64 Crochet Bedspread Ideas: Floral, Lace and Colorwork

BySIMO

Explore all 64 supplied bed-cover references in original archive order, from coastal flower squares and red hearts to spirals, autumn colorwork and raised roses. Close views, alternate views and related color variations are deliberately retained; sixty-four images does not imply sixty-four independently verified motif structures. A few smaller throws belong to the same bedspread families and are included in this single article.

Pattern transparency: All instructions in this article are original, photo-inspired interpretations and have not been physically tested. They are not the original designer’s patterns, and an exact match to any photograph or pictured chart is not promised. Some intricate references are intentionally simplified. Make and wash a sample, check each count and adjust measurements before committing to a large project.

US crochet terms and working rules

ch = chain; sl st = slip stitch; sc = single crochet; hdc = half double crochet; dc = double crochet; inc = 2 stitches in one stitch; sc2tog = single crochet two stitches together; st(s) = stitch(es); sp = space; RS = right side. A magic ring is an adjustable yarn loop. Numbers in brackets give end-of-round or end-of-row counts. Repeat instructions between parentheses the stated number of times.

Unless a step explicitly says otherwise, beginning chains do not count as stitches. For dc rounds, ch 2 to reach height, then work the first dc into the first stitch; join to the first real dc. For sc rounds, ch 1 and join to the first sc. For flat sc rows, ch 1 and turn. Flat dc rows explicitly use ch 3 as the first counted dc. Do not work into joining slip stitches. Change color by completing the last yarn-over of the preceding stitch with the new yarn.

To work sc2tog: insert hook into the next stitch and draw up a loop, repeat in the following stitch, yarn over and draw through all three loops. For a surface slip stitch, bring the yarn up from behind the fabric, insert the hook into the next chosen gap and pull the new loop through the loop already on the hook. Keep these stitches loose.

Additional US terms: tr = treble crochet; dc2tog/dc3tog = double crochet two/three together; sc3tog = single crochet three together; BLO = back loop only. Beginning chains do not count unless a step explicitly counts ch 3 as the first dc. For joined dc rounds use a non-counting ch 2, then the first real dc in the first stitch. Follow the stated turning rule on flat rows. Every written version is an original, physically untested interpretation; the photograph does not validate hidden joins or a pictured chart.

1. Red Heart Granny-Square Bedspread

Red Heart Granny-Square Bedspread in red, ivory and pale blue
Red Heart Granny-Square Bedspread – supplied reference for an original, physically untested interpretation.

This reference combines red, ivory and pale blue in a red heart granny-square bedspread. The counted construction below interprets its main motif and arrangement.

Materials, gauge and size

Smooth DK cotton, cotton blend or washable wool, approximately 1,800-3,500 g for a full bedspread or 500-1,200 g for a smaller throw. Colors: red, ivory and pale blue. Hook: 3.5-4.5 mm; use a smaller hook or finer yarn for appliques if needed. Quantities are estimates: weigh a washed complete motif, multiply by actual component count and add 15-20% for seams and edging.

Also use a yarn needle, scissors, stitch markers, measuring tape and blocking pins. Add measured fabric backs, sewing thread and purchased inserts for optional cushions.

Gauge and size: start near 16 dc by 9 rows or 20 sc by 22 rows per 10 cm as provisional swatches only. Measure a complete washed motif and the actual bed. Circle, hexagon, octagon and diagonal layouts require a multi-motif trial patch; one square measurement cannot establish their final geometry.

Palette and sample plan

  1. Palette: red, ivory and pale blue. Choose a contrasting center, the main flower or geometric shade and a framing color from that palette. Use the palest shade for the outer lace unless the reference has a dark outline. Write down the chosen round-by-round colors after the first sample so the whole set stays consistent.
  2. The written motif may simplify the reference. Work one complete motif and one join before multiplying pieces. Keep all border stitches accessible, sew appliques flat and record every size or color change. Close views and color variations use the same counted construction intentionally.

Classic granny square

  1. Round 1: In a magic ring work (3 dc, ch 2) four times; join. [12 dc, four ch-2 corners]
  2. Round 2: In every corner work (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc); ch 1 between corner groups. [24 dc, four ch-2 corners and four ch-1 side spaces]
  3. Round 3: Work (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in each corner and 3 dc in each side ch-1 space, separating every group with ch 1 except within the ch-2 corners. [36 dc, four corners and eight side ch-1 spaces]
  4. Rounds 4–5: Repeat Round 3, placing one 3-dc group in each side space. Round 4 has 48 dc and twelve side spaces; Round 5 has 60 dc and sixteen side spaces. Both have four ch-2 corners.
  5. Round 6: Sc in each dc and 1 sc in each side ch-1 space; work (sc, ch 2, sc) in each corner. [84 sc and four ch-2 corners; 21 sc per side] Block square without pulling the holes out of shape.

Red heart applique – one per square

  1. In a magic ring ch 3, then work 3 tr, 3 dc, ch 1, tr, ch 1, 3 dc, 3 tr, ch 3 and sl st into ring. Tighten and fasten off [7 tr, 6 dc, two ch-1 spaces and two ch-3 side loops, plus the joining sl st]. The central tr forms the bottom point and the two groups of three tr form the lobes.
  2. Make one heart per square, using finer cotton if it would cover the joining border. Block into a heart outline, sew the full outline and center flat to the square, and keep the square border free. Embroider four little blue starbursts near its corners with four crossed straight stitches per star. The heart is an applique interpretation, not a transcription of the integrated heart lace in the photo.

Layout, joining and border

  1. Make 168 identical motifs. Block each to the same measured square width W. Lay out 12 columns by 14 rows; approximate finished size before borders is 12W by 14W. At W = 12 cm this is 144 × 168 cm; choose the motif size and layout from the actual bed measurements.
  2. With right sides together, whipstitch matching edge stitches through the outside loops. Join all vertical seams, then all horizontal seams. Match corresponding corners and leave no unsupported gap between four motifs.
  3. Border Round 1: sc in each exposed stitch, one sc in each ch-1 space and two sc in each ch-2 space; at the four outside corners work (sc, ch 2, sc). Adjust only at seam junctions to keep the border flat. Round 2: sc in each stitch, (sc, ch 2, sc) at each corner. Round 3: repeat Round 2. Record the actual perimeter count because motif layouts and seam junctions change it.
  4. For a cushion front, make a separate 3 × 3 motif panel. Sew three sides to a same-size fabric backing and use an envelope fabric overlap on the fourth side. The insert is purchased; there is no hidden crochet backing pattern.

Measured size and matching cushions

  1. Measure mattress width and length plus the desired side and foot drops. With washed motif width W, columns = ceil(required width/W) and rows = ceil(required length/W). Make their product in motifs. The 12 by 14 example uses 168 motifs: at W = 16 cm it is about 192 by 224 cm; at W = 12 cm only 144 by 168 cm, before borders. Recalculate instead of assuming every motif makes a bed-size cover.
  2. For two pillow fronts make eighteen additional motifs in two separate 3 by 3 panels. Sew each crochet front to a measured fabric envelope back and fit a purchased insert before closing the last seams. Weigh the washed finished motif, multiply by actual motif count, and add 15-20% for seams and edging.

Assembly and finishing

  1. Check all counts before joining. Weave ends through several stitches in three directions. Sew point joins more than once and distribute tension evenly.
  2. Wash a sample using the yarn care instructions, block gently and allow it to dry completely. Recheck fit or motif size after washing. These original patterns are photo-inspired and physically untested; they do not reproduce a verified photographed chart.

  2. Round 3: Behind the petals, sc around each Round-1 sc post, ch 5 after each sc [eight anchors, eight loops]. Round 4: into each loop work (sc, hdc, 5 dc, hdc, sc), then sl st into the next anchor sc [eight outer petals, nine stitches per petal plus eight anchor sl sts].
  3. Round 5: Behind the outer petals, sc around each Round-3 anchor post and ch 5 after each sc [eight anchors and eight loops]. Round 6: (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in first loop, 3 dc in next loop; repeat four times [36 dc, four corners].
  4. Round 7: Dc in each dc and (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in each corner [52 dc]. Round 8: sc in each dc and (sc, ch 2, sc) in each corner [60 sc, four corners]. Block square. Choose the center, petal and frame shades from the stated palette. Use the palest framing color on the last round unless the reference has a contrasting dark outer frame.

Layout, joining and border

  1. Make 168 identical motifs. Block each to the same measured square width W. Lay out 12 columns by 14 rows; approximate finished size before borders is 12W by 14W. At W = 12 cm this is 144 × 168 cm; choose the motif size and layout from the actual bed measurements.
  2. With right sides together, whipstitch matching edge stitches through the outside loops. Join all vertical seams, then all horizontal seams. Match corresponding corners and leave no unsupported gap between four motifs.
  3. Border Round 1: sc in each exposed stitch, one sc in each ch-1 space and two sc in each ch-2 space; at the four outside corners work (sc, ch 2, sc). Adjust only at seam junctions to keep the border flat. Round 2: sc in each stitch, (sc, ch 2, sc) at each corner. Round 3: repeat Round 2. Record the actual perimeter count because motif layouts and seam junctions change it.
  4. For a cushion front, make a separate 3 × 3 motif panel. Sew three sides to a same-size fabric backing and use an envelope fabric overlap on the fourth side. The insert is purchased; there is no hidden crochet backing pattern.

Measured size and matching cushions

  1. Measure mattress width and length plus the desired side and foot drops. With washed motif width W, columns = ceil(required width/W) and rows = ceil(required length/W). Make their product in motifs. The 12 by 14 example uses 168 motifs: at W = 16 cm it is about 192 by 224 cm; at W = 12 cm only 144 by 168 cm, before borders. Recalculate instead of assuming every motif makes a bed-size cover.
  2. For two pillow fronts make eighteen additional motifs in two separate 3 by 3 panels. Sew each crochet front to a measured fabric envelope back and fit a purchased insert before closing the last seams. Weigh the washed finished motif, multiply by actual motif count, and add 15-20% for seams and edging.

Assembly and finishing

  1. Check all counts before joining. Weave ends through several stitches in three directions. Sew point joins more than once and distribute tension evenly.
  2. Wash a sample using the yarn care instructions, block gently and allow it to dry completely. Recheck fit or motif size after washing. These original patterns are photo-inspired and physically untested; they do not reproduce a verified photographed chart.

7. Sage and Peach Ripple Bedspread

Sage and Peach Ripple Bedspread in sage, peach and cream
Sage and Peach Ripple Bedspread – supplied reference for an original, physically untested interpretation.

This reference combines sage, peach and cream in a sage and peach ripple bedspread. The counted construction below interprets its main motif and arrangement.

Materials, gauge and size

Smooth DK cotton, cotton blend or washable wool, approximately 1,800-3,500 g for a full bedspread or 500-1,200 g for a smaller throw. Colors: sage, peach and cream. Hook: 3.5-4.5 mm; use a smaller hook or finer yarn for appliques if needed. Quantities are estimates: weigh a washed complete motif, multiply by actual component count and add 15-20% for seams and edging.

Also use a yarn needle, scissors, stitch markers, measuring tape and blocking pins. Add measured fabric backs, sewing thread and purchased inserts for optional cushions.

Gauge and size: start near 16 dc by 9 rows or 20 sc by 22 rows per 10 cm as provisional swatches only. Measure a complete washed motif and the actual bed. Circle, hexagon, octagon and diagonal layouts require a multi-motif trial patch; one square measurement cannot establish their final geometry.

Palette and sample plan

  1. Palette: sage, peach and cream. Choose a contrasting center, the main flower or geometric shade and a framing color from that palette. Use the palest shade for the outer lace unless the reference has a dark outline. Write down the chosen round-by-round colors after the first sample so the whole set stays consistent.
  2. The written motif may simplify the reference. Work one complete motif and one join before multiplying pieces. Keep all border stitches accessible, sew appliques flat and record every size or color change. Close views and color variations use the same counted construction intentionally.

Counted feather-and-fan ripple

  1. Positions N = 18k + 1. Example k = 18 gives N = 325. Ch 327. Row 1: dc in fourth chain and across, skipped ch 3 counts as first dc [325]. Row 2: ch 1, turn; sc in every stitch [325].
  2. Row 3: ch 3 counts as first dc, turn; (dc2tog three times, [ch 1, dc in next stitch] six times, dc2tog three times) eighteen times [217 dc tops and 108 ch-1 spaces; 325 positions]. Each repeat consumes eighteen old stitches and produces twelve dc tops plus six chains. Dc2tog is two unfinished dc closed together, consuming two bases and producing one top.
  3. Row 4: ch 3 counts as first dc, turn; dc in every remaining dc top and one dc in each chain space [325]. Repeat Rows 2-4 to the measured bed length plus foot drop. At 16 positions per 10 cm the planning width is 203 cm, but ripple depth changes the actual width; wash and measure a complete repeat sample.
  4. Change colors after each complete three-row cycle using the listed palette. Change k for another width, retaining 18k + 1 positions. Outline the cover with sc, adding three sc at pronounced outward peaks and sc3tog across inward valleys only where needed to keep it flat. Record the perimeter after these adjustments.
  5. For matching cushion fronts use k = 4, N = 73 and ch 75, repeat the same rows to the measured insert height and sew to fabric envelope backs. The curved bands interpret the reference, with no exact fan-chart claim.

Assembly and finishing

  1. Check all counts before joining. Weave ends through several stitches in three directions. Sew point joins more than once and distribute tension evenly.
  2. Wash a sample using the yarn care instructions, block gently and allow it to dry completely. Recheck fit or motif size after washing. These original patterns are photo-inspired and physically untested; they do not reproduce a verified photographed chart.

  3. Block into a regular hexagon. Make a seven-unit trial patch, one center and six around it, and measure width and row overlap. Example cover: 154 hexagons in fourteen staggered rows of eleven; recalculate from the trial patch rather than treating a hexagon as a square.
  4. Whipstitch twelve-stitch sides, matching corners, and reinforce three-unit junctions. Keep the gentle zigzag outside edge; work two sc outline rounds with (sc, ch 2, sc) at outward corners and sc2tog across inward joins as needed. For cushions make separate seven-unit patches and sew to measured fabric backs.

Assembly and finishing

  1. Check all counts before joining. Weave ends through several stitches in three directions. Sew point joins more than once and distribute tension evenly.
  2. Wash a sample using the yarn care instructions, block gently and allow it to dry completely. Recheck fit or motif size after washing. These original patterns are photo-inspired and physically untested; they do not reproduce a verified photographed chart.

11. Crimson Raised-Rose Bedspread

Crimson Raised-Rose Bedspread in crimson and dark red
Crimson Raised-Rose Bedspread – supplied reference for an original, physically untested interpretation.

This reference combines crimson and dark red in a crimson raised-rose bedspread. The counted construction below interprets its main motif and arrangement.

Materials, gauge and size

Smooth DK yarn, approximately 2,500-4,500 g for a raised-rose full bedspread. Colors: crimson and dark red. Hook: 3.5-4.5 mm; use a smaller hook or finer yarn for appliques if needed. Quantities are estimates: weigh a washed complete motif, multiply by actual component count and add 15-20% for seams and edging.

Also use a yarn needle, scissors, stitch markers, measuring tape and blocking pins. Add measured fabric backs, sewing thread and purchased inserts for optional cushions. Raised roses add substantial weight and thickness; sample the entire flower-on-square construction.

Gauge and size: start near 16 dc by 9 rows or 20 sc by 22 rows per 10 cm as provisional swatches only. Measure a complete washed motif and the actual bed. Circle, hexagon, octagon and diagonal layouts require a multi-motif trial patch; one square measurement cannot establish their final geometry.

Palette and sample plan

  1. Palette: crimson and dark red. Choose a contrasting center, the main flower or geometric shade and a framing color from that palette. Use the palest shade for the outer lace unless the reference has a dark outline. Write down the chosen round-by-round colors after the first sample so the whole set stays consistent.
  2. The written motif may simplify the reference. Work one complete motif and one join before multiplying pieces. Keep all border stitches accessible, sew appliques flat and record every size or color change. Close views and color variations use the same counted construction intentionally.

Solid square ground

  1. Round 1: In a magic ring work (3 dc, ch 2) four times; join to the first dc. [12 dc, four ch-2 corners]
  2. Round 2: Join the second color in a corner. Work (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in each corner and 1 dc in each of the three side stitches; join. [28 dc, four ch-2 corners; seven dc per side]
  3. Round 3: With the third color, work 1 dc in each dc and (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in each corner; join. [44 dc; 11 per side]
  4. Round 4: Repeat Round 3. [60 dc; 15 per side]
  5. Round 5: Repeat Round 3. [76 dc; 19 per side] Block to approximately 12 cm; change hook size if necessary. Each contrasting frame creates a geometric outline.

Twenty-petal rolled rose

  1. Ch 41. Row 1: sc in second chain and across [40]. Row 2: ch 1, turn; (sl st in next stitch, 7 dc in next) twenty times [20 petals, 140 dc and 20 sl sts]. Fasten off with a long sewing tail.
  2. Roll from one short end, keeping the foundation edges aligned at the bottom. Sew through every foundation layer as you roll, then stitch across the base in three directions. Spread outer petals gently. Make one rose per square and stitch its base to the ground around its perimeter and through the center; catch four outer petal bases so the rose cannot flip.
  3. Use two close shades of the listed red or green for subtle petal depth, with the ground in the same dark color family.
  4. Weigh the complete rose-on-square sample; dimensional roses add significant bulk and yarn use. The written rose is a separate securely sewn flower and does not claim to recreate the exact integrated rosette fabric in the reference.

Layout, joining and border

  1. Make 168 identical motifs. Block each to the same measured square width W. Lay out 12 columns by 14 rows; approximate finished size before borders is 12W by 14W. At W = 12 cm this is 144 × 168 cm; choose the motif size and layout from the actual bed measurements.

Adjust only at seam junctions to keep the border flat. Round 2: sc in each stitch, (sc, ch 2, sc) at each corner. Round 3: repeat Round 2. Record the actual perimeter count because motif layouts and seam junctions change it.
  4. For a cushion front, make a separate 3 × 3 motif panel. Sew three sides to a same-size fabric backing and use an envelope fabric overlap on the fourth side. The insert is purchased; there is no hidden crochet backing pattern.

Measured size and matching cushions

Make their product in motifs. The 12 by 14 example uses 168 motifs: at W = 16 cm it is about 192 by 224 cm; at W = 12 cm only 144 by 168 cm, before borders. Recalculate instead of assuming every motif makes a bed-size cover.
  2. For two pillow fronts make eighteen additional motifs in two separate 3 by 3 panels. Sew each crochet front to a measured fabric envelope back and fit a purchased insert before closing the last seams. Weigh the washed finished motif, multiply by actual motif count, and add 15-20% for seams and edging.

Assembly and finishing

  1. Check all counts before joining. Weave ends through several stitches in three directions. Sew point joins more than once and distribute tension evenly.
  2. Wash a sample using the yarn care instructions, block gently and allow it to dry completely. Recheck fit or motif size after washing. These original patterns are photo-inspired and physically untested; they do not reproduce a verified photographed chart.

  4. Round 7: Dc in each dc and (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in each corner [52 dc]. Round 8: sc in each dc and (sc, ch 2, sc) in each corner [60 sc, four corners]. Block square. Choose the center, petal and frame shades from the stated palette. Use the palest framing color on the last round unless the reference has a contrasting dark outer frame.

Layout, joining and border

  1. Make 168 identical motifs. Block each to the same measured square width W. Lay out 12 columns by 14 rows; approximate finished size before borders is 12W by 14W. At W = 12 cm this is 144 × 168 cm; choose the motif size and layout from the actual bed measurements.
  2. With right sides together, whipstitch matching edge stitches through the outside loops. Join all vertical seams, then all horizontal seams. Match corresponding corners and leave no unsupported gap between four motifs.
  3. Border Round 1: sc in each exposed stitch, one sc in each ch-1 space and two sc in each ch-2 space; at the four outside corners work (sc, ch 2, sc). Adjust only at seam junctions to keep the border flat. Round 2: sc in each stitch, (sc, ch 2, sc) at each corner. Round 3: repeat Round 2. Record the actual perimeter count because motif layouts and seam junctions change it.
  4. For a cushion front, make a separate 3 × 3 motif panel. Sew three sides to a same-size fabric backing and use an envelope fabric overlap on the fourth side. The insert is purchased; there is no hidden crochet backing pattern.

Measured size and matching cushions

  1. Measure mattress width and length plus the desired side and foot drops. With washed motif width W, columns = ceil(required width/W) and rows = ceil(required length/W). Make their product in motifs. The 12 by 14 example uses 168 motifs: at W = 16 cm it is about 192 by 224 cm; at W = 12 cm only 144 by 168 cm, before borders. Recalculate instead of assuming every motif makes a bed-size cover.
  2. For two pillow fronts make eighteen additional motifs in two separate 3 by 3 panels. Sew each crochet front to a measured fabric envelope back and fit a purchased insert before closing the last seams. Weigh the washed finished motif, multiply by actual motif count, and add 15-20% for seams and edging.

Assembly and finishing

  1. Check all counts before joining. Weave ends through several stitches in three directions. Sew point joins more than once and distribute tension evenly.
  2. Wash a sample using the yarn care instructions, block gently and allow it to dry completely. Recheck fit or motif size after washing. These original patterns are photo-inspired and physically untested; they do not reproduce a verified photographed chart.

14. Navy and Rust Spiral Medallion Bedspread

Navy and Rust Spiral Medallion Bedspread in navy, rust, gold and cream
Navy and Rust Spiral Medallion Bedspread – supplied reference for an original, physically untested interpretation.

This reference combines navy, rust, gold and cream in a navy and rust spiral medallion bedspread. The counted construction below interprets its main motif and arrangement.

Materials, gauge and size

Smooth DK cotton, cotton blend or washable wool, approximately 1,800-3,500 g for a full bedspread or 500-1,200 g for a smaller throw. Colors: navy, rust, gold and cream. Hook: 3.5-4.5 mm; use a smaller hook or finer yarn for appliques if needed. Quantities are estimates: weigh a washed complete motif, multiply by actual component count and add 15-20% for seams and edging.

Also use a yarn needle, scissors, stitch markers, measuring tape and blocking pins. Add measured fabric backs, sewing thread and purchased inserts for optional cushions.

Gauge and size: start near 16 dc by 9 rows or 20 sc by 22 rows per 10 cm as provisional swatches only. Measure a complete washed motif and the actual bed. Circle, hexagon, octagon and diagonal layouts require a multi-motif trial patch; one square measurement cannot establish their final geometry.

Palette and sample plan

  1. Palette: navy, rust, gold and cream. Choose a contrasting center, the main flower or geometric shade and a framing color from that palette. Use the palest shade for the outer lace unless the reference has a dark outline. Write down the chosen round-by-round colors after the first sample so the whole set stays consistent.
  2. The written motif may simplify the reference. Work one complete motif and one join before multiplying pieces. Keep all border stitches accessible, sew appliques flat and record every size or color change. Close views and color variations use the same counted construction intentionally.

Two-color spiral disc

  1. Work in a continuous spiral with two active loops, one per color. Use removable holders so neither loop is lost. In a magic ring, color A works sc, hdc, 4 dc; park the loop. Join B in the same ring and work sc, hdc, 4 dc; tighten ring [12 stitches total, 6 per color].
  2. Round 2: with A, work 2 dc into each of the six B stitches, stopping at the parked B loop [12 A dc]. With B work 2 dc into each of the six original A stitches, stopping at the parked A loop [12 B dc; 24 total]. Keep the two advancing color boundaries marked.
  3. Round 3: each color works (dc in next stitch, 2 dc in next) six times into the other color’s twelve stitches [18 per color; 36 total]. Round 4: each works (dc in next 2, 2 dc in next) six times [24 per color; 48 total]. Round 5: each works (dc in next 3, 2 dc in next) six times [30 per color; 60 total].
  4. Round 6: each color works (dc in next 4, 2 dc in next) six times [36 per color; 72 total]. Taper each color by replacing its last three dc with hdc, sc, sl st; count the sl st as a position in this round. Fasten off both loops.

Round medallion rim

  1. Do not work the square frame: the spiral core above ends at 72 counted positions, including its tapered final sl sts. Join the border color. Round 7: (sc in next position, ch 3, skip 2) twenty-four times [24 anchors and 24 arches]. Round 8: in each arch work (sc, hdc, 3 dc, hdc, sc), then sl st in next anchor [24 seven-stitch scallops]. Fasten off.
  2. For a single-color photo use two close shades of that color, or two balls of the same shade. The two active strands are a construction method, not a required color contrast. Block a complete medallion and record diameter D.

Joining circular motifs

  1. Example: 168 circles in twelve columns and fourteen rows. At D = 16 cm the body is roughly 192 by 224 cm, with open gaps at four-circle junctions. Recalculate using the actual blocked diameter and the measured bed. Make a four-circle trial patch before multiplying the units.
  2. Mark Scallops 1, 7, 13 and 19 on each circle. Sew opposite marked scallops of neighboring circles at two edge points, reinforcing each join. At each four-circle junction make four equal ch-5 bridges linking the neighboring inner scallop tips into a small square; work one sc back along each bridge. Lengthen all four bridges equally if five chains pull the patch inward, and use that measured count at every matching junction.
  3. Weave tails through both neighboring units. Leave outside scallops visible or sc along the exposed outer stitches without forcing a straight outline. For a cushion front join nine circles in a 3 by 3 arrangement and sew to a measured fabric backing. This circular network is an original interpretation of the photographed spiral joins.

Assembly and finishing

  1. Check all counts before joining. Weave ends through several stitches in three directions. Sew point joins more than once and distribute tension evenly.
  2. Wash a sample using the yarn care instructions, block gently and allow it to dry completely. Recheck fit or motif size after washing. These original patterns are photo-inspired and physically untested; they do not reproduce a verified photographed chart.

  3. Round 3: each color works (dc in next stitch, 2 dc in next) six times into the other color’s twelve stitches [18 per color; 36 total]. Round 4: each works (dc in next 2, 2 dc in next) six times [24 per color; 48 total]. Round 5: each works (dc in next 3, 2 dc in next) six times [30 per color; 60 total].

  2. The written motif may simplify the reference. Work one complete motif and one join before multiplying pieces. Keep all border stitches accessible, sew appliques flat and record every size or color change. Close views and color variations use the same counted construction intentionally.

Square background

  1. Round 1: In a magic ring work (3 dc, ch 2) four times; join to the first dc. [12 dc, four ch-2 corners]
  2. Round 2: Join the second color in a corner. Work (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in each corner and 1 dc in each of the three side stitches; join. [28 dc, four ch-2 corners; seven dc per side]
  3. Round 3: With the third color, work 1 dc in each dc and (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in each corner; join. [44 dc; 11 per side]
  4. Round 4: Repeat Round 3. [60 dc; 15 per side]
  5. Round 5: Repeat Round 3. [76 dc; 19 per side] Block to approximately 12 cm; change hook size if necessary. Each contrasting frame creates a geometric outline.

Striped hourglass applique

  1. Make two trapezoids per square. Ch 20. Row 1: sc in second chain and across [19]. Row 2: sc2tog, 15 sc, sc2tog [17]. Row 3: sc2tog, 13 sc, sc2tog [15]. Continue decreasing once at each end on Rows 4-7 [13, 11, 9, 7]. Ch 1 and turn at every sc row. Change stripe color after each row if desired.
  2. Place one wide edge toward the square top and one toward the bottom, with both seven-stitch narrow ends toward the center. Connector: ch 8, sc across [7] for twelve rows. Measure the connector between the narrow ends and add or remove whole rows to fit the background without stretching. Sew narrow ends to connector ends, then sew the complete applique outline flat.
  3. Keep all square border stitches free. If the trapezoid is wider than the square interior, use a finer hook or yarn for the applique before production. Center disc: 6 sc in magic ring, then increase in every stitch [12]; fasten off and sew over the connector middle. This applique method suggests the hourglass color arrangement rather than an exact integrated motif.

Layout, joining and border

  1. Make 168 identical motifs. Block each to the same measured square width W. Lay out 12 columns by 14 rows; approximate finished size before borders is 12W by 14W. At W = 12 cm this is 144 × 168 cm; choose the motif size and layout from the actual bed measurements.

18. Burgundy and Mustard Hourglass Bedspread

Burgundy and Mustard Hourglass Bedspread in burgundy, mustard, rust and cream
Burgundy and Mustard Hourglass Bedspread – supplied reference for an original, physically untested interpretation.

This reference combines burgundy, mustard, rust and cream in a burgundy and mustard hourglass bedspread. The counted construction below interprets its main motif and arrangement.

Materials, gauge and size

Smooth DK cotton, cotton blend or washable wool, approximately 1,800-3,500 g for a full bedspread or 500-1,200 g for a smaller throw. Colors: burgundy, mustard, rust and cream. Hook: 3.5-4.5 mm; use a smaller hook or finer yarn for appliques if needed. Quantities are estimates: weigh a washed complete motif, multiply by actual component count and add 15-20% for seams and edging.

Also use a yarn needle, scissors, stitch markers, measuring tape and blocking pins. Add measured fabric backs, sewing thread and purchased inserts for optional cushions.

Gauge and size: start near 16 dc by 9 rows or 20 sc by 22 rows per 10 cm as provisional swatches only. Measure a complete washed motif and the actual bed. Circle, hexagon, octagon and diagonal layouts require a multi-motif trial patch; one square measurement cannot establish their final geometry.

Palette and sample plan

  1. Palette: burgundy, mustard, rust and cream. Choose a contrasting center, the main flower or geometric shade and a framing color from that palette. Use the palest shade for the outer lace unless the reference has a dark outline. Write down the chosen round-by-round colors after the first sample so the whole set stays consistent.
  2. The written motif may simplify the reference. Work one complete motif and one join before multiplying pieces. Keep all border stitches accessible, sew appliques flat and record every size or color change. Close views and color variations use the same counted construction intentionally.

Square background

  1. Round 1: In a magic ring work (3 dc, ch 2) four times; join to the first dc. [12 dc, four ch-2 corners]
  2. Round 2: Join the second color in a corner. Work (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in each corner and 1 dc in each of the three side stitches; join. [28 dc, four ch-2 corners; seven dc per side]
  3. Round 3: With the third color, work 1 dc in each dc and (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in each corner; join. [44 dc; 11 per side]
  4. Round 4: Repeat Round 3. [60 dc; 15 per side]
  5. Round 5: Repeat Round 3. [76 dc; 19 per side] Block to approximately 12 cm; change hook size if necessary. Each contrasting frame creates a geometric outline.

Striped hourglass applique

  1. Make two trapezoids per square. Ch 20. Row 1: sc in second chain and across [19]. Row 2: sc2tog, 15 sc, sc2tog [17]. Row 3: sc2tog, 13 sc, sc2tog [15]. Continue decreasing once at each end on Rows 4-7 [13, 11, 9, 7]. Ch 1 and turn at every sc row. Change stripe color after each row if desired.
  2. Place one wide edge toward the square top and one toward the bottom, with both seven-stitch narrow ends toward the center. Connector: ch 8, sc across [7] for twelve rows. Measure the connector between the narrow ends and add or remove whole rows to fit the background without stretching. Sew narrow ends to connector ends, then sew the complete applique outline flat.
  3. Keep all square border stitches free. If the trapezoid is wider than the square interior, use a finer hook or yarn for the applique before production. Center disc: 6 sc in magic ring, then increase in every stitch [12]; fasten off and sew over the connector middle. This applique method suggests the hourglass color arrangement rather than an exact integrated motif.

Layout, joining and border

  1. Make 168 identical motifs. Block each to the same measured square width W. Lay out 12 columns by 14 rows; approximate finished size before borders is 12W by 14W. At W = 12 cm this is 144 × 168 cm; choose the motif size and layout from the actual bed measurements.
  2. With right sides together, whipstitch matching edge stitches through the outside loops. Join all vertical seams, then all horizontal seams. Match corresponding corners and leave no unsupported gap between four motifs.
  3. Border Round 1: sc in each exposed stitch, one sc in each ch-1 space and two sc in each ch-2 space; at the four outside corners work (sc, ch 2, sc). Adjust only at seam junctions to keep the border flat. Round 2: sc in each stitch, (sc, ch 2, sc) at each corner. Round 3: repeat Round 2. Record the actual perimeter count because motif layouts and seam junctions change it.
  4. For a cushion front, make a separate 3 × 3 motif panel. Sew three sides to a same-size fabric backing and use an envelope fabric overlap on the fourth side. The insert is purchased; there is no hidden crochet backing pattern.

Measured size and matching cushions

  1. Measure mattress width and length plus the desired side and foot drops. With washed motif width W, columns = ceil(required width/W) and rows = ceil(required length/W). Make their product in motifs. The 12 by 14 example uses 168 motifs: at W = 16 cm it is about 192 by 224 cm; at W = 12 cm only 144 by 168 cm, before borders. Recalculate instead of assuming every motif makes a bed-size cover.
  2. For two pillow fronts make eighteen additional motifs in two separate 3 by 3 panels. Sew each crochet front to a measured fabric envelope back and fit a purchased insert before closing the last seams. Weigh the washed finished motif, multiply by actual motif count, and add 15-20% for seams and edging.

Assembly and finishing

  1. Check all counts before joining. Weave ends through several stitches in three directions. Sew point joins more than once and distribute tension evenly.
  2. Wash a sample using the yarn care instructions, block gently and allow it to dry completely. Recheck fit or motif size after washing. These original patterns are photo-inspired and physically untested; they do not reproduce a verified photographed chart.

19. Forest Green Daisy Bedspread

Forest Green Daisy Bedspread in forest green, sage and ivory
Forest Green Daisy Bedspread – supplied reference for an original, physically untested interpretation.

This reference combines forest green, sage and ivory in a forest green daisy bedspread. The counted construction below interprets its main motif and arrangement.

Materials, gauge and size

Smooth DK cotton, cotton blend or washable wool, approximately 1,800-3,500 g for a full bedspread or 500-1,200 g for a smaller throw. Colors: forest green, sage and ivory. Hook: 3.5-4.5 mm; use a smaller hook or finer yarn for appliques if needed. Quantities are estimates: weigh a washed complete motif, multiply by actual component count and add 15-20% for seams and edging.

Also use a yarn needle, scissors, stitch markers, measuring tape and blocking pins. Add measured fabric backs, sewing thread and purchased inserts for optional cushions.

Gauge and size: start near 16 dc by 9 rows or 20 sc by 22 rows per 10 cm as provisional swatches only. Measure a complete washed motif and the actual bed. Circle, hexagon, octagon and diagonal layouts require a multi-motif trial patch; one square measurement cannot establish their final geometry.

Palette and sample plan

  1. Palette: forest green, sage and ivory. Choose a contrasting center, the main flower or geometric shade and a framing color from that palette. Use the palest shade for the outer lace unless the reference has a dark outline. Write down the chosen round-by-round colors after the first sample so the whole set stays consistent.
  2. The written motif may simplify the reference. Work one complete motif and one join before multiplying pieces. Keep all border stitches accessible, sew appliques flat and record every size or color change. Close views and color variations use the same counted construction intentionally.

Two-layer flower square

  1. Round 1: With the center color work 8 sc in a magic ring; join [8]. Round 2: in each sc work (sc, ch 3, dc, ch 3, sl st) [eight small petals].
  2. Round 3: Behind the petals, sc around each Round-1 sc post, ch 5 after each sc [eight anchors, eight loops]. Round 4: into each loop work (sc, hdc, 5 dc, hdc, sc), then sl st into the next anchor sc [eight outer petals, nine stitches per petal plus eight anchor sl sts].
  3. Round 5: Behind the outer petals, sc around each Round-3 anchor post and ch 5 after each sc [eight anchors and eight loops]. Round 6: (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in first loop, 3 dc in next loop; repeat four times [36 dc, four corners].
  4. Round 7: Dc in each dc and (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in each corner [52 dc]. Round 8: sc in each dc and (sc, ch 2, sc) in each corner [60 sc, four corners]. Block square. Choose the center, petal and frame shades from the stated palette. Use the palest framing color on the last round unless the reference has a contrasting dark outer frame.

Layout, joining and border

  1. Make 168 identical motifs. Block each to the same measured square width W. Lay out 12 columns by 14 rows; approximate finished size before borders is 12W by 14W. At W = 12 cm this is 144 × 168 cm; choose the motif size and layout from the actual bed measurements.
  2. With right sides together, whipstitch matching edge stitches through the outside loops. Join all vertical seams, then all horizontal seams. Match corresponding corners and leave no unsupported gap between four motifs.
  3. Border Round 1: sc in each exposed stitch, one sc in each ch-1 space and two sc in each ch-2 space; at the four outside corners work (sc, ch 2, sc). Adjust only at seam junctions to keep the border flat. Round 2: sc in each stitch, (sc, ch 2, sc) at each corner. Round 3: repeat Round 2. Record the actual perimeter count because motif layouts and seam junctions change it.
  4. For a cushion front, make a separate 3 × 3 motif panel. Sew three sides to a same-size fabric backing and use an envelope fabric overlap on the fourth side. The insert is purchased; there is no hidden crochet backing pattern.

Measured size and matching cushions

  1. Measure mattress width and length plus the desired side and foot drops. With washed motif width W, columns = ceil(required width/W) and rows = ceil(required length/W). Make their product in motifs. The 12 by 14 example uses 168 motifs: at W = 16 cm it is about 192 by 224 cm; at W = 12 cm only 144 by 168 cm, before borders. Recalculate instead of assuming every motif makes a bed-size cover.
  2. For two pillow fronts make eighteen additional motifs in two separate 3 by 3 panels. Sew each crochet front to a measured fabric envelope back and fit a purchased insert before closing the last seams. Weigh the washed finished motif, multiply by actual motif count, and add 15-20% for seams and edging.

Square ground

  1. Round 1: In a magic ring work (3 dc, ch 2) four times; join to the first dc. [12 dc, four ch-2 corners]
  2. Round 2: Join the second color in a corner. Work (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in each corner and 1 dc in each of the three side stitches; join. [28 dc, four ch-2 corners; seven dc per side]
  3. Round 3: With the third color, work 1 dc in each dc and (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in each corner; join. [44 dc; 11 per side]
  4. Round 4: Repeat Round 3. [60 dc; 15 per side]
  5. Round 5: Repeat Round 3. [76 dc; 19 per side] Block to approximately 12 cm; change hook size if necessary. Each contrasting frame creates a geometric outline.

Counted oval leaf

  1. Ch 13. Starting in the second chain work sc, hdc, dc in each of the next 8 chains, hdc, then 3 sc in the last chain. Rotate; work into the unused chain loops: hdc, dc in each of the next 8 chains, hdc, sc. Join to the first sc. [25 stitches]
  2. Ch 1; sl st loosely into each stitch around. Fasten off with a long tail. Sew only through the underside of the leaf edge to attach, keeping the center flexible.

Four-leaf arrangement

  1. Make four 25-stitch leaves per square. Point their narrow stem ends toward the center and their tips toward the four corners, leaving the joining border free. Use a smaller hook or finer yarn if the leaf extends past the frame; do not tuck excess fabric under a seam.
  2. Sew each full outline to the ground, embroider a loose central vein and cover the four bases with a center disc: 6 sc in magic ring, then increase around [12]. Sew the disc around its full outline. This leaf applique simplifies the reference openwork.
  3. For a lighter alternate ground use the counted filet square below, measuring it to the same width before sewing leaves. Attach applique stitches to firm dc posts rather than stretching unsupported chain holes.

Diamond filet square

  1. Ch 27. Row 1: Dc in fourth chain and across; skipped ch 3 counts as the first dc. [25 dc; eight cells of three positions plus one boundary dc]
  2. An open cell is ch 2, skip 2, dc in next stitch. A filled cell is dc in each of the next three positions. Above a chain space, a filled cell is 2 dc in the space and dc in its following dc. Begin each row with ch 3 as the counted boundary dc. Every row has eight cells, or 25 stitch/chain positions.
  3. Rows 2–13: Keep cells 1 and 8 filled as side borders. Fill the following center cells and leave the rest open: Row 2 cells 4–5; Row 3 cells 3–6; Row 4 cells 2–7; Row 5 cells 3–6; Row 6 cells 4–5; Rows 7–8 no extra filled cells; Row 9 cells 4–5; Row 10 cells 3–6; Row 11 cells 2–7; Row 12 cells 3–6; Row 13 cells 4–5.
  4. Row 14: Ch 3, turn; fill all eight cells. [25 dc] Edge with sc across the top and bottom, 2 sc per dc row-end on the sides, and 3 sc at corners. Block all units to one measured square size; add plain rows only if the washed sample needs more height.

Layout, joining and border

  1. Make 168 identical motifs. Block each to the same measured square width W. Lay out 12 columns by 14 rows; approximate finished size before borders is 12W by 14W. At W = 12 cm this is 144 × 168 cm; choose the motif size and layout from the actual bed measurements.
  2. With right sides together, whipstitch matching edge stitches through the outside loops. Join all vertical seams, then all horizontal seams. Match corresponding corners and leave no unsupported gap between four motifs.
  3. Border Round 1: sc in each exposed stitch, one sc in each ch-1 space and two sc in each ch-2 space; at the four outside corners work (sc, ch 2, sc). Adjust only at seam junctions to keep the border flat. Round 2: sc in each stitch, (sc, ch 2, sc) at each corner. Round 3: repeat Round 2. Record the actual perimeter count because motif layouts and seam junctions change it.
  4. For a cushion front, make a separate 3 × 3 motif panel. Sew three sides to a same-size fabric backing and use an envelope fabric overlap on the fourth side. The insert is purchased; there is no hidden crochet backing pattern.

  1. Make two trapezoids per square. Ch 20. Row 1: sc in second chain and across [19]. Row 2: sc2tog, 15 sc, sc2tog [17]. Row 3: sc2tog, 13 sc, sc2tog [15]. Continue decreasing once at each end on Rows 4-7 [13, 11, 9, 7]. Ch 1 and turn at every sc row. Change stripe color after each row if desired.
  2. Place one wide edge toward the square top and one toward the bottom, with both seven-stitch narrow ends toward the center. Connector: ch 8, sc across [7] for twelve rows. Measure the connector between the narrow ends and add or remove whole rows to fit the background without stretching. Sew narrow ends to connector ends, then sew the complete applique outline flat.
  3. Keep all square border stitches free. If the trapezoid is wider than the square interior, use a finer hook or yarn for the applique before production. Center disc: 6 sc in magic ring, then increase in every stitch [12]; fasten off and sew over the connector middle. This applique method suggests the hourglass color arrangement rather than an exact integrated motif.

Layout, joining and border

  1. Make 168 identical motifs. Block each to the same measured square width W. Lay out 12 columns by 14 rows; approximate finished size before borders is 12W by 14W. At W = 12 cm this is 144 × 168 cm; choose the motif size and layout from the actual bed measurements.
  2. With right sides together, whipstitch matching edge stitches through the outside loops. Join all vertical seams, then all horizontal seams. Match corresponding corners and leave no unsupported gap between four motifs.
  3. Border Round 1: sc in each exposed stitch, one sc in each ch-1 space and two sc in each ch-2 space; at the four outside corners work (sc, ch 2, sc). Adjust only at seam junctions to keep the border flat. Round 2: sc in each stitch, (sc, ch 2, sc) at each corner. Round 3: repeat Round 2. Record the actual perimeter count because motif layouts and seam junctions change it.
  4. For a cushion front, make a separate 3 × 3 motif panel. Sew three sides to a same-size fabric backing and use an envelope fabric overlap on the fourth side. The insert is purchased; there is no hidden crochet backing pattern.

Measured size and matching cushions

  1. Measure mattress width and length plus the desired side and foot drops. With washed motif width W, columns = ceil(required width/W) and rows = ceil(required length/W). Make their product in motifs. The 12 by 14 example uses 168 motifs: at W = 16 cm it is about 192 by 224 cm; at W = 12 cm only 144 by 168 cm, before borders. Recalculate instead of assuming every motif makes a bed-size cover.
  2. For two pillow fronts make eighteen additional motifs in two separate 3 by 3 panels. Sew each crochet front to a measured fabric envelope back and fit a purchased insert before closing the last seams. Weigh the washed finished motif, multiply by actual motif count, and add 15-20% for seams and edging.

Assembly and finishing

  1. Check all counts before joining. Weave ends through several stitches in three directions. Sew point joins more than once and distribute tension evenly.
  2. Wash a sample using the yarn care instructions, block gently and allow it to dry completely. Recheck fit or motif size after washing. These original patterns are photo-inspired and physically untested; they do not reproduce a verified photographed chart.

25. Sunflower-Square Throw with Cream Border

Sunflower-Square Throw with Cream Border in gold, brown, sage and cream
Sunflower-Square Throw with Cream Border – supplied reference for an original, physically untested interpretation.

This reference combines gold, brown, sage and cream in a sunflower-square throw with cream border. The counted construction below interprets its main motif and arrangement.

Materials, gauge and size

Smooth DK cotton, cotton blend or washable wool, approximately 1,800-3,500 g for a full bedspread or 500-1,200 g for a smaller throw. Colors: gold, brown, sage and cream. Hook: 3.5-4.5 mm; use a smaller hook or finer yarn for appliques if needed. Quantities are estimates: weigh a washed complete motif, multiply by actual component count and add 15-20% for seams and edging.

Also use a yarn needle, scissors, stitch markers, measuring tape and blocking pins. Add measured fabric backs, sewing thread and purchased inserts for optional cushions.

Gauge and size: start near 16 dc by 9 rows or 20 sc by 22 rows per 10 cm as provisional swatches only. Measure a complete washed motif and the actual bed. Circle, hexagon, octagon and diagonal layouts require a multi-motif trial patch; one square measurement cannot establish their final geometry.

Palette and sample plan

  1. Palette: gold, brown, sage and cream. Choose a contrasting center, the main flower or geometric shade and a framing color from that palette. Use the palest shade for the outer lace unless the reference has a dark outline. Write down the chosen round-by-round colors after the first sample so the whole set stays consistent.
  2. The written motif may simplify the reference. Work one complete motif and one join before multiplying pieces. Keep all border stitches accessible, sew appliques flat and record every size or color change. Close views and color variations use the same counted construction intentionally.

Two-layer flower square

  1. Round 1: With the center color work 8 sc in a magic ring; join [8]. Round 2: in each sc work (sc, ch 3, dc, ch 3, sl st) [eight small petals].
  2. Round 3: Behind the petals, sc around each Round-1 sc post, ch 5 after each sc [eight anchors, eight loops]. Round 4: into each loop work (sc, hdc, 5 dc, hdc, sc), then sl st into the next anchor sc [eight outer petals, nine stitches per petal plus eight anchor sl sts].
  3. Round 5: Behind the outer petals, sc around each Round-3 anchor post and ch 5 after each sc [eight anchors and eight loops]. Round 6: (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in first loop, 3 dc in next loop; repeat four times [36 dc, four corners].
  4. Round 7: Dc in each dc and (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in each corner [52 dc]. Round 8: sc in each dc and (sc, ch 2, sc) in each corner [60 sc, four corners]. Block square. Choose the center, petal and frame shades from the stated palette. Use the palest framing color on the last round unless the reference has a contrasting dark outer frame.

Sunflower-style palette

  1. Use brown or rust for the eight-sc center, gold for both petal layers, sage behind the flower and cream for the final frame. This eight-petal original interpretation suggests a sunflower without claiming the exact many-petal photo motif.

Square ground

  1. Round 1: In a magic ring work (3 dc, ch 2) four times; join to the first dc. [12 dc, four ch-2 corners]
  2. Round 2: Join the second color in a corner. Work (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in each corner and 1 dc in each of the three side stitches; join. [28 dc, four ch-2 corners; seven dc per side]
  3. Round 3: With the third color, work 1 dc in each dc and (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in each corner; join. [44 dc; 11 per side]
  4. Round 4: Repeat Round 3. [60 dc; 15 per side]
  5. Round 5: Repeat Round 3. [76 dc; 19 per side] Block to approximately 12 cm; change hook size if necessary. Each contrasting frame creates a geometric outline.

Counted oval leaf

  1. Ch 13. Starting in the second chain work sc, hdc, dc in each of the next 8 chains, hdc, then 3 sc in the last chain. Rotate; work into the unused chain loops: hdc, dc in each of the next 8 chains, hdc, sc. Join to the first sc. [25 stitches]
  2. Ch 1; sl st loosely into each stitch around. Fasten off with a long tail. Sew only through the underside of the leaf edge to attach, keeping the center flexible.

Four-leaf arrangement

  1. Make four 25-stitch leaves per square. Point their narrow stem ends toward the center and their tips toward the four corners, leaving the joining border free. Use a smaller hook or finer yarn if the leaf extends past the frame; do not tuck excess fabric under a seam.
  2. Sew each full outline to the ground, embroider a loose central vein and cover the four bases with a center disc: 6 sc in magic ring, then increase around [12]. Sew the disc around its full outline. This leaf applique simplifies the reference openwork.
  3. For a lighter alternate ground use the counted filet square below, measuring it to the same width before sewing leaves. Attach applique stitches to firm dc posts rather than stretching unsupported chain holes.

Diamond filet square

  1. Ch 27. Row 1: Dc in fourth chain and across; skipped ch 3 counts as the first dc. [25 dc; eight cells of three positions plus one boundary dc]
  2. An open cell is ch 2, skip 2, dc in next stitch. A filled cell is dc in each of the next three positions. Above a chain space, a filled cell is 2 dc in the space and dc in its following dc. Begin each row with ch 3 as the counted boundary dc. Every row has eight cells, or 25 stitch/chain positions.
  3. Rows 2–13: Keep cells 1 and 8 filled as side borders. Fill the following center cells and leave the rest open: Row 2 cells 4–5; Row 3 cells 3–6; Row 4 cells 2–7; Row 5 cells 3–6; Row 6 cells 4–5; Rows 7–8 no extra filled cells; Row 9 cells 4–5; Row 10 cells 3–6; Row 11 cells 2–7; Row 12 cells 3–6; Row 13 cells 4–5.
  4. Row 14: Ch 3, turn; fill all eight cells. [25 dc] Edge with sc across the top and bottom, 2 sc per dc row-end on the sides, and 3 sc at corners. Block all units to one measured square size; add plain rows only if the washed sample needs more height.

Layout, joining and border

  1. Make 168 identical motifs. Block each to the same measured square width W. Lay out 12 columns by 14 rows; approximate finished size before borders is 12W by 14W. At W = 12 cm this is 144 × 168 cm; choose the motif size and layout from the actual bed measurements.
  2. With right sides together, whipstitch matching edge stitches through the outside loops. Join all vertical seams, then all horizontal seams. Match corresponding corners and leave no unsupported gap between four motifs.
  3. Border Round 1: sc in each exposed stitch, one sc in each ch-1 space and two sc in each ch-2 space; at the four outside corners work (sc, ch 2, sc). Adjust only at seam junctions to keep the border flat. Round 2: sc in each stitch, (sc, ch 2, sc) at each corner. Round 3: repeat Round 2. Record the actual perimeter count because motif layouts and seam junctions change it.
  4. For a cushion front, make a separate 3 × 3 motif panel. Sew three sides to a same-size fabric backing and use an envelope fabric overlap on the fourth side. The insert is purchased; there is no hidden crochet backing pattern.

Measured size and matching cushions

  1. Measure mattress width and length plus the desired side and foot drops. With washed motif width W, columns = ceil(required width/W) and rows = ceil(required length/W). Make their product in motifs. The 12 by 14 example uses 168 motifs: at W = 16 cm it is about 192 by 224 cm; at W = 12 cm only 144 by 168 cm, before borders. Recalculate instead of assuming every motif makes a bed-size cover.
  2. For two pillow fronts make eighteen additional motifs in two separate 3 by 3 panels. Sew each crochet front to a measured fabric envelope back and fit a purchased insert before closing the last seams. Weigh the washed finished motif, multiply by actual motif count, and add 15-20% for seams and edging.

Assembly and finishing

  1. Check all counts before joining. Weave ends through several stitches in three directions. Sew point joins more than once and distribute tension evenly.
  2. Wash a sample using the yarn care instructions, block gently and allow it to dry completely. Recheck fit or motif size after washing. These original patterns are photo-inspired and physically untested; they do not reproduce a verified photographed chart.

30. Navy and Sage Spiral Bedspread

Navy and Sage Spiral Bedspread in navy, sage, pale blue and cream
Navy and Sage Spiral Bedspread – supplied reference for an original, physically untested interpretation.

This reference combines navy, sage, pale blue and cream in a navy and sage spiral bedspread. The counted construction below interprets its main motif and arrangement.

Materials, gauge and size

Smooth DK cotton, cotton blend or washable wool, approximately 1,800-3,500 g for a full bedspread or 500-1,200 g for a smaller throw. Colors: navy, sage, pale blue and cream. Hook: 3.5-4.5 mm; use a smaller hook or finer yarn for appliques if needed. Quantities are estimates: weigh a washed complete motif, multiply by actual component count and add 15-20% for seams and edging.

Also use a yarn needle, scissors, stitch markers, measuring tape and blocking pins. Add measured fabric backs, sewing thread and purchased inserts for optional cushions.

Gauge and size: start near 16 dc by 9 rows or 20 sc by 22 rows per 10 cm as provisional swatches only. Measure a complete washed motif and the actual bed. Circle, hexagon, octagon and diagonal layouts require a multi-motif trial patch; one square measurement cannot establish their final geometry.

Palette and sample plan

  1. Palette: navy, sage, pale blue and cream. Choose a contrasting center, the main flower or geometric shade and a framing color from that palette. Use the palest shade for the outer lace unless the reference has a dark outline. Write down the chosen round-by-round colors after the first sample so the whole set stays consistent.
  2. The written motif may simplify the reference. Work one complete motif and one join before multiplying pieces. Keep all border stitches accessible, sew appliques flat and record every size or color change. Close views and color variations use the same counted construction intentionally.

Two-color spiral disc

  1. Work in a continuous spiral with two active loops, one per color. Use removable holders so neither loop is lost. In a magic ring, color A works sc, hdc, 4 dc; park the loop. Join B in the same ring and work sc, hdc, 4 dc; tighten ring [12 stitches total, 6 per color].
  2. Round 2: with A, work 2 dc into each of the six B stitches, stopping at the parked B loop [12 A dc]. With B work 2 dc into each of the six original A stitches, stopping at the parked A loop [12 B dc; 24 total]. Keep the two advancing color boundaries marked.
  3. Round 3: each color works (dc in next stitch, 2 dc in next) six times into the other color’s twelve stitches [18 per color; 36 total]. Round 4: each works (dc in next 2, 2 dc in next) six times [24 per color; 48 total]. Round 5: each works (dc in next 3, 2 dc in next) six times [30 per color; 60 total].
  4. Round 6: each color works (dc in next 4, 2 dc in next) six times [36 per color; 72 total]. Taper each color by replacing its last three dc with hdc, sc, sl st; count the sl st as a position in this round. Fasten off both loops.

Round medallion rim

  1. Do not work the square frame: the spiral core above ends at 72 counted positions, including its tapered final sl sts. Join the border color. Round 7: (sc in next position, ch 3, skip 2) twenty-four times [24 anchors and 24 arches]. Round 8: in each arch work (sc, hdc, 3 dc, hdc, sc), then sl st in next anchor [24 seven-stitch scallops]. Fasten off.
  2. For a single-color photo use two close shades of that color, or two balls of the same shade. The two active strands are a construction method, not a required color contrast. Block a complete medallion and record diameter D.

Joining circular motifs

  1. Example: 168 circles in twelve columns and fourteen rows. At D = 16 cm the body is roughly 192 by 224 cm, with open gaps at four-circle junctions. Recalculate using the actual blocked diameter and the measured bed. Make a four-circle trial patch before multiplying the units.
  2. Mark Scallops 1, 7, 13 and 19 on each circle. Sew opposite marked scallops of neighboring circles at two edge points, reinforcing each join. At each four-circle junction make four equal ch-5 bridges linking the neighboring inner scallop tips into a small square; work one sc back along each bridge. Lengthen all four bridges equally if five chains pull the patch inward, and use that measured count at every matching junction.
  3. Weave tails through both neighboring units. Leave outside scallops visible or sc along the exposed outer stitches without forcing a straight outline. For a cushion front join nine circles in a 3 by 3 arrangement and sew to a measured fabric backing. This circular network is an original interpretation of the photographed spiral joins.

Assembly and finishing

  1. Check all counts before joining. Weave ends through several stitches in three directions. Sew point joins more than once and distribute tension evenly.
  2. Wash a sample using the yarn care instructions, block gently and allow it to dry completely. Recheck fit or motif size after washing. These original patterns are photo-inspired and physically untested; they do not reproduce a verified photographed chart.

Two-layer flower square

  1. Round 1: With the center color work 8 sc in a magic ring; join [8]. Round 2: in each sc work (sc, ch 3, dc, ch 3, sl st) [eight small petals].
  2. Round 3: Behind the petals, sc around each Round-1 sc post, ch 5 after each sc [eight anchors, eight loops]. Round 4: into each loop work (sc, hdc, 5 dc, hdc, sc), then sl st into the next anchor sc [eight outer petals, nine stitches per petal plus eight anchor sl sts].

Choose the center, petal and frame shades from the stated palette. Use the palest framing color on the last round unless the reference has a contrasting dark outer frame.

Layout, joining and border

  1. Make 168 identical motifs. Block each to the same measured square width W. Lay out 12 columns by 14 rows; approximate finished size before borders is 12W by 14W. At W = 12 cm this is 144 × 168 cm; choose the motif size and layout from the actual bed measurements.
  2. With right sides together, whipstitch matching edge stitches through the outside loops. Join all vertical seams, then all horizontal seams. Match corresponding corners and leave no unsupported gap between four motifs.
  3. Border Round 1: sc in each exposed stitch, one sc in each ch-1 space and two sc in each ch-2 space; at the four outside corners work (sc, ch 2, sc). Adjust only at seam junctions to keep the border flat. Round 2: sc in each stitch, (sc, ch 2, sc) at each corner. Round 3: repeat Round 2. Record the actual perimeter count because motif layouts and seam junctions change it.

Square ground

  1. Round 1: In a magic ring work (3 dc, ch 2) four times; join to the first dc. [12 dc, four ch-2 corners]
  2. Round 2: Join the second color in a corner. Work (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in each corner and 1 dc in each of the three side stitches; join. [28 dc, four ch-2 corners; seven dc per side]
  3. Round 3: With the third color, work 1 dc in each dc and (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in each corner; join. [44 dc; 11 per side]
  4. Round 4: Repeat Round 3. [60 dc; 15 per side]
  5. Round 5: Repeat Round 3. [76 dc; 19 per side] Block to approximately 12 cm; change hook size if necessary. Each contrasting frame creates a geometric outline.

Counted oval leaf

  1. Ch 13. Starting in the second chain work sc, hdc, dc in each of the next 8 chains, hdc, then 3 sc in the last chain. Rotate; work into the unused chain loops: hdc, dc in each of the next 8 chains, hdc, sc. Join to the first sc. [25 stitches]
  2. Ch 1; sl st loosely into each stitch around. Fasten off with a long tail. Sew only through the underside of the leaf edge to attach, keeping the center flexible.

Four-leaf arrangement

  1. Make four 25-stitch leaves per square. Point their narrow stem ends toward the center and their tips toward the four corners, leaving the joining border free. Use a smaller hook or finer yarn if the leaf extends past the frame; do not tuck excess fabric under a seam.
  2. Sew each full outline to the ground, embroider a loose central vein and cover the four bases with a center disc: 6 sc in magic ring, then increase around [12]. Sew the disc around its full outline. This leaf applique simplifies the reference openwork.
  3. For a lighter alternate ground use the counted filet square below, measuring it to the same width before sewing leaves. Attach applique stitches to firm dc posts rather than stretching unsupported chain holes.

Diamond filet square

  1. Ch 27. Row 1: Dc in fourth chain and across; skipped ch 3 counts as the first dc. [25 dc; eight cells of three positions plus one boundary dc]
  2. An open cell is ch 2, skip 2, dc in next stitch. A filled cell is dc in each of the next three positions. Above a chain space, a filled cell is 2 dc in the space and dc in its following dc. Begin each row with ch 3 as the counted boundary dc. Every row has eight cells, or 25 stitch/chain positions.
  3. Rows 2–13: Keep cells 1 and 8 filled as side borders. Fill the following center cells and leave the rest open: Row 2 cells 4–5; Row 3 cells 3–6; Row 4 cells 2–7; Row 5 cells 3–6; Row 6 cells 4–5; Rows 7–8 no extra filled cells; Row 9 cells 4–5; Row 10 cells 3–6; Row 11 cells 2–7; Row 12 cells 3–6; Row 13 cells 4–5.
  4. Row 14: Ch 3, turn; fill all eight cells. [25 dc] Edge with sc across the top and bottom, 2 sc per dc row-end on the sides, and 3 sc at corners. Block all units to one measured square size; add plain rows only if the washed sample needs more height.

Amber and Gold Spiral Bedspread – supplied reference for an original, physically untested interpretation.

This reference combines amber, gold, ochre and cream in a amber and gold spiral bedspread. The counted construction below interprets its main motif and arrangement.

Materials, gauge and size

Smooth DK cotton, cotton blend or washable wool, approximately 1,800-3,500 g for a full bedspread or 500-1,200 g for a smaller throw. Colors: amber, gold, ochre and cream. Hook: 3.5-4.5 mm; use a smaller hook or finer yarn for appliques if needed. Quantities are estimates: weigh a washed complete motif, multiply by actual component count and add 15-20% for seams and edging.

Also use a yarn needle, scissors, stitch markers, measuring tape and blocking pins. Add measured fabric backs, sewing thread and purchased inserts for optional cushions.

Gauge and size: start near 16 dc by 9 rows or 20 sc by 22 rows per 10 cm as provisional swatches only. Measure a complete washed motif and the actual bed. Circle, hexagon, octagon and diagonal layouts require a multi-motif trial patch; one square measurement cannot establish their final geometry.

Palette and sample plan

  1. Palette: amber, gold, ochre and cream. Choose a contrasting center, the main flower or geometric shade and a framing color from that palette. Use the palest shade for the outer lace unless the reference has a dark outline. Write down the chosen round-by-round colors after the first sample so the whole set stays consistent.
  2. The written motif may simplify the reference. Work one complete motif and one join before multiplying pieces. Keep all border stitches accessible, sew appliques flat and record every size or color change. Close views and color variations use the same counted construction intentionally.

  1. Work in a continuous spiral with two active loops, one per color. Use removable holders so neither loop is lost. In a magic ring, color A works sc, hdc, 4 dc; park the loop. Join B in the same ring and work sc, hdc, 4 dc; tighten ring [12 stitches total, 6 per color].
  2. Round 2: with A, work 2 dc into each of the six B stitches, stopping at the parked B loop [12 A dc]. With B work 2 dc into each of the six original A stitches, stopping at the parked A loop [12 B dc; 24 total]. Keep the two advancing color boundaries marked.
  3. Round 3: each color works (dc in next stitch, 2 dc in next) six times into the other color’s twelve stitches [18 per color; 36 total]. Round 4: each works (dc in next 2, 2 dc in next) six times [24 per color; 48 total]. Round 5: each works (dc in next 3, 2 dc in next) six times [30 per color; 60 total].
  4. Round 6: each color works (dc in next 4, 2 dc in next) six times [36 per color; 72 total]. Taper each color by replacing its last three dc with hdc, sc, sl st; count the sl st as a position in this round. Fasten off both loops.

Round medallion rim

  1. Do not work the square frame: the spiral core above ends at 72 counted positions, including its tapered final sl sts. Join the border color. Round 7: (sc in next position, ch 3, skip 2) twenty-four times [24 anchors and 24 arches]. Round 8: in each arch work (sc, hdc, 3 dc, hdc, sc), then sl st in next anchor [24 seven-stitch scallops]. Fasten off.
  2. For a single-color photo use two close shades of that color, or two balls of the same shade. The two active strands are a construction method, not a required color contrast. Block a complete medallion and record diameter D.

Joining circular motifs

  1. Example: 168 circles in twelve columns and fourteen rows. At D = 16 cm the body is roughly 192 by 224 cm, with open gaps at four-circle junctions. Recalculate using the actual blocked diameter and the measured bed. Make a four-circle trial patch before multiplying the units.
  2. Mark Scallops 1, 7, 13 and 19 on each circle. Sew opposite marked scallops of neighboring circles at two edge points, reinforcing each join. At each four-circle junction make four equal ch-5 bridges linking the neighboring inner scallop tips into a small square; work one sc back along each bridge. Lengthen all four bridges equally if five chains pull the patch inward, and use that measured count at every matching junction.
  3. Weave tails through both neighboring units. Leave outside scallops visible or sc along the exposed outer stitches without forcing a straight outline. For a cushion front join nine circles in a 3 by 3 arrangement and sew to a measured fabric backing. This circular network is an original interpretation of the photographed spiral joins.

Assembly and finishing

  1. Check all counts before joining. Weave ends through several stitches in three directions. Sew point joins more than once and distribute tension evenly.
  2. Wash a sample using the yarn care instructions, block gently and allow it to dry completely. Recheck fit or motif size after washing. These original patterns are photo-inspired and physically untested; they do not reproduce a verified photographed chart.

36. Golden Spiral Bedspread – Close View

Golden Spiral Bedspread - Close View in gold, amber and cream
Golden Spiral Bedspread – Close View – supplied reference for an original, physically untested interpretation.

This reference combines gold, amber and cream in a golden spiral bedspread – close view. The additional view is intentionally retained with its related motif family.

Materials, gauge and size

Smooth DK cotton, cotton blend or washable wool, approximately 1,800-3,500 g for a full bedspread or 500-1,200 g for a smaller throw. Colors: gold, amber and cream. Hook: 3.5-4.5 mm; use a smaller hook or finer yarn for appliques if needed. Quantities are estimates: weigh a washed complete motif, multiply by actual component count and add 15-20% for seams and edging.

Also use a yarn needle, scissors, stitch markers, measuring tape and blocking pins. Add measured fabric backs, sewing thread and purchased inserts for optional cushions.

Gauge and size: start near 16 dc by 9 rows or 20 sc by 22 rows per 10 cm as provisional swatches only. Measure a complete washed motif and the actual bed. Circle, hexagon, octagon and diagonal layouts require a multi-motif trial patch; one square measurement cannot establish their final geometry.

Palette and sample plan

  1. Palette: gold, amber and cream. Choose a contrasting center, the main flower or geometric shade and a framing color from that palette. Use the palest shade for the outer lace unless the reference has a dark outline. Write down the chosen round-by-round colors after the first sample so the whole set stays consistent.
  2. The written motif may simplify the reference. Work one complete motif and one join before multiplying pieces. Keep all border stitches accessible, sew appliques flat and record every size or color change. Close views and color variations use the same counted construction intentionally.

Blue and Cocoa Diamond-Motif Bedspread – supplied reference for an original, physically untested interpretation.

This reference combines blue, sage, cocoa and cream in a blue and cocoa diamond-motif bedspread. The counted construction below interprets its main motif and arrangement.

Materials, gauge and size

Smooth DK cotton, cotton blend or washable wool, approximately 1,800-3,500 g for a full bedspread or 500-1,200 g for a smaller throw. Colors: blue, sage, cocoa and cream. Hook: 3.5-4.5 mm; use a smaller hook or finer yarn for appliques if needed. Quantities are estimates: weigh a washed complete motif, multiply by actual component count and add 15-20% for seams and edging.

Two-layer flower square

  1. Round 1: With the center color work 8 sc in a magic ring; join [8]. Round 2: in each sc work (sc, ch 3, dc, ch 3, sl st) [eight small petals].
  2. Round 3: Behind the petals, sc around each Round-1 sc post, ch 5 after each sc [eight anchors, eight loops]. Round 4: into each loop work (sc, hdc, 5 dc, hdc, sc), then sl st into the next anchor sc [eight outer petals, nine stitches per petal plus eight anchor sl sts].
  3. Round 5: Behind the outer petals, sc around each Round-3 anchor post and ch 5 after each sc [eight anchors and eight loops]. Round 6: (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in first loop, 3 dc in next loop; repeat four times [36 dc, four corners].
  4. Round 7: Dc in each dc and (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in each corner [52 dc]. Round 8: sc in each dc and (sc, ch 2, sc) in each corner [60 sc, four corners]. Block square. Choose the center, petal and frame shades from the stated palette. Use the palest framing color on the last round unless the reference has a contrasting dark outer frame.

Diagonal arrangement and perimeter

  1. Rotate the blocked square by 45 degrees so corners point up, down, left and right. The underlying motif is still the counted flower square, not a claimed reproduction of the reference teardrop-shaped outer frame. Let its side be W; tip-to-tip diagonal is W times sqrt(2).
  2. Example: 128 full motifs in sixteen staggered rows of eight. Offset alternate rows by half a diamond width and pin a full-size paper layout before choosing the cover dimensions. Sew matching full edges wherever they touch, with corners aligned and no seam pulling diagonally.
  3. Retain the zigzag perimeter for pointed edges, or make measured half-square fillers: ch 4, work 3 dc in fourth chain [4 dc including skipped ch 3]. Row 2: 2 dc in first, dc across to last, 2 dc in last [6]. Repeat increasing at both ends each row [8, 10, 12 and so on] until the two edges fit the adjacent full motifs by actual measurement. Ch 3 counts as the first dc within each stated starting increase.
  4. The perimeter layout determines the number of fillers; count gaps on the pinned layout before making them. Sew fillers flat, then work two sc borders with three sc at outward tips and sc2tog across inward joins if necessary. For pillows use a measured 2 by 2 motif arrangement and fabric backing, fitting the insert before the final seam.

Assembly and finishing

  1. Check all counts before joining. Weave ends through several stitches in three directions. Sew point joins more than once and distribute tension evenly.
  2. Wash a sample using the yarn care instructions, block gently and allow it to dry completely. Recheck fit or motif size after washing. These original patterns are photo-inspired and physically untested; they do not reproduce a verified photographed chart.

39. Sage and Ochre Hourglass Bedspread

Sage and Ochre Hourglass Bedspread – supplied reference for an original, physically untested interpretation.

This reference combines sage, ochre, rust and cream in a sage and ochre hourglass bedspread. The counted construction below interprets its main motif and arrangement.

Materials, gauge and size

Smooth DK cotton, cotton blend or washable wool, approximately 1,800-3,500 g for a full bedspread or 500-1,200 g for a smaller throw. Colors: sage, ochre, rust and cream. Hook: 3.5-4.5 mm; use a smaller hook or finer yarn for appliques if needed. Quantities are estimates: weigh a washed complete motif, multiply by actual component count and add 15-20% for seams and edging.

Palette and sample plan

  1. Palette: sage, ochre, rust and cream. Choose a contrasting center, the main flower or geometric shade and a framing color from that palette. Use the palest shade for the outer lace unless the reference has a dark outline. Write down the chosen round-by-round colors after the first sample so the whole set stays consistent.
  2. The written motif may simplify the reference. Work one complete motif and one join before multiplying pieces. Keep all border stitches accessible, sew appliques flat and record every size or color change. Close views and color variations use the same counted construction intentionally.

Square background

  1. Round 1: In a magic ring work (3 dc, ch 2) four times; join to the first dc. [12 dc, four ch-2 corners]
  2. Round 2: Join the second color in a corner. Work (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in each corner and 1 dc in each of the three side stitches; join. [28 dc, four ch-2 corners; seven dc per side]
  3. Round 3: With the third color, work 1 dc in each dc and (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in each corner; join. [44 dc; 11 per side]
  4. Round 4: Repeat Round 3. [60 dc; 15 per side]
  5. Round 5: Repeat Round 3. [76 dc; 19 per side] Block to approximately 12 cm; change hook size if necessary. Each contrasting frame creates a geometric outline.

Striped hourglass applique

  1. Make two trapezoids per square. Ch 20. Row 1: sc in second chain and across [19]. Row 2: sc2tog, 15 sc, sc2tog [17]. Row 3: sc2tog, 13 sc, sc2tog [15]. Continue decreasing once at each end on Rows 4-7 [13, 11, 9, 7]. Ch 1 and turn at every sc row. Change stripe color after each row if desired.
  2. Place one wide edge toward the square top and one toward the bottom, with both seven-stitch narrow ends toward the center. Connector: ch 8, sc across [7] for twelve rows. Measure the connector between the narrow ends and add or remove whole rows to fit the background without stretching. Sew narrow ends to connector ends, then sew the complete applique outline flat.
  3. Keep all square border stitches free. If the trapezoid is wider than the square interior, use a finer hook or yarn for the applique before production. Center disc: 6 sc in magic ring, then increase in every stitch [12]; fasten off and sew over the connector middle. This applique method suggests the hourglass color arrangement rather than an exact integrated motif.

Layout, joining and border

  1. Make 168 identical motifs. Block each to the same measured square width W. Lay out 12 columns by 14 rows; approximate finished size before borders is 12W by 14W. At W = 12 cm this is 144 × 168 cm; choose the motif size and layout from the actual bed measurements.
  2. With right sides together, whipstitch matching edge stitches through the outside loops. Join all vertical seams, then all horizontal seams. Match corresponding corners and leave no unsupported gap between four motifs.
  3. Border Round 1: sc in each exposed stitch, one sc in each ch-1 space and two sc in each ch-2 space; at the four outside corners work (sc, ch 2, sc). Adjust only at seam junctions to keep the border flat. Round 2: sc in each stitch, (sc, ch 2, sc) at each corner. Round 3: repeat Round 2. Record the actual perimeter count because motif layouts and seam junctions change it.
  4. For a cushion front, make a separate 3 × 3 motif panel. Sew three sides to a same-size fabric backing and use an envelope fabric overlap on the fourth side. The insert is purchased; there is no hidden crochet backing pattern.

Measured size and matching cushions

  1. Measure mattress width and length plus the desired side and foot drops. With washed motif width W, columns = ceil(required width/W) and rows = ceil(required length/W). Make their product in motifs. The 12 by 14 example uses 168 motifs: at W = 16 cm it is about 192 by 224 cm; at W = 12 cm only 144 by 168 cm, before borders. Recalculate instead of assuming every motif makes a bed-size cover.
  2. For two pillow fronts make eighteen additional motifs in two separate 3 by 3 panels. Sew each crochet front to a measured fabric envelope back and fit a purchased insert before closing the last seams. Weigh the washed finished motif, multiply by actual motif count, and add 15-20% for seams and edging.

Assembly and finishing

  1. Check all counts before joining. Weave ends through several stitches in three directions. Sew point joins more than once and distribute tension evenly.
  2. Wash a sample using the yarn care instructions, block gently and allow it to dry completely. Recheck fit or motif size after washing. These original patterns are photo-inspired and physically untested; they do not reproduce a verified photographed chart.

  4. Round 7: Dc in each dc and (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in each corner [52 dc]. Round 8: sc in each dc and (sc, ch 2, sc) in each corner [60 sc, four corners]. Block square. Choose the center, petal and frame shades from the stated palette. Use the palest framing color on the last round unless the reference has a contrasting dark outer frame.

Diagonal arrangement and perimeter

  1. Rotate the blocked square by 45 degrees so corners point up, down, left and right. The underlying motif is still the counted flower square, not a claimed reproduction of the reference teardrop-shaped outer frame. Let its side be W; tip-to-tip diagonal is W times sqrt(2).
  2. Example: 128 full motifs in sixteen staggered rows of eight. Offset alternate rows by half a diamond width and pin a full-size paper layout before choosing the cover dimensions. Sew matching full edges wherever they touch, with corners aligned and no seam pulling diagonally.
  3. Retain the zigzag perimeter for pointed edges, or make measured half-square fillers: ch 4, work 3 dc in fourth chain [4 dc including skipped ch 3]. Row 2: 2 dc in first, dc across to last, 2 dc in last [6]. Repeat increasing at both ends each row [8, 10, 12 and so on] until the two edges fit the adjacent full motifs by actual measurement. Ch 3 counts as the first dc within each stated starting increase.
  4. The perimeter layout determines the number of fillers; count gaps on the pinned layout before making them. Sew fillers flat, then work two sc borders with three sc at outward tips and sc2tog across inward joins if necessary. For pillows use a measured 2 by 2 motif arrangement and fabric backing, fitting the insert before the final seam.

Assembly and finishing

  1. Check all counts before joining. Weave ends through several stitches in three directions. Sew point joins more than once and distribute tension evenly.
  2. Wash a sample using the yarn care instructions, block gently and allow it to dry completely. Recheck fit or motif size after washing. These original patterns are photo-inspired and physically untested; they do not reproduce a verified photographed chart.

42. Forest and Rust Diamond Bedspread

Forest and Rust Diamond Bedspread in forest green, rust, gold and cream
Forest and Rust Diamond Bedspread – supplied reference for an original, physically untested interpretation.

This reference combines forest green, rust, gold and cream in a forest and rust diamond bedspread. The counted construction below interprets its main motif and arrangement.

Materials, gauge and size

Smooth DK cotton, cotton blend or washable wool, approximately 1,800-3,500 g for a full bedspread or 500-1,200 g for a smaller throw. Colors: forest green, rust, gold and cream. Hook: 3.5-4.5 mm; use a smaller hook or finer yarn for appliques if needed. Quantities are estimates: weigh a washed complete motif, multiply by actual component count and add 15-20% for seams and edging.

Also use a yarn needle, scissors, stitch markers, measuring tape and blocking pins. Add measured fabric backs, sewing thread and purchased inserts for optional cushions.

Gauge and size: start near 16 dc by 9 rows or 20 sc by 22 rows per 10 cm as provisional swatches only. Measure a complete washed motif and the actual bed. Circle, hexagon, octagon and diagonal layouts require a multi-motif trial patch; one square measurement cannot establish their final geometry.

Palette and sample plan

  1. Palette: forest green, rust, gold and cream. Choose a contrasting center, the main flower or geometric shade and a framing color from that palette. Use the palest shade for the outer lace unless the reference has a dark outline. Write down the chosen round-by-round colors after the first sample so the whole set stays consistent.
  2. The written motif may simplify the reference. Work one complete motif and one join before multiplying pieces. Keep all border stitches accessible, sew appliques flat and record every size or color change. Close views and color variations use the same counted construction intentionally.

Two-layer flower square

  1. Round 1: With the center color work 8 sc in a magic ring; join [8]. Round 2: in each sc work (sc, ch 3, dc, ch 3, sl st) [eight small petals].

46. Large Octagon Medallion Bed Cover

Large Octagon Medallion Bed Cover in rust, teal, gold, brown and cream
Large Octagon Medallion Bed Cover – supplied reference for an original, physically untested interpretation.

This reference combines rust, teal, gold, brown and cream in a large octagon medallion bed cover. The counted construction below interprets its main motif and arrangement.

Materials, gauge and size

Smooth DK cotton, cotton blend or washable wool, approximately 1,800-3,500 g for a full bedspread or 500-1,200 g for a smaller throw. Colors: rust, teal, gold, brown and cream. Hook: 3.5-4.5 mm; use a smaller hook or finer yarn for appliques if needed. Quantities are estimates: weigh a washed complete motif, multiply by actual component count and add 15-20% for seams and edging.

Also use a yarn needle, scissors, stitch markers, measuring tape and blocking pins. Add measured fabric backs, sewing thread and purchased inserts for optional cushions.

Gauge and size: start near 16 dc by 9 rows or 20 sc by 22 rows per 10 cm as provisional swatches only. Measure a complete washed motif and the actual bed. Circle, hexagon, octagon and diagonal layouts require a multi-motif trial patch; one square measurement cannot establish their final geometry.

Palette and sample plan

  1. Palette: rust, teal, gold, brown and cream. Choose a contrasting center, the main flower or geometric shade and a framing color from that palette.

Eight-sided color medallion

  1. Round 1: in magic ring work (2 dc, ch 2) eight times [16 dc, 8 corners]. Round 2: dc in every dc, (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in each corner [48 dc]. Repeat that frame increase on Rounds 3 and 4 [80, 112 dc]. Round 5: sc in every dc, (sc, ch 2, sc) in each corner [128 sc, 8 corners; 16 sc per side]. Change colors at round joins and block into a regular octagon.

Square fillers and assembly

  1. Filler Round 1: (3 dc, ch 2) four times in magic ring [12 dc]. Round 2: dc in each dc, (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in each corner [28 dc]. Round 3 repeat [44]. Round 4 repeat [60 dc, 15 dc per side], adding one ch 1 between the seventh and eighth output dc of each side [15 dc plus one chain position per side].
  2. Wash one octagon and filler. Their sixteen side positions must also match in physical length; change the filler hook if needed before making all units. Example bed cover: 80 octagons in an 8 by 10 arrangement and 63 fillers at the 7 by 9 internal gaps. Join octagons along alternate sides and fill the four-octagon junctions with squares, matching sixteen positions one-to-one.
  3. At an octagon flat-side width near 25 cm the cover is roughly 200 by 250 cm, but joins and filler geometry change this estimate: measure a four-octagon trial patch first. Smaller throw: 24 octagons in a 4 by 6 arrangement and fifteen fillers. Follow exposed angled edges with two sc rounds, three sc at outward tips and decreases across inward joins as needed.
  4. For a pillow use one octagon with a measured fabric surround and envelope back; no hidden shaped crochet backing is assumed. Weave and reinforce every corner before blocking the finished piece.

Assembly and finishing

  1. Check all counts before joining. Weave ends through several stitches in three directions. Sew point joins more than once and distribute tension evenly.
  2. Wash a sample using the yarn care instructions, block gently and allow it to dry completely. Recheck fit or motif size after washing. These original patterns are photo-inspired and physically untested; they do not reproduce a verified photographed chart.

Earth-Tone Octagon Medallion Throw in sage, rust, gold, cocoa and cream
Earth-Tone Octagon Medallion Throw – supplied reference for an original, physically untested interpretation.

This reference combines sage, rust, gold, cocoa and cream in a earth-tone octagon medallion throw. The counted construction below interprets its main motif and arrangement.

Materials, gauge and size

Smooth DK cotton, cotton blend or washable wool, approximately 1,800-3,500 g for a full bedspread or 500-1,200 g for a smaller throw. Colors: sage, rust, gold, cocoa and cream. Hook: 3.5-4.5 mm; use a smaller hook or finer yarn for appliques if needed. Quantities are estimates: weigh a washed complete motif, multiply by actual component count and add 15-20% for seams and edging.

Also use a yarn needle, scissors, stitch markers, measuring tape and blocking pins. Add measured fabric backs, sewing thread and purchased inserts for optional cushions.

Gauge and size: start near 16 dc by 9 rows or 20 sc by 22 rows per 10 cm as provisional swatches only. Measure a complete washed motif and the actual bed. Circle, hexagon, octagon and diagonal layouts require a multi-motif trial patch; one square measurement cannot establish their final geometry.

Palette and sample plan

  1. Palette: sage, rust, gold, cocoa and cream. Choose a contrasting center, the main flower or geometric shade and a framing color from that palette. Use the palest shade for the outer lace unless the reference has a dark outline. Write down the chosen round-by-round colors after the first sample so the whole set stays consistent.

Eight-sided color medallion

  1. Round 1: in magic ring work (2 dc, ch 2) eight times [16 dc, 8 corners]. Round 2: dc in every dc, (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in each corner [48 dc]. Repeat that frame increase on Rounds 3 and 4 [80, 112 dc]. Round 5: sc in every dc, (sc, ch 2, sc) in each corner [128 sc, 8 corners; 16 sc per side]. Change colors at round joins and block into a regular octagon.

Square fillers and assembly

  1. Filler Round 1: (3 dc, ch 2) four times in magic ring [12 dc]. Round 2: dc in each dc, (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in each corner [28 dc]. Round 3 repeat [44]. Round 4 repeat [60 dc, 15 dc per side], adding one ch 1 between the seventh and eighth output dc of each side [15 dc plus one chain position per side].
  2. Wash one octagon and filler. Their sixteen side positions must also match in physical length; change the filler hook if needed before making all units. Example bed cover: 80 octagons in an 8 by 10 arrangement and 63 fillers at the 7 by 9 internal gaps. Join octagons along alternate sides and fill the four-octagon junctions with squares, matching sixteen positions one-to-one.
  3. At an octagon flat-side width near 25 cm the cover is roughly 200 by 250 cm, but joins and filler geometry change this estimate: measure a four-octagon trial patch first. Smaller throw: 24 octagons in a 4 by 6 arrangement and fifteen fillers. Follow exposed angled edges with two sc rounds, three sc at outward tips and decreases across inward joins as needed.
  4. For a pillow use one octagon with a measured fabric surround and envelope back; no hidden shaped crochet backing is assumed. Weave and reinforce every corner before blocking the finished piece.

Assembly and finishing

  1. Check all counts before joining. Weave ends through several stitches in three directions. Sew point joins more than once and distribute tension evenly.
  2. Wash a sample using the yarn care instructions, block gently and allow it to dry completely. Recheck fit or motif size after washing. These original patterns are photo-inspired and physically untested; they do not reproduce a verified photographed chart.

  4. Rounds 4–5: Repeat Round 3, placing one 3-dc group in each side space. Round 4 has 48 dc and twelve side spaces; Round 5 has 60 dc and sixteen side spaces. Both have four ch-2 corners.
  5. Round 6: Sc in each dc and 1 sc in each side ch-1 space; work (sc, ch 2, sc) in each corner. [84 sc and four ch-2 corners; 21 sc per side] Block square without pulling the holes out of shape.

Layout, joining and border

  1. Make 168 identical motifs. Block each to the same measured square width W. Lay out 12 columns by 14 rows; approximate finished size before borders is 12W by 14W. At W = 12 cm this is 144 × 168 cm; choose the motif size and layout from the actual bed measurements.
  2. With right sides together, whipstitch matching edge stitches through the outside loops. Join all vertical seams, then all horizontal seams. Match corresponding corners and leave no unsupported gap between four motifs.
  3. Border Round 1: sc in each exposed stitch, one sc in each ch-1 space and two sc in each ch-2 space; at the four outside corners work (sc, ch 2, sc). Adjust only at seam junctions to keep the border flat. Round 2: sc in each stitch, (sc, ch 2, sc) at each corner. Round 3: repeat Round 2. Record the actual perimeter count because motif layouts and seam junctions change it.
  4. For a cushion front, make a separate 3 × 3 motif panel. Sew three sides to a same-size fabric backing and use an envelope fabric overlap on the fourth side. The insert is purchased; there is no hidden crochet backing pattern.

Measured size and matching cushions

  1. Measure mattress width and length plus the desired side and foot drops. With washed motif width W, columns = ceil(required width/W) and rows = ceil(required length/W). Make their product in motifs. The 12 by 14 example uses 168 motifs: at W = 16 cm it is about 192 by 224 cm; at W = 12 cm only 144 by 168 cm, before borders. Recalculate instead of assuming every motif makes a bed-size cover.
  2. For two pillow fronts make eighteen additional motifs in two separate 3 by 3 panels. Sew each crochet front to a measured fabric envelope back and fit a purchased insert before closing the last seams. Weigh the washed finished motif, multiply by actual motif count, and add 15-20% for seams and edging.

Assembly and finishing

  1. Check all counts before joining. Weave ends through several stitches in three directions. Sew point joins more than once and distribute tension evenly.
  2. Wash a sample using the yarn care instructions, block gently and allow it to dry completely. Recheck fit or motif size after washing. These original patterns are photo-inspired and physically untested; they do not reproduce a verified photographed chart.

49. Burgundy Granny Squares with Olive Edges

Burgundy Granny Squares with Olive Edges in burgundy, rust, olive and cream
Burgundy Granny Squares with Olive Edges – supplied reference for an original, physically untested interpretation.

This reference combines burgundy, rust, olive and cream in a burgundy granny squares with olive edges. The counted construction below interprets its main motif and arrangement.

Materials, gauge and size

Smooth DK cotton, cotton blend or washable wool, approximately 1,800-3,500 g for a full bedspread or 500-1,200 g for a smaller throw. Colors: burgundy, rust, olive and cream. Hook: 3.5-4.5 mm; use a smaller hook or finer yarn for appliques if needed. Quantities are estimates: weigh a washed complete motif, multiply by actual component count and add 15-20% for seams and edging.

Also use a yarn needle, scissors, stitch markers, measuring tape and blocking pins. Add measured fabric backs, sewing thread and purchased inserts for optional cushions.

Gauge and size: start near 16 dc by 9 rows or 20 sc by 22 rows per 10 cm as provisional swatches only. Measure a complete washed motif and the actual bed. Circle, hexagon, octagon and diagonal layouts require a multi-motif trial patch; one square measurement cannot establish their final geometry.

Palette and sample plan

  1. Palette: burgundy, rust, olive and cream. Choose a contrasting center, the main flower or geometric shade and a framing color from that palette. Use the palest shade for the outer lace unless the reference has a dark outline. Write down the chosen round-by-round colors after the first sample so the whole set stays consistent.
  2. The written motif may simplify the reference. Work one complete motif and one join before multiplying pieces. Keep all border stitches accessible, sew appliques flat and record every size or color change. Close views and color variations use the same counted construction intentionally.

Square background

  1. Round 1: In a magic ring work (3 dc, ch 2) four times; join to the first dc. [12 dc, four ch-2 corners]
  2. Round 2: Join the second color in a corner. Work (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in each corner and 1 dc in each of the three side stitches; join. [28 dc, four ch-2 corners; seven dc per side]
  3. Round 3: With the third color, work 1 dc in each dc and (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in each corner; join. [44 dc; 11 per side]
  4. Round 4: Repeat Round 3. [60 dc; 15 per side]
  5. Round 5: Repeat Round 3. [76 dc; 19 per side] Block to approximately 12 cm; change hook size if necessary. Each contrasting frame creates a geometric outline.

Striped hourglass applique

  1. Make two trapezoids per square. Ch 20. Row 1: sc in second chain and across [19]. Row 2: sc2tog, 15 sc, sc2tog [17]. Row 3: sc2tog, 13 sc, sc2tog [15]. Continue decreasing once at each end on Rows 4-7 [13, 11, 9, 7]. Ch 1 and turn at every sc row. Change stripe color after each row if desired.
  2. Place one wide edge toward the square top and one toward the bottom, with both seven-stitch narrow ends toward the center. Connector: ch 8, sc across [7] for twelve rows. Measure the connector between the narrow ends and add or remove whole rows to fit the background without stretching. Sew narrow ends to connector ends, then sew the complete applique outline flat.
  3. Keep all square border stitches free. If the trapezoid is wider than the square interior, use a finer hook or yarn for the applique before production. Center disc: 6 sc in magic ring, then increase in every stitch [12]; fasten off and sew over the connector middle. This applique method suggests the hourglass color arrangement rather than an exact integrated motif.

Layout, joining and border

  1. Make 168 identical motifs. Block each to the same measured square width W. Lay out 12 columns by 14 rows; approximate finished size before borders is 12W by 14W. At W = 12 cm this is 144 × 168 cm; choose the motif size and layout from the actual bed measurements.
  2. With right sides together, whipstitch matching edge stitches through the outside loops. Join all vertical seams, then all horizontal seams. Match corresponding corners and leave no unsupported gap between four motifs.
  3. Border Round 1: sc in each exposed stitch, one sc in each ch-1 space and two sc in each ch-2 space; at the four outside corners work (sc, ch 2, sc). Adjust only at seam junctions to keep the border flat. Round 2: sc in each stitch, (sc, ch 2, sc) at each corner. Round 3: repeat Round 2. Record the actual perimeter count because motif layouts and seam junctions change it.
  4. For a cushion front, make a separate 3 × 3 motif panel. Sew three sides to a same-size fabric backing and use an envelope fabric overlap on the fourth side. The insert is purchased; there is no hidden crochet backing pattern.

  2. For two pillow fronts make eighteen additional motifs in two separate 3 by 3 panels. Sew each crochet front to a measured fabric envelope back and fit a purchased insert before closing the last seams. Weigh the washed finished motif, multiply by actual motif count, and add 15-20% for seams and edging.

Assembly and finishing

  1. Check all counts before joining. Weave ends through several stitches in three directions. Sew point joins more than once and distribute tension evenly.
  2. Wash a sample using the yarn care instructions, block gently and allow it to dry completely. Recheck fit or motif size after washing. These original patterns are photo-inspired and physically untested; they do not reproduce a verified photographed chart.

Teal and Navy Hourglass Bedspread – supplied reference for an original, physically untested interpretation.

This reference combines teal, navy, gold and cream in a teal and navy hourglass bedspread. The counted construction below interprets its main motif and arrangement.

Materials, gauge and size

Smooth DK cotton, cotton blend or washable wool, approximately 1,800-3,500 g for a full bedspread or 500-1,200 g for a smaller throw. Colors: teal, navy, gold and cream. Hook: 3.5-4.5 mm; use a smaller hook or finer yarn for appliques if needed. Quantities are estimates: weigh a washed complete motif, multiply by actual component count and add 15-20% for seams and edging.

Also use a yarn needle, scissors, stitch markers, measuring tape and blocking pins. Add measured fabric backs, sewing thread and purchased inserts for optional cushions.

Gauge and size: start near 16 dc by 9 rows or 20 sc by 22 rows per 10 cm as provisional swatches only. Measure a complete washed motif and the actual bed. Circle, hexagon, octagon and diagonal layouts require a multi-motif trial patch; one square measurement cannot establish their final geometry.

Palette and sample plan

  1. Palette: teal, navy, gold and cream. Choose a contrasting center, the main flower or geometric shade and a framing color from that palette. Use the palest shade for the outer lace unless the reference has a dark outline. Write down the chosen round-by-round colors after the first sample so the whole set stays consistent.
  2. The written motif may simplify the reference. Work one complete motif and one join before multiplying pieces. Keep all border stitches accessible, sew appliques flat and record every size or color change. Close views and color variations use the same counted construction intentionally.

Square background

  1. Round 1: In a magic ring work (3 dc, ch 2) four times; join to the first dc. [12 dc, four ch-2 corners]
  2. Round 2: Join the second color in a corner. Work (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in each corner and 1 dc in each of the three side stitches; join. [28 dc, four ch-2 corners; seven dc per side]
  3. Round 3: With the third color, work 1 dc in each dc and (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in each corner; join. [44 dc; 11 per side]
  4. Round 4: Repeat Round 3. [60 dc; 15 per side]
  5. Round 5: Repeat Round 3. [76 dc; 19 per side] Block to approximately 12 cm; change hook size if necessary. Each contrasting frame creates a geometric outline.

Striped hourglass applique

  1. Make two trapezoids per square. Ch 20. Row 1: sc in second chain and across [19]. Row 2: sc2tog, 15 sc, sc2tog [17]. Row 3: sc2tog, 13 sc, sc2tog [15]. Continue decreasing once at each end on Rows 4-7 [13, 11, 9, 7]. Ch 1 and turn at every sc row. Change stripe color after each row if desired.
  2. Place one wide edge toward the square top and one toward the bottom, with both seven-stitch narrow ends toward the center. Connector: ch 8, sc across [7] for twelve rows. Measure the connector between the narrow ends and add or remove whole rows to fit the background without stretching. Sew narrow ends to connector ends, then sew the complete applique outline flat.
  3. Keep all square border stitches free. If the trapezoid is wider than the square interior, use a finer hook or yarn for the applique before production. Center disc: 6 sc in magic ring, then increase in every stitch [12]; fasten off and sew over the connector middle. This applique method suggests the hourglass color arrangement rather than an exact integrated motif.

Layout, joining and border

  1. Make 168 identical motifs. Block each to the same measured square width W. Lay out 12 columns by 14 rows; approximate finished size before borders is 12W by 14W. At W = 12 cm this is 144 × 168 cm; choose the motif size and layout from the actual bed measurements.
  2. With right sides together, whipstitch matching edge stitches through the outside loops. Join all vertical seams, then all horizontal seams. Match corresponding corners and leave no unsupported gap between four motifs.
  3. Border Round 1: sc in each exposed stitch, one sc in each ch-1 space and two sc in each ch-2 space; at the four outside corners work (sc, ch 2, sc). Adjust only at seam junctions to keep the border flat. Round 2: sc in each stitch, (sc, ch 2, sc) at each corner. Round 3: repeat Round 2. Record the actual perimeter count because motif layouts and seam junctions change it.
  4. For a cushion front, make a separate 3 × 3 motif panel. Sew three sides to a same-size fabric backing and use an envelope fabric overlap on the fourth side. The insert is purchased; there is no hidden crochet backing pattern.

Measured size and matching cushions

  1. Measure mattress width and length plus the desired side and foot drops. With washed motif width W, columns = ceil(required width/W) and rows = ceil(required length/W). Make their product in motifs. The 12 by 14 example uses 168 motifs: at W = 16 cm it is about 192 by 224 cm; at W = 12 cm only 144 by 168 cm, before borders. Recalculate instead of assuming every motif makes a bed-size cover.
  2. For two pillow fronts make eighteen additional motifs in two separate 3 by 3 panels. Sew each crochet front to a measured fabric envelope back and fit a purchased insert before closing the last seams. Weigh the washed finished motif, multiply by actual motif count, and add 15-20% for seams and edging.

Assembly and finishing

  1. Check all counts before joining. Weave ends through several stitches in three directions. Sew point joins more than once and distribute tension evenly.
  2. Wash a sample using the yarn care instructions, block gently and allow it to dry completely. Recheck fit or motif size after washing. These original patterns are photo-inspired and physically untested; they do not reproduce a verified photographed chart.

Smooth DK cotton, cotton blend or washable wool, approximately 1,800-3,500 g for a full bedspread or 500-1,200 g for a smaller throw. Colors: sage, pale blue, slate and ivory. Hook: 3.5-4.5 mm; use a smaller hook or finer yarn for appliques if needed. Quantities are estimates: weigh a washed complete motif, multiply by actual component count and add 15-20% for seams and edging.

Also use a yarn needle, scissors, stitch markers, measuring tape and blocking pins. Add measured fabric backs, sewing thread and purchased inserts for optional cushions.

Gauge and size: start near 16 dc by 9 rows or 20 sc by 22 rows per 10 cm as provisional swatches only. Measure a complete washed motif and the actual bed. Circle, hexagon, octagon and diagonal layouts require a multi-motif trial patch; one square measurement cannot establish their final geometry.

Palette and sample plan

  1. Palette: sage, pale blue, slate and ivory. Choose a contrasting center, the main flower or geometric shade and a framing color from that palette. Use the palest shade for the outer lace unless the reference has a dark outline. Write down the chosen round-by-round colors after the first sample so the whole set stays consistent.
  2. The written motif may simplify the reference. Work one complete motif and one join before multiplying pieces. Keep all border stitches accessible, sew appliques flat and record every size or color change. Close views and color variations use the same counted construction intentionally.

Two-layer flower square

  1. Round 1: With the center color work 8 sc in a magic ring; join [8]. Round 2: in each sc work (sc, ch 3, dc, ch 3, sl st) [eight small petals].
  2. Round 3: Behind the petals, sc around each Round-1 sc post, ch 5 after each sc [eight anchors, eight loops]. Round 4: into each loop work (sc, hdc, 5 dc, hdc, sc), then sl st into the next anchor sc [eight outer petals, nine stitches per petal plus eight anchor sl sts].
  3. Round 5: Behind the outer petals, sc around each Round-3 anchor post and ch 5 after each sc [eight anchors and eight loops]. Round 6: (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in first loop, 3 dc in next loop; repeat four times [36 dc, four corners].
  4. Round 7: Dc in each dc and (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in each corner [52 dc]. Round 8: sc in each dc and (sc, ch 2, sc) in each corner [60 sc, four corners]. Block square. Choose the center, petal and frame shades from the stated palette. Use the palest framing color on the last round unless the reference has a contrasting dark outer frame.

Diagonal arrangement and perimeter

  1. Rotate the blocked square by 45 degrees so corners point up, down, left and right. The underlying motif is still the counted flower square, not a claimed reproduction of the reference teardrop-shaped outer frame. Let its side be W; tip-to-tip diagonal is W times sqrt(2).
  2. Example: 128 full motifs in sixteen staggered rows of eight. Offset alternate rows by half a diamond width and pin a full-size paper layout before choosing the cover dimensions. Sew matching full edges wherever they touch, with corners aligned and no seam pulling diagonally.
  3. Retain the zigzag perimeter for pointed edges, or make measured half-square fillers: ch 4, work 3 dc in fourth chain [4 dc including skipped ch 3]. Row 2: 2 dc in first, dc across to last, 2 dc in last [6]. Repeat increasing at both ends each row [8, 10, 12 and so on] until the two edges fit the adjacent full motifs by actual measurement. Ch 3 counts as the first dc within each stated starting increase.
  4. The perimeter layout determines the number of fillers; count gaps on the pinned layout before making them. Sew fillers flat, then work two sc borders with three sc at outward tips and sc2tog across inward joins if necessary. For pillows use a measured 2 by 2 motif arrangement and fabric backing, fitting the insert before the final seam.

Assembly and finishing

  1. Check all counts before joining. Weave ends through several stitches in three directions. Sew point joins more than once and distribute tension evenly.
  2. Wash a sample using the yarn care instructions, block gently and allow it to dry completely. Recheck fit or motif size after washing. These original patterns are photo-inspired and physically untested; they do not reproduce a verified photographed chart.

57. Deep Green Raised-Rose Bedspread

Deep Green Raised-Rose Bedspread in deep green and forest green
Deep Green Raised-Rose Bedspread – supplied reference for an original, physically untested interpretation.

This reference combines deep green and forest green in a deep green raised-rose bedspread. The counted construction below interprets its main motif and arrangement.

Materials, gauge and size

Smooth DK yarn, approximately 2,500-4,500 g for a raised-rose full bedspread. Colors: deep green and forest green. Hook: 3.5-4.5 mm; use a smaller hook or finer yarn for appliques if needed. Quantities are estimates: weigh a washed complete motif, multiply by actual component count and add 15-20% for seams and edging.

Also use a yarn needle, scissors, stitch markers, measuring tape and blocking pins. Add measured fabric backs, sewing thread and purchased inserts for optional cushions. Raised roses add substantial weight and thickness; sample the entire flower-on-square construction.

Gauge and size: start near 16 dc by 9 rows or 20 sc by 22 rows per 10 cm as provisional swatches only. Measure a complete washed motif and the actual bed. Circle, hexagon, octagon and diagonal layouts require a multi-motif trial patch; one square measurement cannot establish their final geometry.

Palette and sample plan

  1. Palette: deep green and forest green. Choose a contrasting center, the main flower or geometric shade and a framing color from that palette. Use the palest shade for the outer lace unless the reference has a dark outline. Write down the chosen round-by-round colors after the first sample so the whole set stays consistent.
  2. The written motif may simplify the reference. Work one complete motif and one join before multiplying pieces. Keep all border stitches accessible, sew appliques flat and record every size or color change. Close views and color variations use the same counted construction intentionally.

Solid square ground

  1. Round 1: In a magic ring work (3 dc, ch 2) four times; join to the first dc. [12 dc, four ch-2 corners]
  2. Round 2: Join the second color in a corner. Work (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in each corner and 1 dc in each of the three side stitches; join. [28 dc, four ch-2 corners; seven dc per side]
  3. Round 3: With the third color, work 1 dc in each dc and (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in each corner; join. [44 dc; 11 per side]
  4. Round 4: Repeat Round 3. [60 dc; 15 per side]
  5. Round 5: Repeat Round 3. [76 dc; 19 per side] Block to approximately 12 cm; change hook size if necessary. Each contrasting frame creates a geometric outline.

Twenty-petal rolled rose

  1. Ch 41. Row 1: sc in second chain and across [40]. Row 2: ch 1, turn; (sl st in next stitch, 7 dc in next) twenty times [20 petals, 140 dc and 20 sl sts]. Fasten off with a long sewing tail.
  2. Roll from one short end, keeping the foundation edges aligned at the bottom. Sew through every foundation layer as you roll, then stitch across the base in three directions. Spread outer petals gently. Make one rose per square and stitch its base to the ground around its perimeter and through the center; catch four outer petal bases so the rose cannot flip.
  3. Use two close shades of the listed red or green for subtle petal depth, with the ground in the same dark color family.
  4. Weigh the complete rose-on-square sample; dimensional roses add significant bulk and yarn use. The written rose is a separate securely sewn flower and does not claim to recreate the exact integrated rosette fabric in the reference.

Layout, joining and border

  1. Make 168 identical motifs. Block each to the same measured square width W. Lay out 12 columns by 14 rows; approximate finished size before borders is 12W by 14W. At W = 12 cm this is 144 × 168 cm; choose the motif size and layout from the actual bed measurements.
  2. With right sides together, whipstitch matching edge stitches through the outside loops. Join all vertical seams, then all horizontal seams. Match corresponding corners and leave no unsupported gap between four motifs.
  3. Border Round 1: sc in each exposed stitch, one sc in each ch-1 space and two sc in each ch-2 space; at the four outside corners work (sc, ch 2, sc). Adjust only at seam junctions to keep the border flat. Round 2: sc in each stitch, (sc, ch 2, sc) at each corner. Round 3: repeat Round 2. Record the actual perimeter count because motif layouts and seam junctions change it.
  4. For a cushion front, make a separate 3 × 3 motif panel. Sew three sides to a same-size fabric backing and use an envelope fabric overlap on the fourth side. The insert is purchased; there is no hidden crochet backing pattern.

Measured size and matching cushions

  1. Measure mattress width and length plus the desired side and foot drops. With washed motif width W, columns = ceil(required width/W) and rows = ceil(required length/W). Make their product in motifs. The 12 by 14 example uses 168 motifs: at W = 16 cm it is about 192 by 224 cm; at W = 12 cm only 144 by 168 cm, before borders. Recalculate instead of assuming every motif makes a bed-size cover.
  2. For two pillow fronts make eighteen additional motifs in two separate 3 by 3 panels. Sew each crochet front to a measured fabric envelope back and fit a purchased insert before closing the last seams. Weigh the washed finished motif, multiply by actual motif count, and add 15-20% for seams and edging.

Assembly and finishing

  1. Check all counts before joining. Weave ends through several stitches in three directions. Sew point joins more than once and distribute tension evenly.
  2. Wash a sample using the yarn care instructions, block gently and allow it to dry completely. Recheck fit or motif size after washing. These original patterns are photo-inspired and physically untested; they do not reproduce a verified photographed chart.

58. Multicolor Raised-Rose Bedspread

Multicolor Raised-Rose Bedspread in blue, gold, rust, sage, rose and cream
Multicolor Raised-Rose Bedspread – supplied reference for an original, physically untested interpretation.

This reference combines blue, gold, rust, sage, rose and cream in a multicolor raised-rose bedspread. The counted construction below interprets its main motif and arrangement.

Materials, gauge and size

Smooth DK yarn, approximately 2,500-4,500 g for a raised-rose full bedspread. Colors: blue, gold, rust, sage, rose and cream. Hook: 3.5-4.5 mm; use a smaller hook or finer yarn for appliques if needed. Quantities are estimates: weigh a washed complete motif, multiply by actual component count and add 15-20% for seams and edging.

Also use a yarn needle, scissors, stitch markers, measuring tape and blocking pins. Add measured fabric backs, sewing thread and purchased inserts for optional cushions. Raised roses add substantial weight and thickness; sample the entire flower-on-square construction.

Gauge and size: start near 16 dc by 9 rows or 20 sc by 22 rows per 10 cm as provisional swatches only. Measure a complete washed motif and the actual bed. Circle, hexagon, octagon and diagonal layouts require a multi-motif trial patch; one square measurement cannot establish their final geometry.

Palette and sample plan

  1. Palette: blue, gold, rust, sage, rose and cream. Choose a contrasting center, the main flower or geometric shade and a framing color from that palette. Use the palest shade for the outer lace unless the reference has a dark outline. Write down the chosen round-by-round colors after the first sample so the whole set stays consistent.
  2. The written motif may simplify the reference. Work one complete motif and one join before multiplying pieces. Keep all border stitches accessible, sew appliques flat and record every size or color change. Close views and color variations use the same counted construction intentionally.

Solid square ground

  1. Round 1: In a magic ring work (3 dc, ch 2) four times; join to the first dc. [12 dc, four ch-2 corners]
  2. Round 2: Join the second color in a corner. Work (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in each corner and 1 dc in each of the three side stitches; join. [28 dc, four ch-2 corners; seven dc per side]
  3. Round 3: With the third color, work 1 dc in each dc and (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in each corner; join. [44 dc; 11 per side]
  4. Round 4: Repeat Round 3. [60 dc; 15 per side]
  5. Round 5: Repeat Round 3. [76 dc; 19 per side] Block to approximately 12 cm; change hook size if necessary. Each contrasting frame creates a geometric outline.

Twenty-petal rolled rose

  1. Ch 41. Row 1: sc in second chain and across [40]. Row 2: ch 1, turn; (sl st in next stitch, 7 dc in next) twenty times [20 petals, 140 dc and 20 sl sts]. Fasten off with a long sewing tail.
  2. Roll from one short end, keeping the foundation edges aligned at the bottom. Sew through every foundation layer as you roll, then stitch across the base in three directions. Spread outer petals gently. Make one rose per square and stitch its base to the ground around its perimeter and through the center; catch four outer petal bases so the rose cannot flip.
  3. For the multicolor version use 28 roses in each of six colors for the 168-square example, with a common cream ground.
  4. Weigh the complete rose-on-square sample; dimensional roses add significant bulk and yarn use. The written rose is a separate securely sewn flower and does not claim to recreate the exact integrated rosette fabric in the reference.

Layout, joining and border

  1. Make 168 identical motifs. Block each to the same measured square width W. Lay out 12 columns by 14 rows; approximate finished size before borders is 12W by 14W. At W = 12 cm this is 144 × 168 cm; choose the motif size and layout from the actual bed measurements.
  2. With right sides together, whipstitch matching edge stitches through the outside loops. Join all vertical seams, then all horizontal seams. Match corresponding corners and leave no unsupported gap between four motifs.
  3. Border Round 1: sc in each exposed stitch, one sc in each ch-1 space and two sc in each ch-2 space; at the four outside corners work (sc, ch 2, sc). Adjust only at seam junctions to keep the border flat. Round 2: sc in each stitch, (sc, ch 2, sc) at each corner. Round 3: repeat Round 2. Record the actual perimeter count because motif layouts and seam junctions change it.
  4. For a cushion front, make a separate 3 × 3 motif panel. Sew three sides to a same-size fabric backing and use an envelope fabric overlap on the fourth side. The insert is purchased; there is no hidden crochet backing pattern.

Measured size and matching cushions

  1. Measure mattress width and length plus the desired side and foot drops. With washed motif width W, columns = ceil(required width/W) and rows = ceil(required length/W). Make their product in motifs. The 12 by 14 example uses 168 motifs: at W = 16 cm it is about 192 by 224 cm; at W = 12 cm only 144 by 168 cm, before borders. Recalculate instead of assuming every motif makes a bed-size cover.
  2. For two pillow fronts make eighteen additional motifs in two separate 3 by 3 panels. Sew each crochet front to a measured fabric envelope back and fit a purchased insert before closing the last seams. Weigh the washed finished motif, multiply by actual motif count, and add 15-20% for seams and edging.

Assembly and finishing

  1. Check all counts before joining. Weave ends through several stitches in three directions. Sew point joins more than once and distribute tension evenly.
  2. Wash a sample using the yarn care instructions, block gently and allow it to dry completely. Recheck fit or motif size after washing. These original patterns are photo-inspired and physically untested; they do not reproduce a verified photographed chart.

59. Pastel Filet-Square Bedspread

Pastel Filet-Square Bedspread in pale gold, mint, gray and ivory
Pastel Filet-Square Bedspread – supplied reference for an original, physically untested interpretation.

This reference combines pale gold, mint, gray and ivory in a pastel filet-square bedspread. The counted construction below interprets its main motif and arrangement.

Materials, gauge and size

Smooth DK cotton, cotton blend or washable wool, approximately 1,800-3,500 g for a full bedspread or 500-1,200 g for a smaller throw. Colors: pale gold, mint, gray and ivory. Hook: 3.5-4.5 mm; use a smaller hook or finer yarn for appliques if needed. Quantities are estimates: weigh a washed complete motif, multiply by actual component count and add 15-20% for seams and edging.

Also use a yarn needle, scissors, stitch markers, measuring tape and blocking pins. Add measured fabric backs, sewing thread and purchased inserts for optional cushions.

Gauge and size: start near 16 dc by 9 rows or 20 sc by 22 rows per 10 cm as provisional swatches only. Measure a complete washed motif and the actual bed. Circle, hexagon, octagon and diagonal layouts require a multi-motif trial patch; one square measurement cannot establish their final geometry.

Palette and sample plan

  1. Palette: pale gold, mint, gray and ivory. Choose a contrasting center, the main flower or geometric shade and a framing color from that palette. Use the palest shade for the outer lace unless the reference has a dark outline. Write down the chosen round-by-round colors after the first sample so the whole set stays consistent.
  2. The written motif may simplify the reference. Work one complete motif and one join before multiplying pieces. Keep all border stitches accessible, sew appliques flat and record every size or color change. Close views and color variations use the same counted construction intentionally.

Diamond filet square

  1. Ch 27. Row 1: Dc in fourth chain and across; skipped ch 3 counts as the first dc. [25 dc; eight cells of three positions plus one boundary dc]
  2. An open cell is ch 2, skip 2, dc in next stitch. A filled cell is dc in each of the next three positions. Above a chain space, a filled cell is 2 dc in the space and dc in its following dc. Begin each row with ch 3 as the counted boundary dc. Every row has eight cells, or 25 stitch/chain positions.
  3. Rows 2–13: Keep cells 1 and 8 filled as side borders. Fill the following center cells and leave the rest open: Row 2 cells 4–5; Row 3 cells 3–6; Row 4 cells 2–7; Row 5 cells 3–6; Row 6 cells 4–5; Rows 7–8 no extra filled cells; Row 9 cells 4–5; Row 10 cells 3–6; Row 11 cells 2–7; Row 12 cells 3–6; Row 13 cells 4–5.
  4. Row 14: Ch 3, turn; fill all eight cells. [25 dc] Edge with sc across the top and bottom, 2 sc per dc row-end on the sides, and 3 sc at corners. Block all units to one measured square size; add plain rows only if the washed sample needs more height.

Layout, joining and border

  1. Make 168 identical motifs. Block each to the same measured square width W. Lay out 12 columns by 14 rows; approximate finished size before borders is 12W by 14W. At W = 12 cm this is 144 × 168 cm; choose the motif size and layout from the actual bed measurements.

Hook: 3.5-4.5 mm; use a smaller hook or finer yarn for appliques if needed. Quantities are estimates: weigh a washed complete motif, multiply by actual component count and add 15-20% for seams and edging.

Also use a yarn needle, scissors, stitch markers, measuring tape and blocking pins. Add measured fabric backs, sewing thread and purchased inserts for optional cushions.

Gauge and size: start near 16 dc by 9 rows or 20 sc by 22 rows per 10 cm as provisional swatches only. Measure a complete washed motif and the actual bed. Circle, hexagon, octagon and diagonal layouts require a multi-motif trial patch; one square measurement cannot establish their final geometry.

Palette and sample plan

  1. Palette: lavender, sage, pale green and cream. Choose a contrasting center, the main flower or geometric shade and a framing color from that palette. Use the palest shade for the outer lace unless the reference has a dark outline. Write down the chosen round-by-round colors after the first sample so the whole set stays consistent.
  2. The written motif may simplify the reference. Work one complete motif and one join before multiplying pieces. Keep all border stitches accessible, sew appliques flat and record every size or color change. Close views and color variations use the same counted construction intentionally.

Two-layer flower square

  1. Round 1: With the center color work 8 sc in a magic ring; join [8]. Round 2: in each sc work (sc, ch 3, dc, ch 3, sl st) [eight small petals].
  2. Round 3: Behind the petals, sc around each Round-1 sc post, ch 5 after each sc [eight anchors, eight loops]. Round 4: into each loop work (sc, hdc, 5 dc, hdc, sc), then sl st into the next anchor sc [eight outer petals, nine stitches per petal plus eight anchor sl sts].
  3. Round 5: Behind the outer petals, sc around each Round-3 anchor post and ch 5 after each sc [eight anchors and eight loops]. Round 6: (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in first loop, 3 dc in next loop; repeat four times [36 dc, four corners].
  4. Round 7: Dc in each dc and (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in each corner [52 dc]. Round 8: sc in each dc and (sc, ch 2, sc) in each corner [60 sc, four corners]. Block square. Choose the center, petal and frame shades from the stated palette. Use the palest framing color on the last round unless the reference has a contrasting dark outer frame.

Layout, joining and border

  1. Make 168 identical motifs. Block each to the same measured square width W. Lay out 12 columns by 14 rows; approximate finished size before borders is 12W by 14W. At W = 12 cm this is 144 × 168 cm; choose the motif size and layout from the actual bed measurements.
  2. With right sides together, whipstitch matching edge stitches through the outside loops. Join all vertical seams, then all horizontal seams. Match corresponding corners and leave no unsupported gap between four motifs.
  3. Border Round 1: sc in each exposed stitch, one sc in each ch-1 space and two sc in each ch-2 space; at the four outside corners work (sc, ch 2, sc). Adjust only at seam junctions to keep the border flat. Round 2: sc in each stitch, (sc, ch 2, sc) at each corner. Round 3: repeat Round 2. Record the actual perimeter count because motif layouts and seam junctions change it.
  4. For a cushion front, make a separate 3 × 3 motif panel. Sew three sides to a same-size fabric backing and use an envelope fabric overlap on the fourth side. The insert is purchased; there is no hidden crochet backing pattern.

Measured size and matching cushions

  1. Measure mattress width and length plus the desired side and foot drops. With washed motif width W, columns = ceil(required width/W) and rows = ceil(required length/W). Make their product in motifs. The 12 by 14 example uses 168 motifs: at W = 16 cm it is about 192 by 224 cm; at W = 12 cm only 144 by 168 cm, before borders. Recalculate instead of assuming every motif makes a bed-size cover.
  2. For two pillow fronts make eighteen additional motifs in two separate 3 by 3 panels. Sew each crochet front to a measured fabric envelope back and fit a purchased insert before closing the last seams. Weigh the washed finished motif, multiply by actual motif count, and add 15-20% for seams and edging.

Assembly and finishing

  1. Check all counts before joining. Weave ends through several stitches in three directions. Sew point joins more than once and distribute tension evenly.
  2. Wash a sample using the yarn care instructions, block gently and allow it to dry completely. Recheck fit or motif size after washing. These original patterns are photo-inspired and physically untested; they do not reproduce a verified photographed chart.

61. Red Rose and Green Leaf Bedspread

Red Rose and Green Leaf Bedspread in red, burgundy, green and ivory
Red Rose and Green Leaf Bedspread – supplied reference for an original, physically untested interpretation.

This reference combines red, burgundy, green and ivory in a red rose and green leaf bedspread. The counted construction below interprets its main motif and arrangement.

Materials, gauge and size

Smooth DK yarn, approximately 2,500-4,500 g for a raised-rose full bedspread. Colors: red, burgundy, green and ivory. Hook: 3.5-4.5 mm; use a smaller hook or finer yarn for appliques if needed. Quantities are estimates: weigh a washed complete motif, multiply by actual component count and add 15-20% for seams and edging.

Also use a yarn needle, scissors, stitch markers, measuring tape and blocking pins. Add measured fabric backs, sewing thread and purchased inserts for optional cushions. Raised roses add substantial weight and thickness; sample the entire flower-on-square construction.

Gauge and size: start near 16 dc by 9 rows or 20 sc by 22 rows per 10 cm as provisional swatches only. Measure a complete washed motif and the actual bed. Circle, hexagon, octagon and diagonal layouts require a multi-motif trial patch; one square measurement cannot establish their final geometry.

Solid square ground

  1. Round 1: In a magic ring work (3 dc, ch 2) four times; join to the first dc. [12 dc, four ch-2 corners]
  2. Round 2: Join the second color in a corner. Work (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in each corner and 1 dc in each of the three side stitches; join. [28 dc, four ch-2 corners; seven dc per side]
  3. Round 3: With the third color, work 1 dc in each dc and (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in each corner; join. [44 dc; 11 per side]
  4. Round 4: Repeat Round 3. [60 dc; 15 per side]
  5. Round 5: Repeat Round 3. [76 dc; 19 per side] Block to approximately 12 cm; change hook size if necessary. Each contrasting frame creates a geometric outline.

Twenty-petal rolled rose

  1. Ch 41. Row 1: sc in second chain and across [40]. Row 2: ch 1, turn; (sl st in next stitch, 7 dc in next) twenty times [20 petals, 140 dc and 20 sl sts]. Fasten off with a long sewing tail.
  2. Roll from one short end, keeping the foundation edges aligned at the bottom. Sew through every foundation layer as you roll, then stitch across the base in three directions. Spread outer petals gently. Make one rose per square and stitch its base to the ground around its perimeter and through the center; catch four outer petal bases so the rose cannot flip.
  3. Use red and burgundy roses on ivory grounds, with two green leaves per square using the counted leaf below. Sew their full outlines beneath the rose.
  4. Weigh the complete rose-on-square sample; dimensional roses add significant bulk and yarn use. The written rose is a separate securely sewn flower and does not claim to recreate the exact integrated rosette fabric in the reference.
  1. Ch 13. Starting in the second chain work sc, hdc, dc in each of the next 8 chains, hdc, then 3 sc in the last chain. Rotate; work into the unused chain loops: hdc, dc in each of the next 8 chains, hdc, sc. Join to the first sc. [25 stitches]
  2. Ch 1; sl st loosely into each stitch around. Fasten off with a long tail. Sew only through the underside of the leaf edge to attach, keeping the center flexible.

Layout, joining and border

  1. Make 168 identical motifs. Block each to the same measured square width W. Lay out 12 columns by 14 rows; approximate finished size before borders is 12W by 14W. At W = 12 cm this is 144 × 168 cm; choose the motif size and layout from the actual bed measurements.
  2. With right sides together, whipstitch matching edge stitches through the outside loops. Join all vertical seams, then all horizontal seams. Match corresponding corners and leave no unsupported gap between four motifs.
  3. Border Round 1: sc in each exposed stitch, one sc in each ch-1 space and two sc in each ch-2 space; at the four outside corners work (sc, ch 2, sc). Adjust only at seam junctions to keep the border flat. Round 2: sc in each stitch, (sc, ch 2, sc) at each corner. Round 3: repeat Round 2. Record the actual perimeter count because motif layouts and seam junctions change it.
  4. For a cushion front, make a separate 3 × 3 motif panel. Sew three sides to a same-size fabric backing and use an envelope fabric overlap on the fourth side. The insert is purchased; there is no hidden crochet backing pattern.

Measured size and matching cushions

  1. Measure mattress width and length plus the desired side and foot drops. With washed motif width W, columns = ceil(required width/W) and rows = ceil(required length/W). Make their product in motifs. The 12 by 14 example uses 168 motifs: at W = 16 cm it is about 192 by 224 cm; at W = 12 cm only 144 by 168 cm, before borders. Recalculate instead of assuming every motif makes a bed-size cover.
  2. For two pillow fronts make eighteen additional motifs in two separate 3 by 3 panels. Sew each crochet front to a measured fabric envelope back and fit a purchased insert before closing the last seams. Weigh the washed finished motif, multiply by actual motif count, and add 15-20% for seams and edging.

Assembly and finishing

  1. Check all counts before joining. Weave ends through several stitches in three directions. Sew point joins more than once and distribute tension evenly.
  2. Wash a sample using the yarn care instructions, block gently and allow it to dry completely. Recheck fit or motif size after washing. These original patterns are photo-inspired and physically untested; they do not reproduce a verified photographed chart.
