I had this idea. The top of my tiny crochet hearts kind of look like half of a four-leaf clover. What if I added two more leaves and a stem?
After a few tries, I finally got it. Hope they bring you some good luck!
Tiny Four-Leaf Clover Pattern
worsted weight yarn
size G/5 (4.25mm) crochet hook
tapestry needle for weaving ends
dc: double crochet
hdc: half double crochet
sc: single crochet
sl st: slip stitch
gauge: not important, but mine are about 1 1/2 inches across
Make a magic ring.
R1: chain 1, sc into loop 5 times, pull loop closed, join with sl st (5 stitches)
R2: It might be easier to take this stitch by stitch:
— chain 1, hdc, 3dc, hdc in first stitch
— sl st into second stitch, hdc, 3dc, hdc in that same stitch
— sl st into third stitch, chain 4, sc in second and third bump from hook,
sl st into third st again*
— hdc, 3dc, hdc in fourth stitch
— sl st into fifth stitch, hdc, 3dc, hdc in that same stitch
— sl st into first chain 1
*You’re going into the bumps on the back of the chain, not the stitches on the front of the chain.
Some folks were having trouble getting the V shape on the top of the heart, so I hope adding this chain 1 helps. I take the end, weave it in on the back toward the tail and then tie them tightly together.

Thanks so much for the pattern. Just in time for last minute green for daughter to go to school tomorrow. I used to have patterns for stuff like this but moving so many times have sent them to the wind. Thanks again!
