Leprechaun Knitting Patterns

February 17, by Sarah White. Leave a Comment

St. Patrick’s Day is coming up soon, and in the past I have shared knitting patterns with shamrocks and a variety of Aran patterns for you to stitch up for the holiday.

This year I thought I’d look to see what kind of leprechaun knitting patterns were available, and I found some good stuff, though not all of it is free.

Looking for some luck of the Irish? Check out these St Patrick’s day patterns. 

Free Patterns

Rufus the Leprechaun by Aussie Jean is a cute little doll worked in pieces.

The tiny Leprechaun hat from Tricia on flickr is perfect for a teeny tiny gnome, or just to use as decoration anywhere.

Paid Patterns

Alan Dart’s Leprechaun, like all his other knit dolls and animals, is amazing, and the pattern runs $5. I love the eyelash yarn beard on this one!

Blarney the Leprechaun by Amanda Berry is a cute little round guy with a big hat. It runs £2.50.

Mary C. Gildersleeve’s Patrick the Leprechaun is a 17-inch tall guy with a long yarny beard and a bathrobe. I don’t know why, but it’s cute. This one is $6.

Prefer a leprechaun in more formal attire? Larney O’Shamrock, whose pattern costs £2.49, sports a green suit with a yellow vest and pretty golden beard.

Janice Anderson’s Leprechaun Coat and Hat are an adorable addition to another doll’s wardrobe. Or a sheep, as shown. The pattern is £2.50.

For $2.75 and a little scrap yarn you can have the Frugal Knitting Haus’ Leprechaun Jar Topper, a fun decoration for the kitchen.

And if you want to knit leprechaun-themed washcloths instead, you can use the Leprechaun chart from Angela Foster ($1.75) or try one of Lisa Millan’s patterns, which include a Leprechaun, a hat and pipe or a hat by itself. They run $2 each.

Do you knit for St. Patrick’s Day? I’d love to know what you made or are making this year!

Chick Knitting Patterns

Recently I shared a  collection of Easter egg knitting patterns, and as we all know chicks are what comes out of eggs, so it’s only right to share some chick knitting patterns too. Chicks are perfect for spring decor even when it’s not Easter time, and they are so cute and fun to knit, too.

This fluffy chick from Sincerely Louise can also be worked in less fuzzy yarn if you’d rather. It’s worked flat and seamed so it’s a good one for newer knitters who might not be comfortable working little projects in the round. You can grab the pattern on Etsy.

This little chick from Fluff and Fuzz on Etsy looks like it’s still wearing part of its shell! There’s also an option without the white details, and you can knit these little hats as well. They’re worked in DK weight yarn. (She also has a super cute tiny egg shaped chick in a half shell that’s a free pattern on Ravelry.)

If you want ta chick that’s even more in an egg, this egg-shaped chick from Purl Soho may be what you’re looking for. It’s worked in super fine yarn so you can make a bunch of chicks with a skein or two of yarn, or use leftovers to change up the colors.

Alan Dart has a cute pattern that includes two halves of a broken egg and a chick that fits inside. It calls for DK weight yarn.

The spring chick pattern from Barbara Prime is a sweet little bird shape that you could make as other birds worked in different colors. The pattern doesn’t specify yarn weight, so use whatever yellow (or other color you like) yarn you have on hand to make birds of different sizes.

Make a cute, fuzzy, felted chick with the Chick Wobblers pattern from Cindy Pilon (available on Ravelry). These little chicks come in two sizes and have an “internal wobbler” so when you try to tip them over they wobble back up.
