Part 1: Understanding the Blanket Design

The bedspread is made with a repeating sequence of cream textured sections and narrower autumn-colored stripes.

The main design features:

• Wide ivory sections for a soft neutral background
• Burnt-orange stripes for warmth
• Mustard-yellow stripes for golden autumn accents
• Olive-green stripes for earthy contrast
• Alternating solid and openwork stitch patterns
• Raised textured rows for added dimension
• A decorative border around the entire blanket
• Colorful handmade tassels along the lower and side edges

The stripe sequence can be repeated until the desired blanket length is reached.

Part 2: Make a Gauge Swatch

Using ivory yarn and a 5.5 mm hook, crochet a sample measuring approximately 15 × 15 cm.

Work several rows of double crochet and the textured stitch patterns used in this project.

Measure the center 10 cm of the swatch.

A suggested starting gauge is approximately 13 double crochet stitches and 8 rows per 10 cm.

Adjust your hook size if necessary.

For the most accurate blanket measurements, wash and dry the gauge swatch before measuring.

Part 3: Crochet the Blanket Foundation

Using ivory yarn:

Foundation Row

Ch 288.

Row 1

Dc in the fourth chain from the hook and in every remaining chain.

You should have 286 dc, counting the turning chain as a stitch.

Row 2

Ch 3, turn. Dc across.

Rows 3–6

Repeat Row 2.

This creates the first solid ivory section.

Check that your blanket lies flat and that the stitch count remains consistent.

Part 4: Create the Textured Cream Stitch Pattern

This section gives the bedspread its cozy raised texture.

Row 7

Ch 3, turn.

Alternate FPdc and BPdc around the stitches of the previous row, keeping the edge stitches in regular dc.

Row 8

Ch 3, turn.

Work FPdc around raised front posts and BPdc around recessed back posts as they appear from the working side.

Rows 9–10

Repeat Rows 7–8.

This creates a raised ribbed texture that adds depth and warmth to the blanket.

Part 5: Crochet the Burnt-Orange Stripe

Change to burnt-orange yarn.

Row 11

Ch 3, turn. Dc across.

Row 12

Ch 3, turn. Dc across.

Row 13

Ch 3, turn. Alternate FPdc and BPdc across, keeping the edge stitches in dc.

Row 14

Ch 3, turn. Continue the raised stitch pattern.

Row 15

Ch 3, turn. Dc across.

The burnt-orange stripe should form a bold textured band against the ivory background.

Part 6: Crochet the Airy Ivory Section

Change back to ivory yarn.

Row 16

Ch 3, turn. Dc across.

Row 17

Ch 4, turn. Skip the first stitch after the turning chain, then work *dc in the next stitch, ch 1, skip 1 stitch*. Repeat across, maintaining a neat edge.

Row 18

Ch 3, turn. Work dc into each stitch and chain space across, adjusting the final stitch to maintain the established width.

Rows 19–22

Dc across each row.

This creates a lighter openwork section between the colored stripes.

Part 7: Crochet the Mustard-Yellow Stripe

Change to mustard-yellow yarn.

Rows 23–24

Ch 3, turn. Dc across.

Rows 25–26

Work alternating FPdc and BPdc to create a textured ribbed stripe.

Row 27

Dc across.

The mustard-yellow band adds a warm golden accent to the bedspread.

Part 8: Crochet the Olive-Green Stripe

Work another ivory section using the same stitch pattern from Part 6.

Then change to olive-green yarn.

Green Stripe Row 1

Ch 3, turn. Dc across.

Green Stripe Row 2

Ch 3, turn. Dc across.

Green Stripe Rows 3–4

Alternate FPdc and BPdc to create a raised texture.

Green Stripe Row 5

Dc across.

This earthy green shade balances the brighter autumn colors.

Part 9: Repeat the Autumn Stripe Sequence

Continue crocheting the blanket using the following repeating arrangement:

1. Wide ivory textured section
2. Burnt-orange stripe
3. Ivory openwork section
4. Mustard-yellow stripe
5. Ivory textured section
6. Olive-green stripe
7. Ivory openwork section

Repeat this sequence until the blanket measures approximately 240 cm in length.

Finish with a wide ivory section to balance the design.

Use the same stripe order throughout the project for a coordinated appearance.

Part 10: Crochet the Decorative Blanket Border

Using ivory yarn and a 5.5 mm hook:

Border Round 1

Work sc evenly around all four edges.

Place 3 sc in each corner.

Join with a sl st.

Border Round 2

Ch 3 and work dc around.

Work 3 dc in each corner stitch.

Join with a sl st.

Border Round 3

Work sc around, placing 3 sc in each corner.

Border Round 4

Work a simple scalloped edging:

*Skip 1 stitch, 5 dc in the next stitch, skip 1 stitch, sl st in the next stitch.*

Repeat around, adjusting the spacing near corners if necessary.

FO and weave in all ends.

Part 11: Make the Colorful Tassels

The decorative tassels are one of the most distinctive features of this autumn bedspread.

Make tassels in ivory, burnt orange, mustard yellow, and olive green.

Step 1

Cut a piece of cardboard approximately 12–15 cm long.

Step 2

Wrap yarn around the cardboard approximately 35–45 times.

Step 3

Slide a separate strand of yarn beneath the wrapped strands and tie securely at the top.

Step 4

Cut the loops along the opposite edge.

Step 5

Wrap another strand of yarn around the bundle approximately 2 cm below the top to create the tassel head.

Step 6

Tie securely and hide the knot inside the tassel.

Step 7

Trim the ends evenly.

Repeat until you have enough tassels for your blanket.

Part 12: Attach the Tassel Border

Lay the finished bedspread flat.

Arrange the tassels along the lower edge and both side edges.

Alternate colors in this order:

• Burnt orange
• Ivory
• Olive green
• Mustard yellow

Space the tassels approximately 10–12 cm apart.

Attach each tassel securely to the border using its top yarn strands.

For a full-size bedspread, approximately 45–60 tassels may be required, depending on placement and spacing.

Check that all tassels hang evenly.

Part 13: Crochet Matching Striped Pillow Covers

To complete the bedroom set, make two coordinating pillow covers using the same autumn colors.

Each pillow cover is designed for an approximately 45 × 45 cm pillow insert.

Front Panel

Using ivory yarn, chain enough stitches to achieve a width of approximately 45 cm based on your gauge.

Work the same textured stripe sequence used in the bedspread.

Alternate ivory sections with narrower burnt-orange, mustard-yellow, and olive-green bands.

Continue until the panel measures approximately 45 cm tall.

Back Panel

Make a second square using ivory yarn and simple double crochet rows.

Alternatively, make two overlapping rectangular panels for an envelope-style opening.

Assembly

Place the front and back panels together with the right sides facing outward.

Join three sides using single crochet.

Insert the pillow form.

Close the remaining side using slip stitches or a removable closure.

Part 14: Add Decorative Pillow Tassels

Make four small ivory tassels for each pillow.

Attach one tassel to each corner.

Trim them to approximately 7–9 cm long.

For an elegant finish, use ivory tassels on the pillows and colorful tassels on the bedspread.

Part 15: Blocking and Finishing

Step 1

Weave in all loose yarn ends.

Step 2

Lay the bedspread on a large clean surface.

Step 3

Gently stretch and shape the blanket to the desired measurements.

Step 4

Lightly dampen or steam-block according to the yarn manufacturer’s instructions.

Step 5

Allow the blanket to dry completely.

Step 6

Check the tassels and trim any uneven strands.

Step 7

Arrange the matching pillows on the bed.

Your beautiful autumn crochet bedroom set is complete!
