About This Chocolate Brown Filet Flower Bed Cover Crochet Pattern Pattern

This bed cover is made from 64 filet mesh blocks, each about 12 inches wide, worked in one deep chocolate brown. Every block has a solid frame and an open mesh center. A crochet flower sits in the middle of each block, and more flowers are sewn where four blocks meet.

It finishes at about 100 by 100 inches, a generous king size that falls over the sides of the bed. The edge is a deep scallop of shell stitches. It suits anyone who likes lacy filet work and wants a rich, cozy piece for the bedroom.

Why You'll Love This Chocolate Brown Filet Flower Bed Cover Crochet Pattern Pattern

I love this project because the blocks are small and the stitch count never changes. After the first few rows I can crochet while chatting, and the mesh grows quickly.

Brown is such a warm, calm color, and the flowers give it a soft, romantic touch. It also makes a lovely gift for a wedding or a new home.

Switch Things Up

Try dusty rose, sage green or deep navy for a different mood. Make 5 columns by 6 rows (30 blocks) for a throw of about 61 by 72 inches. Skip the seam flowers for a simpler look. Use 4 blocks and a ruffle edge for a matching pillow sham.

— Filet Block (Make 64) :

Each block is 43 sts wide (21 spaces) and 21 rows tall, and every row has 43 sts. An open space is ch 1, skip 1, dc. A solid space is 2 dc. The first st of each row is the turning ch, and the last st is worked in the top of the turning ch of the previous row.

Row 1: Ch 46. Dc in 4th ch from hook and in each ch across. (43 dc)

Row 2: Ch 3 (counts as first dc), turn. Dc in each of the next 42 sts. (43 dc)

Row 3: Ch 3, turn. Dc in next 4 sts. *Ch 1, skip next st, dc in next st*, repeat from * 16 more times. Dc in each of the last 4 sts. (26 dc, 17 ch-1 sps)

Row 4: Ch 3, turn. Dc in next 4 dc. *Ch 1, skip next ch-1 sp, dc in next dc*, repeat from * 16 more times. Dc in each of the last 4 dc. (26 dc, 17 ch-1 sps)

Rows 5 to 19 (15 rows): Repeat Row 4 in every row. (26 dc, 17 ch-1 sps in each row)

Row 20: Ch 3, turn. Dc in each dc and in each ch-1 sp across. (43 dc)

Row 21: Ch 3, turn. Dc in each of the next 42 sts. Fasten off. (43 dc)

Weave in ends and block each block to about 12 inches. The open mesh in the middle is 17 spaces wide and 17 rows tall. If your block is smaller, go up a hook size.

— Flower (Make 113: 64 for the block centers and 49 for the seam corners) :

Round 1: Make a magic ring. Ch 1, 10 sc in ring. Join with sl st to first sc. (10 sc)

Round 2: Ch 1, sc in same st, ch 3, skip next sc. *Sc in next sc, ch 3, skip next sc*, repeat from * 3 more times. Join with sl st to first sc. (5 sc, 5 ch-3 sps)

Round 3: *(Sl st, ch 2, 5 dc, ch 2, sl st) in next ch-3 sp, sl st in next sc*, repeat from * 4 more times. Fasten off, leaving a 12 inch tail for sewing. (5 petals, 25 dc)

Pull the magic ring snug, but leave a tiny dark center hole like the flowers in the photo.

— Layout and Joining :

Lay out 8 rows of 8 blocks. All 64 blocks are the same, so the frames and the flower centers line up in a clean grid.

Rows 1 to 8: 8 blocks in every row (8 blocks)

Hold two blocks with right sides together and sl st through the back loops only. Use 42 sl st along the sides (2 in each row end) and 43 sl st along the top and bottom edges. Join the blocks into 8 strips of 8, then join the 8 strips.

Sew one flower to the center of every block, over the middle open spaces. Then sew one flower over each of the 49 seam corners where four blocks meet.

— Border :

Round 1: With right side facing, join brown in the top left outer corner. Ch 1, 3 sc in the corner. Along the top edge, work 1 sc in each st of every block (43 sc per block) and 1 sc in each seam (351 sc). Work 3 sc in the corner. Along the right side, work 2 sc in each row end (42 sc per block) and 1 sc in each seam (343 sc). Work 3 sc in the corner. Repeat for the bottom edge (351 sc) and the left side (343 sc), working 3 sc in the last corner. Join with sl st to first sc. (1,400 sc: 351 along each of the top and bottom, 343 along each side, plus 12 corner sc)

Round 2: Ch 1, sc in each sc around, working 3 sc in the center sc of each corner. Join with sl st to first sc. (1,408 sc)

Round 3: Ch 1, sc in each sc around, working 3 sc in the center sc of each corner. Join with sl st to first sc. (1,416 sc)

Round 4: Sl st in any sc. *Skip next 2 sc, 5 dc in next sc, skip next 2 sc, sl st in next sc*, repeat from * around for 236 repeats, ending the last repeat with a sl st in the first sc. Fasten off. (236 shells, 1,180 dc)

Border check: 8 x 43 = 344 plus 7 seams = 351 along the top and bottom. 8 x 42 = 336 plus 7 seams = 343 along each side. 2 x 351 + 2 x 343 = 1,388, plus 12 corner sc = 1,400. Each corner adds 2 sc in rounds 2 and 3, giving 1,416, which divides by 6 into 236 shells. If a shell does not land on a corner, shift your starting point by one or two sc.

Assembly Instructions

Make 64 filet blocks and 113 flowers.
Weave in all ends and block every block to about 12 inches so the mesh and the corners are even.
Lay the blocks out on the floor in 8 rows of 8 and take a photo so you do not lose the order.
Join each row into a strip with a slip stitch seam through the back loops only.
Join the 8 strips together the same way, matching the corners carefully.
Sew a flower to the center of every block, then sew a flower over each of the 49 seam corners.
Work Border Rounds 1 to 3 in single crochet, then finish with the shell round to make the scalloped edge.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

Losing a stitch in the mesh rows. Count 43 sts at the end of the first few rows, and check that the last dc goes in the top of the turning ch.

Skipping the ch-1 sp instead of working into it in Rows 20 and 21, which leaves holes in the frame. Dc in every ch-1 sp in Row 20.

Pulling the seams too tight, which puckers the cover. Keep the joining stitches loose and the same tension as the blocks.

Losing count in the border. Place a marker at each corner and check the stitch total after Round 1.

Important Notes

Each block should measure about 12 inches after blocking with a 5.0 mm hook. Make one test block before you buy all the yarn.

Yarn amounts are estimates. Buy a little extra brown for the flowers and the border.

Wash cold on a gentle cycle, because dark cotton can bleed the first time. Dry flat or tumble dry on low.

I hope this rich brown cover makes your bedroom feel warm and calm. Take it one block at a time and enjoy every little flower.

You Ask, We Answer

What size is the finished bed cover?

It measures about 100 by 100 inches with the border, which covers a king size bed with a generous drop.

Can I use a different yarn weight or make it smaller?

Yes. Lighter yarn with a smaller hook makes smaller blocks, so you will need more of them. For a throw, make 5 columns by 6 rows (30 blocks).

How do I wash it?

Wash cold on a gentle cycle, then dry flat or tumble dry on low. Wash it on its own the first time.
