I love a chance to decorate for another holiday. No sooner is one over before I put up decorations for the next. St. Patrick’s Day is coming soon but rarely do I find any decorations in the stores that I really like. As always, I say, make your own! And I do. Here is a lovely strand of little shamrocks just dying to be hung up in your home. The shamrocks are small and can be made in a matter of minutes. Make them in one color or get creative and use a handful of different greens. The garland string is made with two strands of yarn held together and features little circles at both ends for an easier means of hanging. Make nine shamrocks as suggested or make as many as you like!

The popular Leprechaun Hat crochet pattern has been updated just in time to crochet one (or several) for St. Patrick’s day! The pattern still has the same hat shape and contains 5 sizes: baby, toddler, child, adult (recommended for women), and large adult (recommended for men). The new, updated version of the pattern provides a clearer gauge and adjusts the bottom of the hat so that it fits more snugly around the head. This new version replaces the old pattern, so if you already purchased the pattern, feel free to log into your store account and re-download the pattern and the new version will be provided for free.

Crocheting can be done in rows and also in rounds. In this post, I rounded up a bunch of tutorials and special techniques for crocheting in the round. If you’ve never crocheted in the round before, start with the first few tutorials. If you’re an experienced crocheter, feel free to skip towards the middle and end of the list to see special techniques.

Decorate a boring tissue box with this cute and quirky monster. It is perfect for kids. Crochet it in your child’s favorite color. The tissue box cover is crocheted in one piece, seamlessly in the round from the top down. Then the eyes and face are attached.
