Every flower is small, so you can make this big cover a few flowers at a time.

Joined Flowers

Pink and white flowers sit in a checkerboard, linked by tiny filler flowers.

About This Pink and White Flower Bedspread Crochet Pattern Pattern

This bedspread is made from 99 large flowers and 80 small filler flowers. Each large flower has eight petals with an open teardrop hole in the middle of every petal, a white ring center and a pale edge. Fifty flowers are pink and 49 are white, laid out like a checkerboard.

The finished size is about 72 by 88 inches, with each large flower measuring about 8 inches from tip to tip. You will use double crochet, single crochet and chain loops, and you join the flowers as you work the last round. It suits crocheters who have finished a few blankets and want a showpiece for the bedroom.

Why You'll Love This Pink and White Flower Bedspread Crochet Pattern Pattern

I love that each flower is small enough to tuck in a bag. You can make one in a waiting room, and a whole row by the end of the week.

Pink and white feels soft and fresh in a bedroom, and the cover looks like a garden spread across the bed. It makes a lovely gift for a new baby girl or a wedding.

— Large Flower (Make 99, 50 pink and 49 white) :

For a pink flower, work Round 1 in white, Rounds 2 to 4 in pink and Round 5 in white. For a white flower, work every round in white. Sizes and yarn amounts are estimated from the photo, so make one flower first and check that it measures about 8 inches tip to tip after Round 5.
Round 1: Make a magic ring, ch 3 (counts as first dc), 15 dc in the ring. Sl st to the top of the ch-3 to join. (16 dc)
Round 2: Ch 3 (counts as first dc), dc in the same st, 2 dc in each remaining st around. Sl st to the top of the ch-3 to join. (32 dc)
Round 3: Ch 1, sc in the same st, ch 7, skip 3 sts, *sc in next st, ch 7, skip 3 sts; repeat from * 6 more times. Sl st to first sc to join. The space under each ch-7 loop stays open and becomes the petal hole. (8 sc, 8 ch-7 sps)
Round 4: Sl st into the first ch-7 sp, ch 1, *9 sc in the ch-7 sp, sc in next sc; repeat from * 7 more times. Sl st to first sc to join. (80 sc: 8 petals of 9 sc, plus 8 sc between the petals)
Round 5: Ch 1, then work the following 8 times, starting in the same st as the join: sc in each of the next 4 sts, 3 sc in the next st (the petal tip), sc in each of the next 4 sts, sc in the next st (the sc between petals). Sl st to first sc to join and fasten off. (96 sc: 8 petals of 12 sc)
Number the petals 1 to 8 clockwise, with petal 1 pointing up. Petals 1, 3, 5 and 7 are the tips that join to neighboring large flowers. Petals 2, 4, 6 and 8 are the tips that join to small filler flowers. At a joining tip, work the 3 sc of the tip as sc, sl st in the center dc of the neighboring tip, sc, all in the same tip st. The sl st counts as one stitch.

— Small Filler Flower (Make 80, white) :

Round 1: Make a magic ring, ch 1, 8 sc in the ring. Sl st to first sc to join. (8 sc)
Round 2: Ch 1, then work the following 4 times, beginning in the same st as the join: (sc, hdc, 3 dc, hdc, sc) in one sc, sl st in the next sc. Fasten off, leaving a tail. (4 petals of 7 sts, 28 sts, plus 4 sl st)
The center dc of each 3-dc group is the tip of the petal. Each filler flower joins to the diagonal tips of four large flowers.

— Layout and Joining :

Arrange the large flowers in 9 columns and 11 rows, which gives about 72 by 88 inches. Alternate pink and white like a checkerboard, with a pink flower in the top left corner (50 pink and 49 white). Place one filler flower at each point where four large flowers meet. (8 x 10 = 80 filler flowers)
Work Round 5 of each large flower row by row, joining the north tip to the flower above, the west tip to the flower on its left, and the diagonal tips to the filler flowers. In total there are 178 flower-to-flower joins (88 side to side and 90 top to bottom) and 320 flower-to-filler joins (80 filler flowers x 4).
Hold the pieces with wrong sides together and keep the tips level when you make each joining sl st.

— Outer Edge (white) :

Count the edge stitches this way. On a straight side, each edge flower gives 47 stitches plus 1 joining sl st, which is 48. Each of the 4 corner flowers gives 71 stitches plus 1 joining sl st, which is 72. With 32 side flowers and 4 corner flowers, that is 32 x 48 + 4 x 72 = 1,824 stitches. The shell repeat is 6 stitches, and 1,824 divided by 6 is 304.
Round 1: Join white with a sl st in any joining sl st on the outer edge. Ch 1, sc in each stitch around the whole cover, including the joining sl sts and every sc of the outer petals. Sl st to first sc to join. (1,824 sc)
Round 2: Ch 1, then work the following 304 times: sl st in the next sc, skip 2 sc, 5 dc in the next sc, skip 2 sc. Sl st to first st to join and fasten off. (304 shells, 1,520 dc, 304 sl st)

Assembly Instructions

  1. Make the 99 Large Flowers through Round 4, 50 in pink and 49 in white, and make the 80 Small Filler Flowers.
  2. Lay everything out in 9 columns and 11 rows with a pink and white checkerboard and a filler flower where four large flowers meet, as in the Layout and Joining section.
  3. Work Round 5 of the first row of large flowers, joining each flower to its left neighbor and to the filler flowers.
  4. Work Round 5 of every following row, joining each flower to the flower above, the flower on its left and the filler flowers on its diagonal tips.
  5. Check that every filler flower is joined to four large flowers and that no joined tip was skipped.
  6. Wet block the whole cover flat, pinning the petals open and round, and let it dry completely.
  7. Work the Outer Edge around the whole cover, then weave in all remaining ends.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

Making the ch-7 loops in Round 3 uneven. Keep every loop the same length so the petal holes match.

Joining the wrong tips. Only petals 1, 3, 5 and 7 join to other large flowers, while petals 2, 4, 6 and 8 join to filler flowers.

Losing count in Round 5. Check for 12 sc on each petal so the outer edge total of 1,824 stitches works out.

Joining with right sides together. Keep the wrong sides together so the joins stay neat on the front.

Important Notes

Gauge: after Round 5 each large flower should measure about 8 inches tip to tip. Make one flower first and change your hook size if needed.

Yarn amounts and sizes are estimated from the photo, so buy a little extra pink and white and keep the same dye lot together.

Block the finished cover flat so the petal holes stay open and the flowers lie evenly.

Wash gently in cool water with a color catcher, because the pink yarn can bleed onto the white. Dry flat.

I hope you enjoy watching this flower garden grow, one little flower at a time. Send me a message when your first row is joined, I would love to hear how it turned out.

You Ask, We Answer

How big is the finished bedspread?

With 9 by 11 large flowers of about 8 inches each, it measures about 72 by 88 inches. Add a column or a row of flowers for a larger bed.

Can I use a different yarn weight?

Yes. Worsted cotton with a 4 mm hook makes flowers of about 10 inches, so you would need fewer flowers. Keep the stitch counts the same and check the flower size first.

How do I wash and care for it?

Wash on a gentle cycle in cool water with a color catcher, then lay it flat to dry. Reshape the petals by hand while it is damp.
