Crochet a Shamrock Brooch: A Beginner's Guide

A shamrock brooch makes a quick, easy, and thoughtful gift for St. Patrick's Day—or any other day! 

This short class (and included printable backing card) is free with a Skillshare trial. It’s a fun way to surprise your favorite barista, delivery driver, or kid's teacher with a lucky charm that's sure to make their day. It can be pinned to a favorite bag, added to a jacket, or kept in a pocket as a tiny treasure.

Very few supplies are needed, an as with all my crochet classes, absolutely no experience is required. Even the most novice crocheter can totally pull this off. I’ll walk you through the whole project step-by-step. You'll learn how to:

  • hold your yarn

  • read a yarn label

  • make sense of a crochet chart & pattern

  • create a magic ring

  • chain stitch

  • treble crochet

  • half-double crochet

  • slip stitch

Crochet requires no batteries, is easy to take with you on the go, and is fantastic for stress relief. So get cozy, grab your favorite beverage, and let’s hook up some shamrocks!
