Joining the Squares

Layout: Block all squares to 10 x 10 in and sew a daisy to the center of each one. Lay them out right side up in 11 rows of 9 squares. (99 squares)
Horizontal seams (make 10): Place Row 1 on Row 2 with wrong sides together, so the bottom edges of Row 1 meet the top edges of Row 2. Join red with sl st through both corner ch-2 spaces of the first pair. Sl st through the back loops of both squares in each of the next 43 stitches, then sl st through the next pair of corner spaces. *Ch 1, sl st through the corner spaces of the next pair, sl st through the back loops in each of the next 43 stitches, sl st through the next pair of corner spaces; repeat from * across all 9 pairs. Fasten off. Repeat for each pair of neighboring rows. (405 sl st + 8 ch-1 per seam (45 per square))
Vertical seams (make 8): The horizontal seams create 9 columns of 11 squares. Place two neighboring columns wrong sides together and seam exactly as above, working 45 sl st per pair of squares and ch 1 over each horizontal seam where four squares meet. Repeat until all 9 columns are joined. (495 sl st + 10 ch-1 per seam (45 per square))

Scalloped Border

Sc in each of the 43 stitches of each square. At each seam, sc in the corner space of the square just finished and sc in the corner space of the next square. At each outer corner, work (sc, ch 2, sc) in the corner space. After the last 43 stitches of the final edge, join with sl st to the first sc. (1,800 sc; 405 per short edge, 495 per long edge)
Border Round 2: Sl st into the next corner ch-2 space. Ch 3 (counts as dc), 8 dc in the same space. *Skip the next stitch, sc in the next stitch, [skip the next 2 stitches, 7 dc in the next stitch, skip the next 2 stitches, sc in the next stitch] 67 times along a short edge or 82 times along a long edge, skip the last stitch of the edge, 9 dc in the next corner space; repeat from * around, leaving out the final 9 dc on the last repeat.

Assembly

1
Make 99 squares (Rounds 1-16), checking that every side has 43 sc.
2
Make 99 daisies.
3
Weave in the ends and block each square to 10 x 10 in. Lightly steam the daisies flat.
4
Center a daisy on each square with 4 petals pointing toward the middle of the sides. Use the white tail to sew around the base of every petal, then add a stitch at each petal tip so the petals stay flat.
5
Lay out the squares in 11 rows of 9 and work the 10 horizontal seams, then the 8 vertical seams.
6
Work Border Rounds 1 and 2 around the entire bedspread.
7
Give the border a light final steam so the shells lie flat. Do not press the puffs.

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, MR = magic ring, BLO = back loop only.
Tip: The ch-3 at the start of a dc round counts as a dc. The ch 1 at the start of sc rounds and the ch 2 before a first puff do not count as stitches.
Tip: Work all rounds with the right side facing; do not turn.
Tip: Square stitch counts do not include the corner ch-2 spaces.
Tip: Keep an odd number of squares along every edge so the border shell repeat works out evenly.
Tip: Yarn amounts are estimates based on the stated gauge. A bedspread this size uses a large amount of yarn, so buy enough from one dye lot.

Pattern FAQ

Why make the daisies separately?

Separate daisies are quick to make in batches, easy to carry, and simple to position exactly. They also let the leaves start right in the middle of the square so they look as if they grow out from behind the flower.

How do I change the size?

Each square adds about 10 in. Use an odd number of squares on each edge, such as 7 x 11 for a twin or 11 x 11 for a king, so the border shells fit evenly.

My moss stitch frame is ruffling. What went wrong?

Ruffling usually means an extra ch-1 space or an extra sc on a side. Check the bracketed repeat count for each round and make sure you skip the corner sc at the start of each side.

Can I make it in other colors for everyday use?

Yes. Sage, navy, mustard, or dusty rose all work well with white or cream daisies. Keep the flower color light so it stands out against the square.

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. Dry flat or tumble dry on low, and reshape the petals while damp.
