Knitted and Bejeweled Shamrock Tutorial

St. Patrick's day is on it's way so why not knit some Irish luck in the form of these handmade bejeweled shamrocks developed by Vickie Howell. These lucky shamrocks can be used as a pin or an applique for shirts, pillows, tote bags and much more.

And better yet you can use left over yarn scraps to make these lucky leaves! To view the instructions for the Knitted and Bejeweled Shamrock Tutorial, click here.
