This motif has an Irish crochet four leaf clover center. It is crocheted with #60 thread and a size 14 steel hook. This motif is worked in 3 rounds, the first being the crocheted center, then the round of small clovers (in blue), followed by a round of larger clovers (in red).

All the tatted clovers are Directional Rings, as well as the small ring between the larger clovers (in the red section). The remaining rings, throughout the pattern, are split rings with the exception of the rings at the beginning of the round marked as ‘A’. These are worked with shuttle 1. All rounds are ended with a join to the beginning ring, between stitches.

Tatting Stitches Ctm = continuous thread method R = ring ch = chain j = join dk = double knot dr = directional ring S1 = shuttle 1 S2 = shuttle 2 Sr or / = split ring tw = turn work cl.r = close ring p = picot lhk = lark’s head knot	Crochet Stitches slst = slip st sc = single crochet dc = double crochet hdc = half double crochet ch = chain CK = clones knot (directions)
