Make a magic ring.

Ch 3 (counts as first dc), work 15 dc into the ring.

Sl st into the top of the beginning ch-3 to join.

You should have 16 dc.

Round 2: Create the Petal Foundations

Ch 1.

Sc in the same stitch.

*Ch 5, skip 1 stitch, sc in the next stitch.*

Repeat around.

Join with a sl st.

You should have 8 chain loops.

Round 3: Crochet the First Petal Layer

Sl st into the first ch-5 space.

Work the following into each chain space:

• 1 sc
• 1 hdc
• 5 dc
• 1 hdc
• 1 sc

Repeat in each ch-5 space.

Join with a sl st.

You now have eight rounded flower petals.

Round 4: Create the Openwork Behind the Petals

Working behind the petals, attach the yarn at the base of a petal.

Ch 7.

Sc into the base between the next two petals.

Repeat around to create eight larger chain loops behind the first petal layer.

Round 5: Crochet the Large Outer Petals

Sl st into the first ch-7 space.

The next step is to transform the round flower motif into a square lace panel.

Round 6: Establish the Square Corners

Attach yarn between two outer petals.

Ch 4.

Work a series of chain spaces around the flower, positioning four larger chain spaces evenly around the motif to establish the square corners.

Use ch-7 spaces for the corners and ch-4 spaces between them.

Work dc stitches into the chain spaces.

At each corner, work:

(3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc).

Continue around the motif, keeping the sides even.

Join with a sl st.

Round 8: Create the Lace Openwork

Ch 3.

Work alternating dc groups and ch-2 spaces along each side.

At each corner, work:

(2 dc, ch 3, 2 dc).

Repeat around.

Round 10: Finish the Square

Work one round of sc around the entire motif.

Place 3 sc into each corner space.

FO and weave in the ends.

Block the finished square into a neat shape.

Target Motif Size: Approximately 28–30 cm square after blocking.

Part 3: Make the Bedspread Panels

For a bedspread measuring approximately 220 × 240 cm, arrange your floral squares in a rectangular layout.

A suggested arrangement is:

• 7 floral squares across
• 8 floral squares down
• 56 floral squares total

Adjust the number of motifs according to your finished square size and the dimensions of your bed.

For a smaller bedspread, reduce the number of rows or columns.

For a larger king-size bedspread, add additional floral squares.

Part 4: Join the Floral Squares

The photographed bedspread features neat joining strips that create a beautiful grid between the flower motifs.

Step 1: Arrange the Squares

Lay all completed motifs on a flat surface.

Position them with the right sides facing upward.

Check that the floral centers are aligned consistently.

Step 2: Join the Squares

Place two squares with right sides together.

Using dusty blue yarn, join the corresponding edge stitches with slip stitches or single crochet.

Continue joining the squares into horizontal rows.

Step 3: Join the Rows

Connect the completed rows using the same joining method.

Keep the joins relaxed so the bedspread lies flat.

Step 4: Add Raised Joining Strips

For a decorative raised effect, work one row of sc along each joining seam.

This creates a defined grid that frames the floral motifs beautifully.

Part 5: Crochet the Outer Blue Border

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

Round 1

Attach dusty blue yarn at any corner.

Work sc evenly around all four sides.

At each corner, work 3 sc.

Round 2

Ch 3.

Work dc in each stitch around.

Maintain even spacing at the corners.

Round 4

Work one final round of sc to stabilize the border.

FO and weave in the ends.

Part 6: Crochet the Ivory Scalloped Lace Edging

The beautiful ivory lace edging adds a romantic finishing touch and creates a lovely contrast with the dusty blue floral squares.

Use ivory yarn and a 3.5 mm hook.

Round 1: Ivory Foundation

Attach ivory yarn at one corner.

Work sc evenly around the entire bedspread.

At each corner, work 3 sc.

Round 2: Create the Lace Loops

Ch 1.

*Sc in the next stitch, ch 5, skip 3 stitches.*

Repeat around.

Adjust spacing at the corners to keep the edging flat.

Round 3: Crochet the Scallops

Sl st into the first ch-5 space.

Work:

• 1 sc
• 2 hdc
• 5 dc
• 2 hdc
• 1 sc

Repeat in each chain space.

Round 4: Add the Blue Accent

Switch back to dusty blue yarn.

Work a delicate round of slip stitches or single crochet along the outer edge of the scallops.

FO and weave in the ends.

Block the edging gently to define the scalloped shape.

Part 7: Crochet the Matching Floral Pillow Covers

Complete the bedroom set with two matching crochet pillow covers featuring the same elegant floral lace design.

Step 1: Crochet the Front Panels

For each pillow cover, make one large floral square using the same pattern as the bedspread motifs.

Add extra border rounds until the square measures approximately 45 × 45 cm.

Step 2: Crochet the Back Panels

Using dusty blue yarn, crochet a solid square using rows of hdc.

Continue until the panel measures approximately 45 × 45 cm.

Alternatively, create an envelope-style closure using two overlapping rectangular panels.

Step 3: Join the Pillow Panels

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

Join three sides using sc.

Insert the pillow form.

Close the final side or add a removable closure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this crochet bedspread suitable for beginners?

This project is recommended for intermediate crocheters who are comfortable with lace stitches, floral motifs, joining squares, and decorative borders.

How long does it take to crochet?

A full queen-size bedspread may take approximately 45–65 hours or longer, depending on your experience, yarn choice, and finished dimensions.

How much yarn do I need?

For a large bedspread and two matching pillow covers, plan for approximately 2,500–3,000 g of dusty blue yarn and 350–500 g of ivory yarn. Actual quantities depend on your gauge and stitch density.

Can I use acrylic yarn?

Yes. Soft acrylic or acrylic-blend yarn can work well, although cotton yarn often provides sharper stitch definition for lace motifs.

Can I make this bedspread without the ivory border?

Absolutely. You can finish the entire bedspread in dusty blue for a monochromatic design.

Can I make a matching blanket instead?

Yes. Reduce the number of floral squares to create a smaller throw blanket for a sofa or armchair.

Should I block the floral squares?

Yes. Blocking helps the motifs become uniform in size and makes joining easier.

Can I make the pillow covers removable?

Yes. An envelope-style back or button closure allows the pillow inserts to be removed for washing.

Can I change the size of the flower motifs?

Yes. Using thinner yarn and a smaller hook creates smaller motifs, while thicker yarn and a larger hook produce larger squares.

Care Instructions

• Follow the washing instructions on your yarn label.
• Hand washing is recommended for delicate lace designs.
• Use cool water and a gentle detergent.
• Avoid bleach and harsh cleaning products.
• Do not twist or wring the wet bedspread.
• Lay flat to dry whenever possible.
• Reshape the floral motifs while damp.
• Avoid hanging the wet bedspread because its weight may stretch the stitches.
• Store folded in a clean, dry location.
• Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight to preserve the dusty blue color.
