About This Green Flower Square Bed Cover Crochet Pattern Pattern

This bed cover is made from 99 cream lace squares. Each square has shell and fan stitches, open mesh corners and a dark green border, and a layered flower is sewn in the center. The flower has a dark green middle, five cream petals, five dark green petals and five sage green outer petals.

The squares are joined in a grid of 9 by 11, so the green borders form soft lines across the bed. A dark green scalloped edge finishes the cover. It is about 75 by 91 inches, worked in worsted cotton with a 5.0 mm hook, and it suits a crocheter who wants a big heirloom project.

Switch Things Up

Try dusty blue and cream for a seaside bedroom, or deep burgundy and cream for a richer look. For a sofa throw, make 5 by 6 squares (30 squares). For a matching pillow cover, join 2 by 2 squares and add the same scalloped edge. You can also work the flower in one color for a simpler square.

Block each square to about 8 inches. Sew a flower to the center of each square with the yarn tail or with A, stitching around the base of the petals.

— Layout :

Lay the squares out in a grid of 9 squares across and 11 squares down, 99 squares in total. Every square is the same: a cream body with a dark green border and a flower in the center.
Keep the flowers all the same way up and match the corners so four green corners meet at each junction.

— Joining the Squares (Make 11 strips of 9, then join the strips) :

Hold two squares with right sides together. With A and the yarn needle, whip stitch through the back loops only across all 43 sc of the touching sides, matching the corner center sts.
Join 9 squares into a strip. Make 11 strips. Then join the 11 strips side by side in the same way, matching the corner sts at every junction.

— Scalloped Edge (Make 1, worked around the whole cover) :

The cover has 40 outer square sides: 9 across the top, 11 down each side and 9 across the bottom.
Round 1: Join A at any outer corner. Ch 1, sc evenly across each outer square side, working 42 sc per side (40 sides x 42 = 1,680 sc). At each of the 4 bed corners work 3 sc in the corner stitch in place of 1 sc (+2 sc per corner, +8 total). Sl st to the first sc. (1,688 sc)
Round 2: Ch 1. *Skip the next sc, 5 dc in the next sc, skip the next sc, sl st in the next sc. Rep from * around, placing a shell centered on each of the 4 corner stitches. Sl st to the first sl st and fasten off. (422 shells of 5 dc, 2,110 dc)

Assembly Instructions

  1. Make 99 layered flowers and 99 lace squares, and weave in the ends.
  2. Block every square to about 8 inches so they all match.
  3. Sew one flower to the center of each square, stitching around the base of the petals.
  4. Lay out the squares in a grid of 9 by 11 with all the flowers the same way up.
  5. Join 9 squares into a strip with dark green yarn, whip stitching through the back loops. Make 11 strips.
  6. Join the 11 strips side by side, matching the corner stitches at every junction.
  7. Work Round 1 of the edge in dark green around the whole cover, placing 3 sc in each of the 4 corners.
  8. Work Round 2 (the dark green shells), weave in all ends and block the whole cover flat.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

Skipping the blocking step. Squares of different sizes make the cover wavy and hard to join.

Making the flower petals too tight. Keep the chains loose so the petals sit flat and open.

Not matching the corner stitches when joining. Match the corner centers so four squares meet neatly.

Sewing the flower too close to the edge of the petals. Stitch around the base so the petals stay raised.

Important Notes

Make one test square first. It should measure about 8 inches wide; if not, change the hook size and recount the grid and the edge.

The edge counts are worked out from 42 sc per outer square side. If your squares come out a different size, adjust the Round 1 count so the total divides evenly by 4.

Check your yarn amounts after about 10 squares and buy more from the same dye lot if needed.

Wash gently in cold water and use a color catcher, because the dark green can bleed onto the cream. Lay flat to dry.

I hope this cover brings a calm, fresh feel to your bedroom. Take your time, enjoy each little flower, and share a photo when you finish yours. Happy crocheting!

You Ask, We Answer

What size is the finished bed cover?

About 75 by 91 inches with the edge, made from 9 by 11 squares of about 8 inches each. That fits a full or queen bed.

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

Yes. For a sofa throw, make 5 by 6 squares (30 squares). A thinner yarn gives smaller squares, so you need more of them. Recount the edge stitches for any new size.

How do I wash and care for it?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water with a color catcher, or hand wash. Lay it flat to dry and reshape the scallops while it is damp.
