About This Cream and Red Rose Granny Square Bed Cover Crochet Pattern Pattern
This bed cover is made from 36 cream granny squares, each 16 inches wide, outlined in burgundy. A big three-dimensional rose sits in the center of every square, with four green leaves around it. The squares are joined with burgundy, so thin red lines run across the cover like a garden path.
It finishes at about 100 by 100 inches, a generous king size that falls over the sides of the bed. The edge is a cream shell scallop outlined in burgundy, with small roses sewn along it. It suits anyone who loves roses and wants a romantic heirloom piece for the bedroom.
Why You'll Love This Cream and Red Rose Granny Square Bed Cover Crochet Pattern Pattern
I love this project because every part is small. A square, a rose or a leaf fits in my bag, and I can crochet them in the car, on the sofa or at a friend's house.
Watching the flat strip roll into a rose never gets old. The cream squares keep the bed bright, and the red roses make it feel like a wedding gift you can sleep under.
Switch Things Up
Try dusty pink roses on cream for a softer look, or deep navy squares with cream roses. Make 4 columns by 5 rows (20 squares) for a throw of about 64 by 80 inches. Use one square, one rose and four leaves for a matching pillow cover. Skip the small edge roses for a simpler, faster finish.

Assembly Instructions
- Make 36 granny squares, working rounds 1 to 10 in cream and round 11 in burgundy.
- Make 36 large roses, 33 small roses and 144 leaves.
- Weave in all ends and block every square to 16 inches so the corners are sharp and the sizes match.
- Lay the squares out in 6 rows of 6 and take a photo so you do not lose the order.
- Join each row into a strip with burgundy, then join the 6 strips together, matching the corners carefully.
- Sew a large rose to the center of every square and four leaves around it.
- Work Border Rounds 1 to 5 to make the scalloped edge, then sew the 33 small roses along the foot and the two sides.
Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them
Losing the corners in the squares. Count the corner sps after every round, and check that round 11 has 132 dc.
Rolling the rose too loosely, which makes it look flat. Roll the strip tightly and sew the base every half turn.
Pulling the burgundy seams too tight, which puckers the cover. Keep the joining stitches loose and the same tension as the squares.
Losing count in the border. Place a marker at each corner and check the stitch total after Round 1.

Important Notes
Each square should measure 16 inches after blocking with a 5.0 mm hook. Make one test square and one rose before you buy all the yarn.
Yarn amounts are estimates. Buy a little extra cream and rose red to be safe.
Wash cold on a gentle cycle with a color catcher, because red and burgundy can bleed onto cream. Dry flat or tumble dry on low.
I hope this rose cover makes your bedroom feel soft and romantic. Take it one square and one rose at a time, and enjoy watching the garden grow.

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 squares, so you will need more of them. For a throw, make 4 columns by 5 rows (20 squares).
How do I wash it?
Wash cold on a gentle cycle with a color catcher, then dry flat or tumble dry on low. Wash it on its own the first time.
