Crochet Flower Square Bedspread and Pillow Sham Pattern

Crochet Flower Square Bedspread and Pillow Sham Pattern

Picture a bedroom that feels like a warm hug the moment you walk in. This bedspread is built from lacy flower squares in a soft caramel tone, each one small enough to carry in your bag and finish in a single sitting. Stitch them one at a time, sew them into one big cozy piece, and finish the edge with a scalloped lace border that gives the bed a handmade, heirloom look. Two matching pillow panels tie the whole set together, so your bed ends up feeling like a little retreat.

Materials Needed for Crochet Flower Square Bedspread and Pillow Sham Pattern

Assembly Instructions

• Before any sewing, wet block each of the 71 squares by pinning it flat to about 18 cm (7 in) square, checking that the Round 8 corners are sharp, and letting it dry completely.
• Sew 7 squares into a strip with a flat whipstitch worked through the back loops only, matching all 37 sc along each edge, and make 9 strips in total.
• Pin the 9 strips together at every spot where four corners meet first, then pin the rest of each seam, and sew them one strip at a time so the panel stays flat and square.
• Work the six-round scalloped border around the whole panel, then weave in all the ends and wet block the finished bedspread flat, pinning out every scallop point and picot until it is fully dry.
• Join 4 squares in a 2 x 2 block for each pillow panel and work the smaller six-round border around it, then block the panel flat to about 48 cm (19 in).
• Slip each panel over a plain 40 cm (16 in) cushion cover or pillow form, center it so the scallops frill evenly, and tack it in place with a few small stitches at the four inner corners where the squares meet.

Important Notes

• 💡Crochet one square first and measure it after blocking. It should be about 18 cm (7 in), and if it isn’t, change the hook size by 0.5 mm, because every border count assumes that square size.
• 💡Buy all your yarn from the same dye lot. Warm tan shades vary noticeably between batches, and a lot change shows up as stripes once the squares are joined.
• 💡Weave in the ends of each square as soon as you finish it. With 71 squares, leaving them all to the end is a very long evening.
• 💡Keep a tally of finished squares on paper. It’s easy to lose count after the thirtieth one, and the border is worked for exactly 7 x 9 squares.
• 💡Each square takes roughly 35 to 40 minutes, so treat the hours listed above as a rough guide to one big stretch of work rather than the whole bed. The full bedspread is a long, relaxed project that is meant to be enjoyed over weeks.
• 💡Wash the finished bedspread by hand or on a gentle cycle and dry it flat, re-pinning the scallops if they curl.
• 💡If you work with a thinner cotton, use a smaller hook and check the square size again before starting the border.

There’s real magic in watching a pile of little flower squares turn into something big enough to cover a whole bed. 🧶 Take them with you, make a few each evening, and let the stack grow beside your favorite chair. When you finally smooth the last scallop flat and spread it over the mattress, you’ll see every stitch you made and feel so proud of it. ✨ Don’t be surprised if the cat claims the pillow panels first! Happy hooking, and thank you for crocheting along with me. 🧵
