Why you'll love it
- The spiraling petal center gives every square movement and depth.
- Large 15 in squares mean fewer squares and fewer seams.
- Using one color keeps the focus on the lace texture.
- Corner fans create a beautiful starburst where four squares meet.
- The same square makes matching pillow covers.

Assembly
- 1
Make 42 squares and block each one to 15 in (38 cm), pinning the corner fans open.
- 2
Lay out the squares 6 across and 7 down, all facing the same way.
- 3
Join with slip stitches through the back loops, first the horizontal seams and then the vertical seams.
- 4
Work Border Rounds 1-4 around the whole bedspread.
- 5
Weave in all ends, then wet block or steam the border so the scallops lie flat.
Important notes
- Tip: This is an original pattern inspired by the photo. Hidden details are interpreted from the image, and the pattern has not been physically test-crocheted.
- Tip: Abbreviations (US terms): ch = chain, sc = single crochet, hdc = half double crochet, dc = double crochet, tr = treble crochet, sl st = slip stitch, MR = magic ring, BLO = back loop only, sp = space, WS = wrong side.
- Tip: The squares are worked in joined rounds. A ch 3 at the start of a round counts as a dc, and a ch 4 counts as a tr.
- Tip: If a stitch count is off by 1, add or skip a stitch near the corner on the next round to keep the corners square.
- Tip: This bedspread is heavy. Support the weight on a table while working the border.
Pattern FAQ
Can I make it in a different size?
Yes. Each square is 15 in (38 cm), so add or remove whole rows or columns. The variations list throw and twin sizes.
Why isn't my center swirling?
The swirl only appears if you skip the first dc of each group in Rounds 4-6. If you work into it, the petals stack straight instead of shifting.
Cotton or acrylic?
Cotton gives crisp lace and a heavier drape, ideal for a bedspread. Acrylic is lighter, softer, and easier to wash.
How do I wash it?
Follow the yarn label. Wash on a gentle cycle in a large washer, then dry flat or over a drying rack, reshaping the border while damp.
