Part 1: Understanding the Lattice Square Design

The bedspread is made from square crochet motifs featuring an open grid design framed by a solid crochet border.

Each square has three main sections:

• A textured outer frame
• An open lattice center
• A finishing border that makes joining easier

The squares are arranged in alternating shades of blue and white to create a balanced checkerboard appearance.

Suggested Color Arrangement

For a bedspread measuring approximately 220 × 240 cm, make 110 squares arranged in 10 columns and 11 rows.

Suggested distribution:

• 28 navy-blue squares
• 27 medium-blue squares
• 27 pale-blue squares
• 28 white squares

For a stronger checkerboard effect, alternate navy and medium blue with pale blue and white.

Sizing Note: Ten columns of 22 cm squares create approximately 220 cm of width. Eleven rows create approximately 242 cm of length before adding the border. Adjust the number of motifs according to your mattress size and desired drape.

Part 2: Crochet the Square Foundation

Use a 5 mm crochet hook and your chosen yarn color.

Foundation Chain

Ch 35.

Row 1

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

Turn.

Row 2

Ch 3, dc in each stitch across.

Turn.

Row 3

Ch 3, dc in the next 3 stitches.

*Ch 2, skip 2 stitches, dc in the next 2 stitches.*

Repeat the pattern across, adjusting the final solid section to keep the edges even.

Turn.

Row 4

Ch 3, dc in the next 3 stitches.

*Ch 2, skip the chain-space section, dc in the next 2 stitches.*

Repeat across.

Turn.

Rows 5–12

Continue repeating Row 4 to build the open lattice grid.

Keep the vertical double-crochet posts aligned above one another.

Row 13

Ch 3, dc across, working 2 dc into each ch-2 space.

Turn.

Row 14

Ch 3, dc in each stitch across.

FO, leaving a long tail.

Important: This is the basic lattice panel. Check your stitch count and dimensions after the first sample. If the panel is not square, adjust the number of lattice rows or foundation stitches before making the remaining motifs.

Part 3: Create the Raised Lattice Texture

The reference bedspread features prominent raised grid lines that give the squares a beautiful dimensional appearance.

To recreate this effect, add surface crochet lines over the lattice panel.

Step 1

Lay the finished lattice panel flat with the right side facing upward.

Step 2

Using the same yarn color, attach the yarn at the lower edge of the first vertical lattice post.

Step 3

Work surface slip stitches upward along the vertical post.

Step 4

Continue until you reach the upper edge.

Step 5

FO and weave the yarn ends into the back.

Step 6

Repeat along the remaining vertical posts.

Step 7

Add horizontal surface slip-stitch lines across the lattice at regular intervals.

Step 8

Keep the stitches relaxed so the panel remains flat.

This technique creates a raised grid texture without requiring complicated cable stitches.

Part 4: Crochet the Square Border

Use a 4.5 mm crochet hook.

Round 1

Attach yarn at one corner of the square.

Work sc evenly around all four sides.

At each corner, work:

(2 sc, ch 2, 2 sc).

Join with a sl st.

Round 2

Ch 2.

Work hdc in each stitch around.

At each corner ch-2 space, work:

(2 hdc, ch 2, 2 hdc).

Join with a sl st.

Round 3

Ch 3.

Work dc in each stitch around.

At each corner, work:

(2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc).

Join with a sl st.

Round 4

Work one round of sc around the square, maintaining the corner spaces.

FO and weave in the ends.

Block the finished square to approximately 22 × 22 cm.

Repeat the process until you have enough squares for the complete bedspread.

Part 5: Arrange the Blue and White Squares

Before joining, arrange all the squares on a clean floor or large table.

For a balanced color pattern, use the following repeating arrangement.

Row 1

Navy – White – Medium Blue – Pale Blue – Navy – White – Medium Blue – Pale Blue – Navy – White

Row 2

White – Medium Blue – Pale Blue – Navy – White – Medium Blue – Pale Blue – Navy – White – Medium Blue

Row 3

Medium Blue – Pale Blue – Navy – White – Medium Blue – Pale Blue – Navy – White – Medium Blue – Pale Blue

Row 4

Pale Blue – Navy – White – Medium Blue – Pale Blue – Navy – White – Medium Blue – Pale Blue – Navy

Repeat these four rows until the desired bedspread length is reached.

This arrangement distributes the colors evenly and gives the bedspread a fresh, coordinated appearance.

Part 6: Join the Crochet Squares

There are several ways to join the squares. A flat slip-stitch join works particularly well for this design.

Step 1

Place two squares side by side with their right sides facing upward.

Step 2

Insert your hook through the corresponding outer loops of both squares.

Step 3

Join the yarn and work a sl st through the matching loops.

Step 4

Continue joining across the entire edge.

Step 5

Repeat until all squares in the first row are joined.

Step 6

Join the squares in the remaining rows.

Step 7

Connect the completed rows using the same method.

Step 8

Weave in all yarn ends securely.

Tip: Use pale-blue or white yarn for the joining seams to create subtle decorative lines between the motifs.

Part 7: Crochet the Bedspread Border

Once all squares are joined, add a continuous border around the entire bedspread.

Use medium-blue yarn and a 4.5 mm crochet hook.

Round 1

Attach yarn at any corner.

Work sc evenly around the entire bedspread.

At each corner, work:

(2 sc, ch 2, 2 sc).

Join with a sl st.

Round 2

Ch 2.

Work hdc in each stitch around.

At each corner, work:

(2 hdc, ch 2, 2 hdc).

Join with a sl st.

Round 3

Ch 3.

Work dc in each stitch around.

At each corner, work:

(2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc).

Join with a sl st.

Round 4

Work one round of sc around the entire border.

FO and weave in the ends.

The finished border should be smooth and structured, framing the colorful square motifs.

Part 8: Make the Decorative Tassels

The large tassels are one of the most eye-catching features of this bedspread.

Use navy-blue, medium-blue, pale-blue, and white yarn.

Step 1

Cut a piece of cardboard approximately 15–18 cm long.

Step 2

Wrap yarn around the cardboard approximately 50–70 times.

Step 3

Slide a separate strand of yarn underneath the wrapped strands.

Step 4

Tie the strand tightly at the top.

Step 5

Carefully remove the wrapped yarn from the cardboard.

Step 6

Cut through the loops at the bottom.

Step 7

Wrap another strand around the tassel approximately 2 cm below the top.

Step 8

Tie securely to form the tassel head.

Step 9

Trim the bottom strands evenly.

Step 10

Repeat until you have enough tassels for the bedspread.

Suggested Tassel Arrangement

• Navy-blue tassel
• White tassel
• Medium-blue tassel
• Pale-blue tassel

Repeat this color sequence along the lower edge.

For a 220 cm wide bedspread, approximately 12–16 large tassels provide a decorative finish.

Attach each tassel securely to the lower border, spacing them evenly.

Part 9: Crochet the Matching Pillow Front

The matching pillow features the same lattice texture as the bedspread, framed by a contrasting border.

Use medium-blue yarn and a 5 mm crochet hook.

Step 1

Make one large lattice square using the same construction method as the bedspread motifs.

Step 2

Continue the lattice pattern until the panel measures approximately 35 × 35 cm.

Step 3

Add a decorative white border around the square.

Step 4

Continue the border until the pillow front measures approximately 40 × 40 cm.

Step 5

Add raised surface crochet lines to match the bedspread texture.

Step 6

Block the panel and allow it to dry completely.

Part 10: Crochet the Pillow Back
