We’re having an Irish Crochet Along in the Irish Crochet Lovers group on Ravelry. Our motif for April was this shamrock, from The Priscilla Irish Crochet Book No. 1, by Lula M. Harvey. It is Figure 27.
Our plan is to crochet one or two motifs a month for several months. In October, we’ll join them in the traditional Irish Crochet way. November is the month for adding trim to our projects.
I’m learning a lot from the crocheters in the group. Some have done a Irish Crochet for a long time. They know some very helpful tricks.
You can download the Irish Crochet book that this pattern is in free at http://www.antiquepatternlibrary.org. Click on their catalog of books, and look under “Harvey.”
