About this pattern

One shamrock with three heart-shaped leaves and a short stalk that bends to the right. Each leaf is folded down its middle into a light green half and a dark green half: the top leaf is light on the left and dark on the right, and the two side leaves are light above and dark below. The three points meet in the middle, and a dark brown outline runs round the leaves and the stalk. Full crosses only. It is 30 by 30 stitches and uses three thread colors.

30 stitches wide by 30 high: 536 full cross stitches in 3 DMC colors (Hunter Green 3346, Forest Green 989, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938).
