March is here, spring is just around the corner and St. Patrick’s Day is coming!
I suggest adding some green to your favorite granny square compositions. Have a look at my free Shamrock Granny Square pattern and think how cool that would be to make a blanket (a bag? a coaster? a bunting? a sweater) with this happy green motif?
Don’t forget I have a few more shamrock/St. Paddy/Ireland related patterns in my collection, read bout them HERE.
And there’s another free shamrock pattern that you can see HERE.
