Part 1: Crochet the Floral Center
Round 1 – Foundation Ring
Make a magic ring.
CH 3 (counts as first DC), work 11 DC into the ring.
Pull the ring closed and join with SL ST.
Total: 12 DC.
Round 2 – Flower Petals
CH 1.
In the first stitch, work (SC, CH 2, 3 DC, CH 2, SC).
Skip the next stitch.
Repeat the petal sequence in every other stitch around.
Join with SL ST.
You should have 6 raised flower petals.
Round 3 – Flower Background
Working behind the petals, attach yarn around a post from Round 1.
CH 4, SC around the next alternate post.
Repeat around to create 6 chain loops behind the flower.
Join with SL ST.
Part 2: Transform the Flower Into a Square
Round 4 – Lace Foundation
Work into the six CH-4 loops.
CH 3, work 4 DC in the first loop, CH 2.
Work 5 DC in each remaining loop, separating groups with CH 2.
Join with SL ST.
Round 5 – Square Shaping
Establish four corners by distributing the stitch groups evenly.
Work (3 DC, CH 2, 3 DC) into each designated corner space.
Between corners, work CH-3 arches anchored with SC into the previous round.
Keep all four sides symmetrical.
Round 6 – Decorative Lace
CH 3.
Work DC groups along each side, with CH-2 spaces between groups to create the openwork texture.
At each corner, work (3 DC, CH 3, 3 DC).
Join with SL ST.
Round 7 – Square Border
Work SC evenly along the edges.
At each corner, work (2 SC, CH 2, 2 SC).
Fasten off and weave in ends.
Each completed square should measure approximately 8–10 inches after blocking. Adjust the number of lace rounds to achieve your preferred size.
Part 3: Join the Crochet Squares
Make enough identical floral squares to cover your desired bedspread size.
For a queen-size bedspread using 10-inch squares, make approximately 90 squares arranged in 9 columns × 10 rows.
Place two squares with right sides facing.
Join using SL ST through corresponding edge stitches, or use a flat SC joining technique.
Continue joining squares into rows, then join the rows together.
For a delicate lace effect similar to the photograph, use a chain-loop joining method between matching edge spaces.
Part 4: Crochet the Scalloped Border
Round 1: Attach yarn at any corner. Work SC evenly around the entire bedspread, placing 3 SC at each corner.
Round 2: CH 3, skip 2 stitches, SC in the next stitch. Repeat around to create small chain arches.
Round 3: In each CH-3 space, work (SC, HDC, 3 DC, HDC, SC) to form a scallop.
Repeat around the entire blanket.
Fasten off and weave in all remaining ends.
Part 5: Finishing and Blocking
Gently wash the completed blanket according to your yarn’s care instructions.
Lay it flat on a clean surface and shape the squares into an even grid. Pin the scalloped edges into place and allow the blanket to dry completely.
This helps open the lace details and gives the bedspread a polished, professional finish.
Tips for a Beautiful Result
Use the same hook size and yarn throughout the project to maintain consistent tension. Make and block one test square before calculating the final number of motifs.
For a more luxurious appearance, choose mercerized cotton yarn in a soft champagne or ivory shade. A slightly smaller hook can create the defined floral texture seen in the reference.
Final Result
Your finished crochet bedspread will feature a repeating arrangement of floral lace squares, delicate openwork, and a romantic scalloped edge that drapes elegantly over the sides of the bed.
