Important notes
- Tip: This is an original pattern inspired by the photo. Hidden details are simplified from the image, and the pattern has not been physically test-crocheted.
- Tip: Abbreviations (US terms): ch = chain, sc = single crochet, dc = double crochet, sl st = slip stitch, MR = magic ring.
- Tip: The ch-3 at the start of a dc round counts as a dc, and the ch-5 at the start of Round 2 counts as a dc and a ch-2 space. The ch 1 at the start of sc rounds does not count as a stitch.
- Tip: Work all rounds with the right side facing; do not turn.
- Tip: Square stitch counts do not include the corner ch-2 spaces.
Pattern FAQ
Why stop at Round 8 for the bedspread?
The straight sc edge of Round 8 makes neat, even seams. The scalloped shells are saved for the outer border, single squares, and pillows.
How do I change the size?
Each square adds about 8 in. Border Round 1 always has 28 stitches per square plus 1 on each edge. Subtract 1, divide by 2, and choose the skip at each end (1, 2, or 3 stitches) so the remainder divides evenly by 6 for the shell repeat.
My square is cupping. What should I do?
Cupping usually comes from tight chains in Rounds 2 and 6 or a missed corner increase. Check the per-side counts after each round and relax your tension on the chains.
How should I wash it?
Follow the care label on your yarn. Wash it in a large-capacity machine on a gentle cycle in cool water, then lay it flat to dry and reshape the shells while damp.
