Crochet Hexagon Flower Bedspread and Pillow Sham Pattern

Crochet Hexagon Flower Bedspread and Pillow Sham Pattern

There’s a moment when a bedroom suddenly looks finished, and this cream coverlet can be that moment for yours. You’ll make it motif by motif, so it travels easily in a project bag, from the sofa to the car to the garden chair. The solid ivory shade keeps things calm, and all the interest comes from texture. A matching pair of pillow shams pulls the whole bed together. Start with one hexagon on a quiet evening and see how quickly the pile grows.

Materials Needed for Crochet Hexagon Flower Bedspread and Pillow Sham Pattern

Assembly Instructions

• Weave in every end on all hexagons, flowers, and sham fronts. Wet block each hexagon pinned flat to about 22 cm (8.7 in) flat to flat, with the six corners sharp, and pin each flower with its petals spread open. Let everything dry fully.
• Sew one flower onto each hexagon. Center the flower over the mr hole with each petal tip pointing at a corner. Whipstitch around the outer edge of flower Round 3 using the tail, then tack the middle of each petal with one stitch through the ridged Round 4 of the hexagon.
• Lay out 11 rows on the floor. Rows 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 have 9 hexagons each, and Rows 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 have 8 hexagons each, nestled into the notches of the rows above and below (94 hexagons in total). For a smaller throw, make 7 rows alternating 6 and 5 hexagons for 39 hexagons, about 132 x 140 cm (52 x 55 in).
• Join the hexagons into horizontal rows first, using the whipstitch through the back loops of the 16 dc on each side and one stitch through each pair of corner ch-2 sps. Then stitch the rows together along the angled sides, working from the top row down and matching each corner before you sew toward the next.
• Work Round 1 and Round 2 of the border around the entire outer edge, starting at any outward point, then fasten off and weave in the ends. Pin the finished spread flat and steam block lightly so the shells and notches lie smooth.
• For each sham, pin the finished front over a cushion cover with the sc edge round against the cover’s seam allowance. Whipstitch with cream thread through every sc along three sides, slide the cushion form in, and close the last side the same way.
• Give the whole bedspread a final check: look for any gaps at the corners where three hexagons meet and close them with a few stitches, then trim all ends close.

Important Notes

• 💡Make a full hexagon and flower first and measure it. If your hexagon is over 22 cm (8.7 in) flat to flat, drop a hook size, and if it’s smaller, go up a half size, because every row of the layout depends on that measurement.
• 💡Buy all the yarn for the bedspread at once and check that the dye lot matches. A slight shade change between hexagons shows up in a big cream piece.
• 💡Place a marker in the first ch-2 sp of each hexagon round so you can find the start. After every round, count six corner sps and make sure the stitch total is a multiple of 12.
• 💡Work the ridged rounds (Rounds 4 and 6 of the hexagon) in the back loop only, but always work the corners under both loops so the shape stays crisp.
• 💡Make the motifs in batches, such as five hexagons followed by five flowers, then sew a few together. The pile builds fast and the project stays interesting.
• 💡Cotton blends can stretch when wet. Block one hexagon first to see how much it grows, and pin the rest to the same size so every motif matches.

Your next big cozy project is ready for your hook! 🧶 Take it one hexagon at a time, stack them in a basket beside your favorite chair, and watch the pile grow into something you’ll be proud to spread across your bed. ✨ Don’t worry about perfection, because every handmade stitch adds warmth and character that no store-bought blanket can match. When the last shell is stitched and the shams are plumped, take a moment to admire what your hands made. Happy crocheting, friend! 🧵
