Shamrock Garland – Free Crochet Pattern

Thank you for joining me for this St. Patrick’s Day Blog Hop! We’ve got 16 crazy talented bloggers sharing St. Patrick’s Day crafts – on a budget! Each blogger was given a budget of no more than $10 and challenged to create a St. Patrick’s Day craft using items from the dollar store or dollar section of their local stores. I made a Shamrock Garland using leftover yarn from my Christmas yarn stash. The yarn and the crochet hook cost less than $8 if you’re interested in making this project. Here’s a Michael’s coupon to help you get started. To enter the blog hop, scroll down to the bottom of this post.
