Shamrock Crochet Potholder Pattern
The Shamrock Crochet Coaster Pattern has been so successful I thought I would create a post telling you how to take the same pattern and make a shamrock crochet potholder.
And also, we will be using the same yarn weight as before.
Sounds impossible? It’s actually quite simple and fun. Keep reading for a video on how to do this.
Worsted Yarn to a Bulky:
Now I’m not asking you to grab three balls of yarn and fight tangles as you work yarn from each one. But this is much simpler than that.
We will be working from one ball of yarn. Read the blog post here, or check out this video below:

“The only good luck many great men ever had was being born with the ability and determination to overcome bad luck.”
-Channing Pollock
While the three leaves of a shamrock stand for faith, hope, and love, the fourth leaf is luck.
I hope luck finds you, and this crochet coaster is a reminder to appreciate all the luck that comes your way.
