The Shamrock Doily Crochet Pattern
By Sara Sach of  Posh Pooch Designs

 

Is It a Shamrock or a Clover?

"Traditionally, shamrocks have been used as a symbol of Ireland. A clover must have three leaves to be considered a shamrock. If the clover has more or less, then it is not a shamrock. Hence, all shamrocks are clovers, but not all clovers are shamrocks."

This is is a easy Shamrock Doily, perfect for any
 St. Patrick's Day Party, celebration and 

Family get together.

It would look lovely with a basket of 

Irish Soda Bread sitting on it. yum!
