8 Crochet Blanket and Bedspread Ideas

1. Ivory Petal and Filet Bedspread

This ivory petal and filet bedspread highlights ivory. The written version explains a complete original construction while simplifying details that cannot be recovered reliably from the photograph.

Materials, gauge and size

DK yarn, approximately 1,500–3,500 g for a 168-motif bedspread, or 500–1,000 g for the sample textured throw. Colors: ivory. Hook: 3.5–4.5 mm. Quantities are estimates; weigh a sample and add 15–20% for assembly, edging and adjustments.

Also use a yarn needle, scissors, markers, measuring tape and blocking pins.

Gauge and size: Complete, wash and weigh one motif or a full repeat swatch. Use its measured width W to calculate bed coverage; the photograph supplies no reliable scale.

Four-petal lace square

1. Round 1: Work 8 sc in a magic ring; join [8]. Round 2: repeat (sc in next stitch, ch 10, skip next stitch) four times [four anchors and four loops].
2. Round 3: into each loop work (sc, hdc, 9 dc, hdc, sc), then sl st in its next anchor sc [four petals, thirteen stitches per petal plus four anchor sl sts].
3. Round 4: behind each petal, sc around the corresponding Round-2 anchor post and ch 7 [four sc and four loops]. Round 5: in each loop work (5 dc, ch 2, 5 dc) [40 dc and four ch-2 corners].
4. Round 6: sc in every dc and (sc, ch 2, sc) in each corner [48 sc, four corners; twelve sc per side]. For corner picots, work ch 3 and sl st into the first chain at each corner instead of enlarging the corner space.
5. Make one square as a coaster-scale sample or four for a 2 × 2 panel. Whipstitch corresponding edge loops without tightening. Block square and weave ends. This is a simpler framed four-petal motif than the intricate layered reference.

Filet companion squares

1. Make a companion sample: ch 15; Row 1 dc in fourth chain and across [13 including skipped ch 3]. Row 2: ch 3 counts as first dc, turn; (ch 2, skip 2, dc in next) four times [5 dc, 4 spaces; 13 positions]. Row 3: ch 3 counts as first dc; (2 dc in next space, dc in next dc) four times [13]. Repeat Rows 2–3 through Row 7, ending with a solid row.
2. Sc around with three sc at corners. Measure against the washed petal square. If widths differ, calculate the required dc positions from target width times dc stitches per cm, round to 3n + 1 and add two foundation chains. Each mesh row then has n cells. Add or remove complete mesh/solid row pairs until the height also matches. Make one matching pair before multiplying to a full cover; never stretch an unmatched motif to fit. These are independently measured original companion squares.

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.

Alternating layout note

1. For the 168-square layout make 84 petal squares and 84 filet squares. Alternate them in a checkerboard, starting every other row with the opposite type. Align outer edges before sewing. Use the border and joining instructions above after the checkerboard has been pinned flat.

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. Red, Green and Gold Granny Cover

This red, green and gold granny cover highlights red, forest green, gold and ivory. The written version explains a complete original construction while simplifying details that cannot be recovered reliably from the photograph.

Materials, gauge and size

DK yarn, approximately 1,500–3,500 g for a 168-motif bedspread, or 500–1,000 g for the sample textured throw. Colors: red, forest green, gold and ivory. Hook: 3.5–4.5 mm. Quantities are estimates; weigh a sample and add 15–20% for assembly, edging and adjustments.

Also use a yarn needle, scissors, markers, measuring tape and blocking pins.

Gauge and size: Complete, wash and weigh one motif or a full repeat swatch. Use its measured width W to calculate bed coverage; the photograph supplies no reliable scale.

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.

Color and motif plan

1. For each granny square use ivory center rounds, gold for one middle round, green for the next, and red for the outside. Make 168 squares for the example layout.
2. Block one complete motif, measure W and calculate actual bed coverage before making the whole set. A purchased pillow insert needs a separate cover; for one front make a 3 × 3 panel with the same motifs and sew it to a measured fabric envelope backing.

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.

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.

Color and motif plan

1. Use the single stated main color throughout the motif; the counted original motif simplifies the larger lace network visible in the reference.
2. Block one complete motif, measure W and calculate actual bed coverage before making the whole set. A purchased pillow insert needs a separate cover; for one front make a 3 × 3 panel with the same motifs and sew it to a measured fabric envelope backing.

Four-petal lace square

1. Round 1: Work 8 sc in a magic ring; join [8]. Round 2: repeat (sc in next stitch, ch 10, skip next stitch) four times [four anchors and four loops].
2. Round 3: into each loop work (sc, hdc, 9 dc, hdc, sc), then sl st in its next anchor sc [four petals, thirteen stitches per petal plus four anchor sl sts].
3. Round 4: behind each petal, sc around the corresponding Round-2 anchor post and ch 7 [four sc and four loops]. Round 5: in each loop work (5 dc, ch 2, 5 dc) [40 dc and four ch-2 corners].
4. Round 6: sc in every dc and (sc, ch 2, sc) in each corner [48 sc, four corners; twelve sc per side]. For corner picots, work ch 3 and sl st into the first chain at each corner instead of enlarging the corner space.
5. Make one square as a coaster-scale sample or four for a 2 × 2 panel. Whipstitch corresponding edge loops without tightening. Block square and weave ends. This is a simpler framed four-petal motif than the intricate layered reference.

Color and motif plan

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.

Color and motif plan

1. Alternate 84 squares with purple centers and cream outer rounds with 84 squares in the reverse order. Use the same six-round granny construction for both.
2. Block one complete motif, measure W and calculate actual bed coverage before making the whole set. A purchased pillow insert needs a separate cover; for one front make a 3 × 3 panel with the same motifs and sew it to a measured fabric envelope backing.

6. Rainbow Chevron Bedspread

This rainbow chevron bedspread highlights red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, black and white. The written version explains a complete original construction while simplifying details that cannot be recovered reliably from the photograph.

Materials, gauge and size

DK yarn, approximately 1,500–3,500 g for a 168-motif bedspread, or 500–1,000 g for the sample textured throw. Colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, black and white. Hook: 3.5–4.5 mm. Quantities are estimates; weigh a sample and add 15–20% for assembly, edging and adjustments.

Also use a yarn needle, scissors, markers, measuring tape and blocking pins.

Gauge and size: Complete, wash and weigh one motif or a full repeat swatch. Use its measured width W to calculate bed coverage; the photograph supplies no reliable scale.

Two chevron panels — 145 positions each

1. Make two equal panels. For each ch 147. Row 1: dc in fourth chain and across [145 including skipped ch 3]. Row 2: ch 3 counts as first dc, turn; dc in same first stitch [2]; then work (dc in next 10, dc3tog over next 3, dc in next 10, 3 dc in next) five times; finish dc in next 10, dc3tog, dc in next 10, 2 dc in last [145 output]. Each full repeat consumes 24 and produces 24; the row consumes 1 + 120 + 24 = 145, and produces 2 + 120 + 23 = 145. Dc3tog means three unfinished dc closed together, consuming three base stitches and producing one top.
2. Repeat Row 2 for a total of 140 rows, keeping peaks above peaks and valleys above valleys. Change color every two rows, cycling through the stated rainbow colors with a black and a white stripe between color cycles. Measure the washed panel before fixing the full row count.
3. Make two panels and join their long straight side edges with matching stitches; pin first so corresponding peaks align. Add a sc outline, placing three sc at each peak and sc3tog across valley centers. The perimeter count varies with the number of chevrons and rows. This gives a counted ripple interpretation rather than the reference’s precise stripe sequence.

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. Ivory Pebble-Texture Throw

This ivory pebble-texture throw highlights ivory. The written version explains a complete original construction while simplifying details that cannot be recovered reliably from the photograph.

Materials, gauge and size

DK yarn, approximately 1,500–3,500 g for a 168-motif bedspread, or 500–1,000 g for the sample textured throw. Colors: ivory. Hook: 3.5–4.5 mm. Quantities are estimates; weigh a sample and add 15–20% for assembly, edging and adjustments.

Also use a yarn needle, scissors, markers, measuring tape and blocking pins.

Gauge and size: Complete, wash and weigh one motif or a full repeat swatch. Use its measured width W to calculate bed coverage; the photograph supplies no reliable scale.

Textured rectangular blanket

1. Ch 122. Row 1: Sc in second chain and across. [121 sc]
2. Row 2: Ch 1, turn; sc in first stitch, then repeat (dc in next stitch, sc in next stitch) 60 times. [61 sc and 60 dc; 121 stitches]
3. Row 3: Ch 1, turn; sc in every stitch. [121 sc]
4. Repeat Rows 2–3 until there are 150 rows total, finishing with a plain sc row if needed. For a larger blanket add foundation stitches in multiples of two, then work the required number of complete two-row repeats. Measure the washed swatch rather than assuming a bed-size result.
5. Work two sc rounds around the rectangle, with 3 sc at each corner and one sc per sc row-end or 2 sc per dc-height row-end on the sides. For a scalloped table-style edge, repeat (skip 1, 5 dc in next stitch, skip 1, sl st in next stitch), using plain sc to absorb leftover stitches near corners. Weave in ends and dry flat.

Size planning

1. The 121-stitch × 150-row rectangle is a throw sample. Measure its washed width and length; for a bed cover choose an odd stitch count from bed width × stitches per cm, add one foundation chain, and repeat the two texture rows to the desired length. Yarn estimates must come from the actual sample weight.

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.

8. Olive Floral Lace Bedspread

This olive floral lace bedspread highlights olive green. The written version explains a complete original construction while simplifying details that cannot be recovered reliably from the photograph.

Materials, gauge and size

DK yarn, approximately 1,500–3,500 g for a 168-motif bedspread, or 500–1,000 g for the sample textured throw. Colors: olive green. Hook: 3.5–4.5 mm. Quantities are estimates; weigh a sample and add 15–20% for assembly, edging and adjustments.

Also use a yarn needle, scissors, markers, measuring tape and blocking pins.

Gauge and size: Complete, wash and weigh one motif or a full repeat swatch. Use its measured width W to calculate bed coverage; the photograph supplies no reliable scale.

Eight-petal lace medallion

1. Joined rounds: ch 4 and join to form a ring. Round 1: 16 sc into ring [16]. Round 2: (sc in next stitch, ch 7, skip next stitch) eight times; join [8 anchors and 8 loops].
2. Round 3: into each loop work (sc, hdc, 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc, hdc, sc); sl st into next anchor [8 petals; 10 stitches and one ch-2 tip each]. Round 4: behind each petal, sc around its Round-2 anchor post and ch 9 [8 anchors, 8 loops].
3. Round 5: into each back loop work (sc, hdc, 4 dc, ch 2, 4 dc, hdc, sc); sl st into the next anchor [8 larger petals; 12 stitches per petal]. Round 6: sc in every petal stitch and (sc, ch 3, sc) in each tip; skip old anchor sl sts [112 sc and 8 ch-3 tips].
4. For a square frame, Round 7: from a tip work (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in that tip; ch 3, work 3 dc in the next tip, ch 3. Repeat four times around, using alternate tips for corners [36 dc, 4 corner spaces and 8 ch-3 side spaces]. Round 8: sc in each dc, 3 sc in every side space and (sc, ch 2, sc) in each corner [68 sc, 4 corners; 17 sc per side]. This square frame is an original simplification; block it before committing to a full bedspread.

Color and motif plan

1. Use the single stated main color throughout the motif; the counted original motif simplifies the larger lace network visible in the reference.
2. Block one complete motif, measure W and calculate actual bed coverage before making the whole set. A purchased pillow insert needs a separate cover; for one front make a 3 × 3 panel with the same motifs and sew it to a measured fabric envelope backing.

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.

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.
