Since releasing my Sprout Plushie pattern over a year ago, it has continued to be my best-selling pattern as well as most popular item at my markets. I love how this pattern started out as a little “sprout” and began to “grow” it into different mods! I really wish I could say I had planned it all out that way but, in all honesty, it just happened that way.
With St. Patrick’s Day and spring coming up, this free clover mod for my Sprout Plushie pattern brings both of those things together. Please note that this is NOT a full pattern and a copy of my Sprout Plushie is required to work this mod. This clover can be made into either a 3-leaf or 4-leaf clover (as pictured). Staying true to my Sprout Plushie pattern, this mod works with any yarn! If you try it out, please leave a comment below or tag me on socials, I’d love see how it came out :D.
Happy almost spring!!
