Part 1: Crochet the 3D Flower Center
Round 1 – Cream Center
Make a magic ring. CH 2, work 12 HDC into the ring. Pull tight and join with SL ST.
Round 2 – Raised Flower Petals
Using cream yarn, create 6 petals. For each petal, work into the front loops of two consecutive stitches: SL ST in the first stitch, CH 2, work 3 DC in the next stitch, CH 2, SL ST in the same stitch. Repeat around.
Round 3 – Sage Green Petals
Attach sage green yarn behind the cream petals. Work CH 3 loops around the flower base. Into each loop, crochet (SC, HDC, 3 DC, HDC, SC).
Round 4 – Dark Green Outer Petals
Attach forest green yarn behind the sage petals. Create 6 CH 4 loops and work (SC, HDC, 5 DC, HDC, SC) into each loop.
The flower should have three dimensional layers.
Part 2: Turn the Flower Into a Granny Square
Round 5 – Square Foundation
Attach cream yarn behind the petals. Create four corners using groups of 3 DC, CH 2, 3 DC. Distribute DC groups and chain spaces evenly along the sides.
Round 6 – Sage Green Detail
Work 3 DC into each side space. At each corner, work (3 DC, CH 2, 3 DC).
Round 7 – Cream Border
Work DC stitches around the square, maintaining 2 CH at each corner.
Round 8 – Decorative Edging
Work SC around the square. Add small picots or CH 3 loops for a delicate lace effect.
Make every square the same size before joining.
Part 3: Assemble the Bedspread
For a queen-size bedspread, start with approximately 100–140 granny squares, depending on your finished square dimensions and desired drape.
Arrange the squares in straight rows, alternating the flower color emphasis for a balanced design.
Join using cream yarn and a flat slip-stitch join or a decorative chain-space join.
Part 4: Crochet the Outer Border
Round 1: SC evenly around the entire blanket.
Round 2: DC around, working (2 DC, CH 2, 2 DC) at each corner.
Round 3: Create a decorative lace border using CH 3 loops.
Round 4: Finish with SC and picot edging.
Part 5: Add the Luxury Tassels
Cut approximately 20–25 strands of yarn, each 25–30 cm long, for every tassel.
Fold strands in half, wrap yarn around the upper section to form the tassel head, and secure tightly.
Attach alternating cream and sage green tassels along the bottom edge and optionally the sides.
Finishing
Weave in all loose ends, gently wet-block the squares and bedspread to even out the joins, and allow everything to dry completely.
Final result: A luxurious, textured floral crochet bedspread with layered flowers, elegant granny-square construction, soft botanical colors, and handmade tassel detailing.
Note: The photo contains intricate, possibly stylized stitch details. A test square is recommended before making the full bedspread, and the flower and square instructions may need adjustment to fit together evenly.
