 2 st.b.n., 2 half-columns, 7 st.s.n., 2 half-st., 2 st.
	We skip 2 loops of the underlying row, we knit 1 st.b.n., the work turns, placing the budon on top of the petal, we knit 8 tbsp. b. n.
	Further on the bourdon we collect 7 tbsp. b. n.
	The work turns, the next petal is formed. The procedure is repeated until the end of the row. It turns out a beautiful curl.

Having learned how to perform one fragment, we proceed to perform other details. Following the schematic images, we create our favorite curls, leaves, caterpillars. Yarrow scheme for beginners

Often, in the creation of lace outfits, along with vegetable, all kinds of cords are used to emphasize the ornament being created. One of these is the caterpillar cord.

We offer you to see a detailed step-by-step description of the dense braid used in creativity.

Illustration	Description
	An air loop is knitted, the hook is inserted under the thread of the first knot, the thread is removed and a loop is made.
	Already two pieces have formed on the hook, through which the third is pulled.
	We turn the work around.
	Turning the knitted piece, we find two threads.
	Through the detected threads we create a loop. On the working tool - two.
	Tie two loops together.
	We expand the work.
	Through two threads we stretch one loop.
	The workflow is repeated. We knit a cord of the required length.

Types of knitted nets in handmade lace

Finished parts intended for the formation of clothes are connected in three ways:

Fillet grid schematic representation

"Honeycomb" in the technique of Irish lace pattern

Irregular mesh for knitting in video tutorials

Fastening fragments with a net is a rather simple type of knitting, which consists in laying out details on a pattern, filling the empty space with a sirloin net.

A void of unequal size is filled with an irregular network.

The procedure is facilitated by knitting on a mesh pattern and attaching finished elements to it. Most lace products are assembled using an irregular grid.

Crochet instructions, its elements and motifs

The typeset parts of Irish lace are connected by an irregular network. We pre-attach the joints of the fragments with stitches, fill the space with an asymmetrical network, created by changing air arches and columns with a different number of crochets.

Prepared motifs are placed on a pattern, placed on a foam rubber substrate, and fixed with tailor's pins so that the fabric does not wrinkle. They are laid out face down.

Having stopped at the space between the elements, we knit an asymmetrical mesh. To do this, the hook is inserted from above into the base, catching the working thread and pulling it out.

We hook the short end of the thread and stretch it through the loop formed. The thread is fixed by pulling up the long working end, tightening the knot. The tail is hidden in the canvas.

A knitted leaf can act as an important part of a flower arrangement, or become one of the motifs in a knitted fabric of a future garment. In any case, crocheted leaves are that decorative element that will always be in demand among knitters, because they are decorated with knitted items not only for children, but also for adults. Moreover, in combination with bright flowers or berries, the leaves will become a real highlight in decorating women's accessories (hats, handbags, shawls), as well as all kinds of interior items (3D paintings, flower vases, photo frames).

Knitted leaves are widely used in Irish type-setting lace, with their help they create magnificent embossed fabrics for further transformation into clothes of incredible beauty.

However, if there is simply an incredible number of master classes on knitting openwork volumetric flowers, then the craftswomen pay less attention to the leaves, respectively, and it is not so easy to find knitting guides for them. That is why today we propose to consider in detail the process of knitting various variations on the theme of knitted crochet leaves, which our dear needlewomen can safely use in their work.

We offer you to start learning the basic rules for crocheting leaves right now! Moreover, nature gives us ideas for knitting leaves, and their various forms and variety of shades make it possible to show in practice not only crocheting skills, but also the most unexpected fantasies!

Clover Leaf: Simplicity in the Details

Perhaps, let's start our lessons on knitting leaves with the easiest to do - a clover leaf. Despite the simplicity of knitting, such a leaf looks favorably as a decoration for items of clothing, especially from a children's wardrobe.

To get such a leaf, it is advisable to take thin cotton yarn "Iris", as well as hook No. 1-1.5. To decorate knitted hats or make decorative interior elements, you can try to tie it with a thick thread, we are sure that the leaf will turn out just right!

Conditional abbreviations:

• VP - air loop;
• runway - runway lift;
• SS - connection column;
• RLS - single crochet;
• CCH - single crochet;
• С2Н - a column with 2 crochets;
• PR - previous row;
• PS - half-column.

The pattern of knitting a leaf is as follows:

We start knitting a clover leaf by making individual leaves, which will be attached to each other in the course of knitting, and then the stalk itself is already knitted.

Leaf: we collect a chain for 5 VP. We knit the first row from the second VP, we knit 1 RLS into it, then - CCH, in the last. we knit a loop 10 С2Н. On the opposite side of the chain, we knit CCH and RLS, we complete the row of SS in the last. VP basics. We cut the free thread.

By analogy, we knit the second leaf, with the help of the SS we attach it to the first leaf, cut the thread.

We start knitting the third leaflet, again attach it with the help of the SS to the second leaflet, but leave the thread to continue knitting the stem.

Stalk: From the free loop remaining after the attachment of the leaves, we knit 9 VPs, we knit 1 SS into each of them to “strengthen” the stem.

The clover leaf is ready! To complement the composition, you can imitate clover color. To do this, we make a pompom from a colored thread, knit a longer stalk, connect all three parts together.

Leaf based on Irish lace

Many craftswomen are either addicted to Irish lace or surreptitiously look at this technique, dreaming of learning the basics of knitting in the style of Irish type-setting fabrics. So, the leaves are the basis of the basics of Irish knitting. We agree that knitting them is much more difficult, but the result is worth it! Let's try?

Schematically knitting a leaflet in the Irish style is as follows:

Getting Started

1. We knit the base of 13 VPs.

2. Next we start the row in the 11th VP. Then we knit 2 sc + 2 dc + 2 dc + 2 dc joined by one vertex + 2 dc joined by one vertex. From the last loop - 6 CCH.

3. From the next 4 loops, we knit 2 double CCHs from each loop of the chain, then - 2 CCHs, 2 PS, 2 RLS. Finish the row with SS.

4. Knitting does not need to be turned over, we immediately tie the entire leaf with a “crustaceous step” in the opposite direction.

5. To give the leaf greater relief, we knit a vein in the middle with a thread of a contrasting color - we hold the thread from the bottom of the leaf, we draw the hook through the entire leaf with through loops. We continue to the loop from which 6 CCH are knitted.

6. Now you need to remove the hook from the loop, insert it under the bottom of the sheet. We hook the loop, pull it inside out. Cut and hide the thread under the knitted loops.

7. To get a leaf curved in the other direction, at the beginning we knit a row with forked columns, and after 6 CCHs - double ones.

Leaf with ribbed corners

Leaf knitting pattern:

In order to start knitting such a leaflet, it is necessary to knit a base of 13 VPs (12 VP + 1 lifting VP).

We knit the 1st row: 1 SC in the third VP of the chain from the hook + 9 SC in the next. 9 VP chains + 5 RLS in the next. VP chains from the hook + 9 sc in the next. 9 next VP on the reverse side of the chain. Rows 2-5 knit by analogy, in the forward and reverse direction. Finish SS. Cut the thread and hide inside the loops.

With the help of such knitted leaves, you can make interesting decorative elements, for example, a crocheted napkin from embossed flowers connected by openwork motifs.

Maple leaf tack

The idea of ​​knitting such a bright autumn leaf can be used in two ways - as a clothing decor, an element of a large canvas, a mini napkin, or as an independent kitchen potholder.

To tie a maple leaf, you need to take 25 gr. golden beige and about 5 gr. dark red yarn (cotton, acrylic) and hook No. 1.5.

Step by step knitting:

1. We collect the base of 8 VPs, close it in a ring with the help of SS.

3. 3 runways, then 6 times we knit repeating combinations - 2 dc between the second and third dc PR from the hook, 2 VP, 2 dc between the second and third column of PR from the hook. Next - CCH in the last. SSN PR.

4. We knit further according to the above schematic drawing, straight and reverse rows. At the end of the third row we break the thread. We attach it strictly as shown in the diagram to tie the fourth row. We do the same for the transition to 5-8 rows.

5. We attach a dark red thread, we knit in a circular manner using RLS, while doing this, do not forget to perform 3 picot above each vertex located on the sides of the leaf and 5 picot above the one in the center. SS. We cut the thread, hide it inside the loops.

6. We knit the stalk - we attach the thread to the base of the leaflet with the help of the SS, we knit a chain of 20 VPs. Then we knit the CCH in the fifth VP from the hook, 15 CCH in the next. 15 VP of the base of the chain.

We slightly moisten the maple leaf with a starch solution, iron it, leave it to dry completely. A mini napkin or kitchen potholder is completely ready to use!

Decorative mini leaves for roses

Lovely juicy leaves will surely appeal to those who cannot pass by such a miniature beauty! You can link them now, besides, with proper skill, this process will take a little time.

Knitting pattern:

We start knitting:

1. A chain of 7 VP + 1 runway.

2. In each VP, we knit the bases according to RLS.

4. Row No. 3: Runway + RLS + 2 VP knit 7 times, + 2 VP + SS + VP, repeat this combination on the opposite side of the leaf. SS.

5. We knit the other two leaves in the same way. We sew all three leaves together, in the center we sew a pre-tied rosette or, if desired, any other knitted flower. With such a bright composition, you can safely decorate clothes, hair accessories and even home furnishings.

Crocheted strawberry leaf - juicy, beautiful, original

To knit such a leaf, we need thin cotton yarn, as well as hook number 1.

Progress:

Zero row: a chain of 11 VPs.

A focusing attention: to make the sheet embossed, it is necessary to knit with single crochets, hooked on the back half loop.

Row number 1: in the 2nd VP from the hook we knit 8 sc + 2 sc in one loop + 9 sc.

Row number 2: 3 PS + 1 VP + 7 RLS + 3 RLS in one loop + 8 RLS.

Row number 3: 1 VP + 8 SC + 3 VP in one loop + 9 SC. Row number 4: 3 PS + 1 VP + 7 RLS + 3 VP in one loop + 8 RLS.

According to this principle, we knit the desired number of sheets, sew previously crocheted berries and strawberry flowers to them - the most beautiful brooch is ready!

Such leaves, especially in combination with berries, look perfect on children's clothes - hats, dresses and blouses. But, we encourage you to experiment, not to stop there, trying to combine them with other flowers and berries.

Crochet patterns for sheets

For experienced craftswomen who are easily versed in schematic crochet patterns, we have collected a large selection of leaves of various shapes and varying complexity of execution. We are sure that you will definitely find an interesting option that has not yet been tested before!

With the advent of spring, Ireland will celebrate the biggest and most revered holiday in this country - St. Patrick's Day.

Did you know that many Christian denominations (including the Russian Orthodox Church since last year) also venerate this saint? It is unlikely that anyone will celebrate his day on a larger scale and more grandiose than they do in Ireland, however, it is quite possible to join the holiday, share it with the Irish.

Firstly, it is interesting and exciting, and if you learn a little more about the life of St. Patrick than you know, it may well turn out that the holiday in your family will become one of your favorites. Basically, you have to start somewhere. Maybe with crochet clover leaf?

In the process of knitting, the idea of ​​\u200b\u200ba fun Irish-style party may be born - you want to invite friends, treat them to Irish meat steaks and bake Irish shortcakes with them, and then, at the end of the evening, give everyone small gifts in the form knitted shamrock- for memory and good luck. Just like in Ireland!

How to crochet a clover leaf - 5 master classes:

1. Cover with clover on the cup

Combining two ideas in one project is always touching, but in this case it is charming, beautiful and pleasant.

4. Classic crochet shamrock

The shamrock is one of the symbols of Ireland. It is believed that when Saint Patrick came to this country to tell people about God and his teachings, he explained the postulate about the Trinity with the help of a clover leaf: the three petals seem to be separate from each other, but they cannot live without each other, they grow on one stem, this is unity. Trinity. As is the case with the Trinity.

5. Clover-Leaf Irish Slippers
