Hey everyone! In this crochet tutorial, I’ll be showing you how to create a festive shamrock wall hanging in time for St. Patrick’s Day. This design is perfect for adding a touch of Irish cheer to your home decor.
I’ll be walking you through each step of the process, from choosing your yarn and hook to crocheting the individual shamrock shapes and assembling the wall hanging. Whether you’re an experienced crocheter or just learning the ropes, I hope this tutorial will be helpful and enjoyable for you.
You can find a free PDF pattern for the shamrock wall hanging on Ravelry along with other patterns you may like: Ravelry Pattern
Alternatively, there is a full video tutorial available on my YouTube channel. I hope you have fun creating your own shamrock wall hanging!

Attaching to dowel:
These wall hangings were attached using sc method. The stitches are worked around the dowel into the top of the wall hanging.
- With the back of the project facing you, attach yarn to top corner of wall hanging and chain 1. Place the dowel along the top of the wall hanging, with yarn in front. Place hook through the same stitch with the ch1.
- With the hook behind the dowel, yarn over and pull the yarn through the stitch.
- With two loops on the hook, yarn over and pull through both loops on the hook.
- Insert your hook in the next stitch.
- With the hook behind the dowel, yarn over and pull through the stitch
- Yarn over and pull through both loops on hook. Continue across the top of the wall hanging
Chain to hang: Ch 5, sl st in 1st st to form a loop, ch 35, sl st in 5th st from hook to form a loop. Fasten off. (This will create a long chain for hanging the piece, if you would like a shorter chain, reduce the number of chains until it is the desired length.)
