It’s been calculated that the odds of finding a four-leaf clover are 10,000 to 1 (Bradley, 2008) … those are some steep odds indeed! But we can make our own luck by stitching up as many as we’d like with this free crochet clover afghan square pattern!

Thanks so much for the free pattern. I’m also trying to make a shamrock coaster in a circle with scallop edging. Do you know where I could find a pattern for this? It’s just like yours except round. I’m a very beginner so I have no idea how to make it into a circle instead of a square. I’m willing to buy the pattern if you have one or know someone that has one. Thanks so much. Have a great day!
I really don’t understand your round two at all. Could you post a video of what it means?
I can’t seem to find this pattern. I’ve clicked on the links but the sites don’t seem to have the pattern. Help!
Thank you so much for this pattern! It’s exactly what I was looking for!
On Round 2 it says “sl st into next sl st” am I using a new color at this time? I am so confused.
#beginnerstatus
Not a silly question at all … on Round 1 you made slip stitches after each treble crochet grouping. In Round 2, you will be working slip stitches into those slip stitches. Hope that helps 🙂
it did, thank you so much 🙂
Thanks for the free pattern! Question on Round 3, the written instructions say “ch-4 loop” several times, but is that supposed to be ch-5 loop? On the previous round you work four ch-5 so that is a little confusing to me. Am I missing something? Thanks again.
Hi Sarah 🙂 No, you aren’t missing anything. That was a typo on my part. It should say ch-5 loops. I corrected it in the pattern. Thanks for letting me know!
and guess what I saw after leaving my comment? A pattern LOL… Thanks for that 🙂
My pleasure 🙂
I agree meta
fore. I was looking for a pattern too. I can’t read charts.
I was fine with this pattern until I saw the chart. I will never make these squares! I totally Hate charts!
You do not have to use the chart. I provided BOTH a pattern and a chart because I understand that people have different preferences.
on round 2, what does slip stitch into next slip stitch mean?
sorry if this is a silly question, I am just a little confused
