Crochet Lace Square Motif Bedspread Pattern

Crochet Lace Square Motif Bedspread Pattern

Picture a cream-colored bedspread that makes the whole bedroom feel calmer the second you smooth it over the mattress. This crochet bedspread pattern is built from square motifs that join into a lattice of raised cluster lines, with little flowers sitting at every junction and a lacy scalloped edge along the bottom. You make it one motif at a time, so you can stitch on the sofa, on the train, or anywhere you've got a spare half hour, and watch the pattern grow as the squares meet.

Materials Needed for Crochet Lace Square Motif Bedspread Pattern

Assembly Instructions

• Weave in every end on all 110 motifs, then wet or steam block each one to a 23 cm (9 in) square and let them dry completely before joining.
• Lay the motifs out on a big floor space in 11 rows of 10. Arrange them so every seam and four-way junction lines up, and check that the cluster frames all face the same way.
• Join each row of 10 motifs into a strip. Hold two motifs with right sides together and whip stitch through the back loops only, matching the 23 sc along each side stitch for stitch and meeting corner ch-2 sps exactly.
• Join the 11 strips the same way, long edge to long edge. At each four-way junction, stitch the four corner ch-2 sps together tightly so there's no gap.
• Work Round 1 and Round 2 of the scalloped border all the way around the joined spread, starting at the top left corner and putting 1 sc in every seam.
• Pin one joint flower over each of the 90 inner junctions, with the flower center sitting where the four ch-2 sps meet. Sew each one down with the tail, taking a small stitch through the base of every petal.
• Wet block the finished spread flat, pinning it to about 230 x 253 cm (91 x 100 in) and easing each scallop into shape. Leave it for 48 hours until bone dry.

Important Notes

• 💡Plan on roughly 40 minutes per motif, so with 110 squares this is a long project. Making a few motifs each week is the easiest way to stay with it.
• 💡Make and block your first motif before anything else. It should measure about 23 cm (9 in) square, and if it's smaller, go up half a hook size for the rest.
• 💡Check the counts at the end of Rounds 3, 4, 5 and 6 on your first few motifs, because every later round depends on them: 36 dc, 52 dc, 36 clusters, then 84 dc.
• 💡Buy all your cotton from one dye lot and keep a ball or two spare, since even slight shade differences show in a large expanse of cream.
• 💡For matching pillow shams, join 2 x 2 motifs into a 46 cm (18 in) square, work the same border with 12 scallop repeats on every side, and sew it to a fabric backing.
• 💡For a throw, make 5 x 6 motifs (about 115 x 138 cm), use 30 repeats along the top and bottom borders and 36 along the sides, and sew on 20 joint flowers.
• 💡Hand wash gently in cool water and dry flat. Cotton gets heavy when wet, so support the whole spread when you lift it.
