Chunky Puff Stitch Crochet Bedspread Pattern

Chunky Puff Stitch Crochet Bedspread Pattern

Picture pulling back a bedspread in soft rose pink that looks like it came from a boutique hotel, except you made every stitch yourself. Rows of plump puff columns run down the length of the bed, with airy ladder stripes giving your eyes a place to rest between them. A scalloped foot edge and swinging fringe along the sides finish it off, and two matching pillow shams pull the whole bed together. You’ll love how the rhythm of puffs and stripes turns into a calm, meditative make.

Materials Needed for Chunky Puff Stitch Crochet Bedspread Pattern

Assembly Instructions

• Weave in every end on the bedspread with a tapestry needle, running each tail back through the dc of a plain row for about 5 cm (2 in) and then back again so it can’t work loose.
• Wet or steam block the bedspread flat on mats or towels, pinning it to about 200 x 225 cm (79 x 89 in). Straighten each puff column so it runs parallel to the sides, and pin the point of every scallop on the foot edge separately.
• Once the bedspread is fully dry, cut and attach the fringe. Place one 3-strand bundle in the end of every row down both long sides, working from the foot edge toward the head so the spacing stays even.
• Comb the fringe with your fingers, then trim all the bundles to the same length, about 28 cm (11 in), with the bedspread laid flat so nothing pulls.
• Weave in the ends on the sham fronts and backs, then block each front to about 45 x 50 cm (18 x 20 in) so the columns lie straight before joining.
• Join each sham with wrong sides together by working sc through both layers up one side, across the bottom, and up the other side. Insert the pillow, then close the top edge with the Closing Row.
• Drape the bedspread with the head edge tucked under the pillows and the scalloped foot edge hanging evenly over the end of the mattress, keeping the puff columns running straight down the length of the bed.

Important Notes

• 💡Work a swatch of about 12 sts and 8 rows including one puff row before you start. The puffs should sit plump but not tight, and 8 sts should measure about 10 cm (4 in).
• 💡Clip a stitch marker into the first dc of each column on your first Repeat Row 1, so you can see at a glance whether the columns are staying lined up as the rows pile up.
• 💡Count your sts at the end of every Repeat Row 1 and Repeat Row 5. Those open mesh rows are where a missed ch 1 space is most likely to sneak in.
• 💡Buy all the yarn for the bedspread, fringe, and shams from the same dye lot, because a slight color shift shows easily across such a large piece.
• 💡The bedspread gets heavy as it grows, so keep it in your lap or on a table beside you and let the finished part rest on the surface instead of pulling on your work.
• 💡Block before attaching the fringe, since blocking can change the length of the sides slightly and you’ll want the bundles spaced against the final size.
• 💡Pull every puff loop up to the same height on the hook shaft so the columns look matched all the way down the bed.

Your bed is about to get the coziest upgrade ever 🧶 Take your time with the puff columns, enjoy the ladder stripes in between, and don’t stress if your first few puffs look a little uneven, because they settle in beautifully after a row or two. When you spread the finished piece out and run your fingers through that fringe, you’ll feel every hour was worth it ✨ Add the matching shams and you’ll have a bedroom set that looks straight out of a boutique, made entirely by you 🧵
