Lace Flower Bedspread Crochet Pattern

Why you'll love it

Layered petals give each flower real depth and a hand-finished look.
Panel construction is easier to manage than joining dozens of loose squares at once.
The ridged and eyelet strips add texture and frame each column of flowers.
A single color means fewer ends to weave in and a calm, timeless result.
The square also makes matching pillow covers and smaller throws.

Assembly

1
Make 77 flower squares, checking for 35 stitches per side after Round 12.
2
Weave in all ends and block each square to 9.5 x 9.5 in, opening up the petals.
3
Join the squares into 7 columns of 11 squares each.
4
Work side strip Rows 1-7 along both long edges of every column to make 7 panels.
5
Lightly block the panels so the strips lie flat and straight.
6
Lay out the panels with the squares aligned in rows, and join them with 6 slip stitch seams.
7
Work Border Rounds 1 and 2 around the entire bedspread.
8
Give the border a final light steam so the shells lie flat.

Important notes

Tip: This is an original pattern inspired by the photo. Hidden construction details, yarn weight, and dimensions are interpreted from the image, and the pattern has not been physically test-crocheted.
Tip: Abbreviations (US terms): ch = chain, sc = single crochet, hdc = half double crochet, dc = double crochet, sl st = slip stitch, BLO = back loop only.
Tip: The ch-3 at the start of a dc round or row counts as a dc. The ch-4 at the start of Row 3 counts as a dc and a ch-1 space. The ch 1 at the start of sc rounds and rows does not count as a stitch.
Tip: Work the square rounds with the right side facing; do not turn. The side strips are worked in turned rows.
Tip: Square stitch counts do not include the corner spaces.
Tip: Yarn amounts are estimates based on the stated gauge. A bedspread this size uses a lot of yarn, so buy enough from one dye lot.

Pattern FAQ

How do I change the size?

Each panel adds about 14 in of width and each square adds about 9.5 in of length. For a twin, try 5 panels of 11 squares; for a king, try 8 panels of 11 squares. Each long edge has 37 stitches per square minus 2, so recalculate the border counts for the new size.

My flower is cupping. What went wrong?

Check that the Round 4 and Round 6 chain lengths are correct and that your chains are not too tight. Blocking also helps the two petal layers lie flat.

Why are my side strips wavy?

Waviness usually means extra stitches in Row 1. Make sure you work exactly one sc in each corner space and 35 sc along each square, for 407 stitches in total.

Can I use cotton yarn?

Yes. Cotton shows the lace detail beautifully but makes a heavier bedspread. A cotton-acrylic blend is a good compromise between drape, weight, and easy care.

How should I wash it?

Follow the care label on your yarn. Most acrylic and blend yarns can be machine washed on a gentle cycle in cool water. Lay flat or tumble dry on low, and reshape the petals while damp.
