Crochet Lace Square Bedspread and Pillow Shams Pattern

Crochet Lace Square Bedspread and Pillow Shams Pattern

Imagine a bed dressed in soft ivory lace, every square worked in cotton with open mesh bands around a snug solid center. This crochet bedspread pattern builds one motif at a time, so you can stitch it on the sofa, on a train, or wherever your day takes you. You’ll join the squares into a generous cover, finish the edges with a row of pointed edging, and then make the matching pillow shams and a ribbed lumbar cushion with pom-pom ends. A whole bedroom set made by your own hands.

Materials Needed for Crochet Lace Square Bedspread and Pillow Shams Pattern

Assembly Instructions

• Weave in every end on the motifs, then wet block each of the 60 squares by pinning it to a 25 cm (10 in) square on your mat, and let it dry completely before you start joining.
• Join the 48 bedspread motifs into 6 strips of 8, then join the strips side by side, working one sc through all four corner sps at each junction, and check that every motif faces the same direction before sewing the last strip.
• After the edging is done, wet block the whole bedspread in sections on a large flat surface, and push a pin through the tr tip of each of the 190 points so the points dry crisp and straight.
• For each sham, place the back panel against the wrong side of the front and pin the corners and middle of each side just inside the round 1 sc line. Whip stitch both long sides and one short side, leaving one short side open for the pillow insert.
• Sew the two cushion panels with wrong sides together using a whip stitch, going along both long sides and one short end, then slide in the insert and sew the second short end closed.
• Sew the pom-poms to both short ends of the cushion, placing one at rows 3, 9, 15, 21, 27 and 33 along each end, and knot the tails twice on the inside of the seam before trimming.
• Give the finished shams and cushion a final light steam, holding the iron above the lace so the points and ribs keep their shape.

Important Notes

• 💡Make one motif first and block it before you commit to the whole set. It should measure about 25 cm (10 in), and if it’s bigger or smaller, change your hook size by half a millimeter or so, because the edging counts depend on 25 dc per side.
• 💡Buy all your cotton at once and check the dye lot, since creamy ivory shades can vary slightly between batches and the difference shows once the squares are joined.
• 💡Use a stitch marker in the first corner sp of every round so you always know where you started, especially in the mesh rounds where the corners are less obvious.
• 💡Cotton is heavy, so assemble the bedspread in strips and rest it on a table or your lap while joining. A full-size cover dragging off your knees will stretch the seams.
• 💡Keep a tally of finished motifs on paper. With 60 squares, it’s easy to lose count, and you’ll want exactly 48 for the bedspread and 12 for the shams.
• 💡Block the edging firmly. The pointed tips only hold their shape when they are pinned out and left to dry fully flat.
• 💡Wash the finished set gently by hand or on a wool cycle in cool water, and dry it flat to keep the lace from stretching.

Your bedroom is about to feel a whole lot calmer! 🧶 Once the last point of the edging is blocked and the shams are plumped against the headboard, you’ll have a set that looks like it came from a boutique, only it carries every hour of care you put in. Take your time, enjoy the rhythm of each square, and save the finished set for the best morning light. ✨ Happy stitching, and may your tension stay even and your tea stay hot! 🧵
