Step 1: Crochet the Floral Center
Round 1:
Make a magic ring.
CH 3 (counts as first DC), work 15 DC into the ring.
Pull the ring closed and join with SL ST.
Total: 16 DC.
Round 2:
CH 1, SC in the same stitch.
Repeat (CH 3, skip 1 stitch, SC in next stitch) around.
For the final repeat, CH 3, skip the last stitch and join to the first SC.
You should have 8 chain loops.
Round 3:
Work into each CH-3 space:
SC, HDC, 3 DC, HDC, SC.
Repeat around all 8 spaces.
Join with SL ST.
You now have a beautiful eight-petal flower.
Round 4:
Working behind the petals, attach yarn around one of the SC anchor stitches from Round 2.
CH 4, SC around the next anchor stitch behind the petals.
Repeat around to create 8 loops.
Round 5:
Into each CH-4 loop, work:
SC, HDC, 5 DC, HDC, SC.
Repeat around.
Fasten off.
This creates a dimensional flower with raised petals.
Step 2: Create the Floral Square
Round 6:
Attach yarn behind the flower at one of the eight anchor points.
CH 3, 2 DC, CH 2, 3 DC into the same anchor space.
Work 3 DC into the next anchor space.
Repeat the corner group (3 DC, CH 2, 3 DC) in every second anchor space, and 3 DC in each intervening anchor space.
Join with SL ST.
Round 7:
SL ST to the nearest corner space.
Work (3 DC, CH 2, 3 DC) into the corner.
CH 2, skip the next 3-DC group, work 3 DC into the following space between groups, CH 2.
Continue the mesh pattern around the square, maintaining the corner groups.
Join with SL ST.
Round 8:
Work 1 SC in each DC and 2 SC in each CH-2 space.
At each corner, work:
2 SC, CH 2, 2 SC.
Join and fasten off.
Block the finished square to approximately 20 × 20 cm.
Step 3: Make the Full Bedspread
For a queen-size bedspread, make approximately 132 floral squares.
Arrange them into 11 columns and 12 rows.
The exact number depends on the finished size of your blocked motifs and your preferred bedspread dimensions.
Step 4: Join the Squares
Place two completed squares together with right sides facing.
Insert the crochet hook through the corresponding back loops.
Join with SL ST along the edges.
Continue joining squares into rows.
Join all rows together to create one large rectangular blanket.
Weave in all loose ends.
Step 5: Crochet the Decorative Border
Round 1:
Work SC evenly around the entire blanket.
At each corner, work 3 SC.
Round 2:
CH 3, skip 2 stitches, SC in the next stitch.
Repeat around, adjusting the spacing at corners.
Round 3:
Work 5 DC into each CH-3 loop and SC into the next loop.
Repeat around to create a decorative scalloped border.
Round 4 (Optional):
Add another round of shell stitches for a wider lace edging.
Step 6: Add the Fringe
Cut ivory yarn into strands approximately 30–35 cm long.
Fold 3 or 4 strands in half.
Insert the crochet hook through a border stitch.
Pull the folded loop through the stitch.
Pass the loose ends through the loop and tighten gently.
Repeat evenly along the bottom and side edges.
Trim the fringe to approximately 12–15 cm.
Step 7: Crochet Matching Pillow Covers
Make four floral squares for each pillow front.
Arrange the squares into a 2 × 2 layout.
Join them using SL ST.
Create a matching back panel using DC stitches.
Join the front and back panels along three sides.
Insert the pillow form.
Close the remaining side.
Finish with a decorative scalloped border.
Finishing Instructions
Gently wash the finished crochet bedspread using cool water and mild detergent.
Lay it flat to dry.
Shape the floral motifs and straighten the scalloped edges.
Once completely dry, spread the blanket across the bed.
Arrange the matching pillows and allow the decorative fringe to hang naturally.
Helpful Crochet Tips
Use consistent yarn tension throughout the project.
Block each floral square before joining to maintain uniform sizing.
Choose soft cotton-blend yarn for beautiful stitch definition.
Use stitch markers to identify corners while joining.
Make one complete sample motif and measure it before purchasing yarn for the entire blanket.
