Happy St Patrick’s Day and Onion Leaf clover Pattern

 Hi

I wish all my Irish followers a very happy St Patrick’s day 

Last year this was my clover leaf pattern and to remind you here is a copy of last years post that went with the picture

I made this tatted clover leaf,  it’s my own pattern I threw together,   I am calling it an Onion Ring clover leaf,  it’s in development as you could say,  needs a few finishing touches perhaps a few more stitches to make it bigger,   but for today it will do.   It’s onion ring leaves and a spiral chain for the stalk.  I  used Lizbeth no 20 thread in Christmas green mix,  I am running out of dark green,  so I used this varigated thread instead.  I will write my pattern out at some point

Here is this years clover leaf,  yes I have made it bigger and added a Josephine knot on the tips of the clover leafs.  I promised to write out the pattern  ( only taken a year,  better late than never)  again I used Lizbeth thread no 20 in Christmas green mix.  

No 1 which is the picture at the top of the page 

Onion ring leaf pattern no one 

Ring 5 - 5

Row 1,  10 + (attach to the picot at the top of the ring).  vsp  19

Row 2    15 + (again attach to the top of the last row). vsp  15

Row 3    20 +  as before  p 20

*** vsp chain  4 and then do the pattern again for the next onion leaf ,  then chain 4 join at the base of the chain and Repeat the onion leaf again making three onion leaves **

Stalk  is a spiral chain to whatever length you want.
