SEO Title: Pink and White Crochet Flower Bedspread Pattern
Meta Description: Make a pink and white crochet flower bedspread pattern with six-petal lace motifs, joining instructions, sizing tips, and matching crochet pillow covers.
Focus Keyword: crochet flower bedspread pattern
Introduction
Six elongated petals surround each open flower center, giving this pink-and-white bedspread its distinctive lace structure. This crochet flower bedspread pattern uses separately crocheted floral motifs, small connecting flowers, and a flexible openwork joining method. Work with DK cotton yarn and a 4 mm hook to target a customizable 220 × 240 cm coverlet. Designed for intermediate-to-advanced crocheters, the modular construction makes individual sections easier to measure, repair, and assemble.
The Design: What Makes This Flower Bedspread Different
The defining feature is the elongated opening inside every petal. Unlike a conventional solid crochet flower motif, this design uses chain loops surrounded by dense stitches to create a raised outline without filling the center.
A second structural decision involves the small connector flowers. These fill the gaps between larger motifs, preventing the floral crochet blanket from stretching unevenly under its own weight.
Finally, alternating pink and ivory flowers create a repeating color arrangement without requiring frequent color changes inside individual petals. Each large motif remains one color, simplifying yarn management.
A common mistake with this style is joining neighboring petals too tightly. Excessively short connections distort the flower centers and make the crochet lace blanket pucker.

Materials and Tools
Yarn
- Rose pink DK cotton yarn — for approximately half the flower motifs.
- Ivory white DK cotton yarn — for remaining flowers, joining bridges, and connectors.
- Optional pale pink backing fabric — for a less transparent finish.
- Optional cotton fabric — for matching pillow backs.
Choose a smooth cotton yarn with clear stitch definition. DROPS Muskat or a similar DK cotton is a possible option.
How Much Yarn Is Needed?
Yarn consumption cannot be accurately established from the photograph. Crochet and weigh a complete flower in each color, multiply by the number of required flowers, and add the weight of joining samples, fillers, and border. Allow approximately 10–15% extra.
For example, if one flower weighs 18 g, 120 flowers require approximately 2,160 g before joining yarn and border allowances.
Tools
- 4 mm crochet hook
- Locking stitch markers
- Tapestry needle and scissors
- Measuring tape and digital scale
- Blocking mats and rust-resistant pins
- Two pillow inserts

Pattern – Step by Step
Pattern note: This is an original, untested, photo-inspired interpretation. It is not the original designer’s pattern. Make and block a sample before starting the full bedspread.
Part 1: Large Six-Petal Flower Motif
Yarn: Rose pink or ivory DK cotton.
Flower Center
Round 1: Make a MR. Ch 1, work 6 sc into the ring, and join with a sl st. (6 sc)
Round 2: Ch 1, work 2 sc in each stitch around, and join. (12 sc)
Round 3: Ch 1, work 2 sc in each stitch around, and join. (24 sc)
Round 4: Ch 1, work 1 sc in each stitch around, and join. (24 sc)
Divide the center into six sections of four stitches each using removable markers.
Petal Foundations
Round 5: Repeat six times: ch 18, skip the next 3 unworked stitches of Round 4, sl st into the fourth stitch. (6 chain loops)
Each chain loop forms the central opening of one elongated petal.
Petal Outlines
Round 6: Around each ch-18 loop, work 1 sc, 2 hdc, 5 dc, 3 tr, ch 3, 3 tr, 5 dc, 2 hdc, 1 sc, then sl st at the petal base.
Repeat for all six petals. Each petal contains 22 worked stitches and one ch-3 tip. Work the stitches around the chain foundation, leaving the elongated center open.
Petal Reinforcement
Round 7: Work one sc into each of the 22 petal outline stitches. At the ch-3 tip, work (sc, ch 2, sc). Repeat for all six petals, using a sl st at each petal junction.
Fasten off and leave a 15 cm tail.
Part 2: Small Connector Flowers
Yarn: Ivory white.
Round 1: Make a MR. Ch 1, work 6 sc into the ring, and join. (6 sc)
Round 2: Ch 1, work 2 sc in each stitch, and join. (12 sc)
Round 3: Repeat six times: sl st into next stitch, ch 4, sl st into following stitch. (6 loops)
Round 4: Into each ch-4 loop work (sc, 2 hdc, ch 2, 2 hdc, sc). (6 petals)
Join, fasten off, and leave a 20 cm tail for attachment.
Part 3: Crochet Joining Bridges
Lay two blocked flowers beside each other with their intended joining tips facing.
Row 1: Join ivory yarn at the ch-2 tip of the first flower. Ch 5, sl st into the corresponding petal tip of the second flower. (5 ch)
Row 2: Ch 5, sl st into the next intended attachment point on the first flower. (5 ch)
Continue where the layout requires connections. Keep all bridges consistent in tension.
Six-petal motifs do not form a rectangular grid like squares. Establish the exact joining positions using blocked samples, then attach small connector flowers at suitable intersections.
Part 4: Arranging the Pink and White Flowers
- Prepare three pink and three ivory flowers.
- Arrange them in alternating colors.
- Rotate neighboring motifs to test their alignment.
- Add small connector flowers at suitable intersections.
- Join the sample panel and block it.
- Measure its horizontal and vertical dimensions.
- Calculate the number of repeats required for the bedspread.
Use a staggered layout if it provides more even spacing. The exact grid in the reference photograph cannot be determined reliably.
Part 5: Crochet Bedspread Border
Foundation Round: Join ivory yarn at a corner attachment point. Work sc into available outer petal stitches, with ch-3 or ch-5 bridges across gaps as needed for a flat perimeter.
Round 2: Work sc across the foundation stitches and chain spaces. At each planned corner, work (sc, ch 2, sc).
Round 3: Repeat *sc in next stitch, ch 3, skip next 2 stitches* along straight edges, adjusting the last repeat before each corner.
Round 4: Work 3 sc into each ch-3 space and 1 sc into each exposed sc, with (sc, ch 2, sc) at corners.
Fasten off and weave in the ends. Adjust the foundation if the border ripples or draws inward.
Part 6: Matching Floral Crochet Pillow Covers
Use the same flower motifs to create two coordinating pillow fronts. Arrange and join the motifs until the blocked panel matches the intended pillow size.
Attach the crochet panel to a fabric backing with an envelope opening or zipper. The fabric prevents the insert from showing prominently through the openwork.
How to Calculate the Correct Bedspread Size
Calculate the number of motifs from a joined and blocked sample panel rather than from a single flower’s diameter.
For example, if three flower positions occupy 45 cm, the average spacing is 15 cm per position. A 220 cm target width requires approximately 15 positions before adjustments for borders and staggered rows.
| Bed Size | Example Coverlet Target |
|---|---|
| Single | 150 × 220 cm |
| Double | 200 × 230 cm |
| Queen | 220 × 240 cm |
| King | 260 × 260 cm |
These are illustrative project targets. Measure the bed and desired drop before choosing the final dimensions.
Assembly Instructions
- Complete the master flower. Make one pink and one ivory motif.
- Block the samples. Pin the petals symmetrically and allow them to dry.
- Check the centers. Inspect the six petal openings for distortion.
- Produce the large motifs. Crochet the calculated quantity in both colors.
- Arrange the bedspread. Lay out the motifs in alternating colors.
- Join neighboring flowers. Connect selected petal tips with ivory bridges.
- Attach connector flowers. Fill suitable intersections with small motifs.
- Complete the border. Work the foundation and decorative rounds.
- Assemble the pillow covers. Attach blocked floral panels to backing fabric.
- Finish the project. Weave in yarn tails, inspect joins, and block as appropriate.
The completed set consists of a modular floral bedspread and two coordinating pillow covers.
7 Technical Tips for Better Results
- Mark the six petal divisions. Place markers every four stitches in the 24-stitch center. Incorrect spacing produces asymmetrical petals.
- Measure the blocked motif. Compare opposite-tip measurements. Differences greater than 5 mm may indicate uneven tension.
- Protect the teardrop openings. Avoid overcrowding the ch-18 foundations. Excess stitches make the petals curl.
- Control joining tension. Maintain consistent ch-5 bridges. Tight connections cause puckering, while loose ones create oversized gaps.
- Weigh the yarn samples. Measure a finished flower to the nearest gram. Small errors multiply across a large bedspread.
- Block a joined panel. Check the assembled width before scaling up. Joining tension can change the final dimensions.
- Secure yarn tails. Weave ends through dense stitches in several directions. Loose tails may work free during laundering.
Washing and Blocking the Finished Bedspread
Follow the yarn manufacturer’s washing instructions and test a sample motif first. Support the fabric when lifting it wet, since a large cotton lace coverlet can become heavy.
Dry flat where practical, arranging flower centers and petal tips into their intended positions. Avoid hanging the wet bedspread from a narrow line because the weight can stretch its joins.
Store the finished coverlet folded rather than suspended.
