Making a ‘Three-Legged’ St. Brigid’s Cross - an Easy Step by Step Guide

- Here is another little video of me demonstrating how to make a ‘Three-Legged’ designed 'cross' for St. Brigid's Day. Although, this is technically not a cross as such however this is what we always called it and I can’t get my head around calling it anything else.
This design was found in small pockets around the country and I’ve been making these for nearly 30 years. This is a little harder than the classic St. Brigid’s Cross but I have found young and old master it after a few attempts. There is a simplicity to this design which I really like and also the fact that it is not over ornate.

Your videos are the absolute best! I make the four legged and three legged Brigid’s crosses every Imbolc for family & friends. Thank you for the clear instructions. -Erin in Oregon, USA

This and your 4 legged cross video have been incredibly helpful to me! Thank you so much, and blessed Imbolc to all!

Delightful stuff - thanks loads for these and the other videos. Planning to make a couple of different ones this year to get my hands round the technique.
Brilliant Mick, I'm going to Knock Shrine this afternoon to make crosses as I did last year. Going to give this design a go this year 😃 I've several to make for myself, neighbours and friends
Beautiful. Thank you 😊 🙏🏼
Nice one, Michael.
Thanks for that.
The three aspects, for me, represent The Triple Goddess Brigid.
Happy Imbolg
Mind Yourself.

Thank you! ❤
Great video Michael. Any literature / evidence to St. Brigid make the triskel type or just the 4 leg cross? Anyway way of knowing which style came first? 😊 Thanks
What is sally, the material that you said could use instead of rushes?
I just spent a week in Ireland! At the Cliffs of Moher, a volunteer showed how to make different styles of Brigid’s Cross. She called the three-legged version a “farmer’s” cross, but I don’t remember why. Do you know what it represents?
lovely. whats that other type of open weave cross u have on the table? thanks
thanks Michael St Bridig s Bless

What’s Sallie’s
Did you block me? I gave you an answer but it was automatically removed.
I'm an old woman, why were you so mean to me?
I've been living in Ireland since 2006, been to Skellig and around, married an Irishman, keep learning. Why do you 'authority' me? instead of explaining. Did you open this channel because you need attention more than anything? Do you have too many friends that you prefer to alienate well wishers?
Nice but how's that a cross though?
