Introduction
Bring timeless elegance and handmade charm to your bedroom with this exquisite blue and white flower motif crochet bedspread pattern. This project features a delicate array of modular flower motifs—each with a classic light blue and soft white color palette. The floral design is airy but structured; the petals are textured and slightly raised, creating just the right mix of cozy comfort and decorative flair. The repeating floral motifs give the finished piece a vintage yet fresh look that fits beautifully in both modern and traditional interiors.
This crochet bedspread can easily transform a plain bed into a stunning focal point. Drape it over a queen-sized bed for a luxurious touch, or use it as a decorative throw in any room. The flower motifs offer both texture and lightness, making this project rewarding to crochet and even more enjoyable to display. The connection of each motif is both visually striking and straightforward, inviting makers of all skill levels to give it a try.
Making this blanket is not just about the finished bedspread—it’s a relaxing journey as each motif comes together, petal by petal. This pattern invites you to enjoy creating every element, with an end result that brings warmth and beauty to your home for years.
Project Overview
This bedspread is constructed from individual flower-shaped motifs, each worked in rounds. The motifs are made separately and then joined together as you crochet the final round of each motif. The elegant petal shapes and joined points create a continuous, lacy pattern across the bedspread. Once all motifs are joined, a simple border is added for a finished, polished edge.
The project is constructed as follows:
- Each motif is crocheted in the round from the center out.
- Motifs are joined on the last round.
- An optional border is worked around the finished blanket.
Skill Level
Advanced Beginner – While the individual stitches are not complicated, comfort with working in the round, changing colors, and joining motifs is required. A confident beginner ready to follow step-by-step instructions will find this pattern accessible, with some attention to consistent stitch counts and motif joining.
Materials
- Yarn: Sports weight cotton yarn recommended for stitch definition and breathability. Approximate requirements:
- Main color (white): 2,000–2,400 yd (1,830–2,195 m) for a queen-sized bedspread.
- Accent color (blue): 400–500 yd (365–457 m).
- Crochet Hook: US G/6 (4.0 mm) or size needed for gauge.
- Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends and sewing motifs if needed.
- Small Scissors
- Stitch Markers: Helpful for marking motif join points or rounds.
Optional: Blocking pins and mat for finishing.
Finished Size
The finished size for a queen bedspread (as pictured) is approximately 80 inches x 90 inches (203 x 229 cm), including the edging. Each flower motif measures about 5.5 inches (14 cm) wide from petal tip to petal tip. To adjust size, simply make more or fewer motifs, or add additional rounds or border width as desired.
Gauge
Motif (after light blocking): Each completed flower motif should measure about 5.5 inches (14 cm) across. Gauge is not critical, but for a consistent look and correct bedspread size, aim for uniform motif size across the project. Small differences will affect the finished measurements.

- Join rounds with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning ch unless otherwise stated.
- When joining motifs, use the join-as-you-go technique in the final round to avoid sewing.

- Use stitch markers to help keep track of joins and the start of rounds if needed.
Crochet Pattern Instructions
Motif Center (Blue)
- With blue yarn, make a magic ring (MR), ch 2 (counts as first hdc), work 11 hdc into the ring. Join with sl st to top of ch-2. (12 hdc)
- Round 2: Ch 2 (counts as hdc), hdc in same st, 2 hdc in each st around. Join with sl st. (24 hdc) FO blue. (Tip: Pull magic ring tight and weave in starting end.)
Petal Setup (White)
- Join white with sl st in any st, ch 1, sc in same st, *ch 6, sk 1 st, sc in next st; rep from * around (forming 12 ch-6 loops). Join with sl st to first sc. (12 sc, 12 ch-6 loops)
Petals (White)
- Sl st into first ch-6 loop, ch 2 (counts as first dc), 6 dc in same loop, ch 2, sl st in same loop (1 petal made). *Sl st into next ch-6 loop, ch 2, 6 dc in same loop, ch 2, sl st in same loop; rep from * around for a total of 12 petals. Join with sl st to base of first petal. (12 petals)
Enlarged Petal Detailing
- Sl st into next dc, ch 1, sc in same st, *sc in each of next 6 dc (across petal), (ch 2, sl st in sl st between petals); rep from * around. Join with sl st to first sc. (7 sc per petal, ch-2 between petals)
- For larger petals as pictured: Sl st to ch-2 sp, ch 4 (counts as tr), 7 tr in same sp, ch 3, sl st in top of last tr (forms tip of petal), 8 tr in same sp, sl st in same sp. Sl st in next ch-2 sp and rep around. Join with sl st to first tr. (6 large petals total if using every other ch-2 sp; adjust as needed for motif balance). FO and weave in ends.
Edging and Join-as-you-go
- With white, join yarn at tip of any petal, ch 1, sc in tip, ch 5, sc in tip of next petal. Repeat around (if 6 petals: 6 ch-5 arches). For final motif round: Join to adjacent motifs at one or more ch-5 arches using sl st instead of ch for each arch that is joined. Continue this method, joining at every motif intersection so motifs are connected at petal tips as in photo. FO and weave in ends.
Make All Motifs
- Repeat the motif instructions for the total number of motifs required to cover the bed size you wish. Arrange the motifs as you go, joining each one to its neighbors on the last round.
Border (Optional)
- With white, join yarn at any point along the outer edge. Ch 1, *sc evenly along edge, working (sc, ch 2, sc) in every outer tip for a gentle scallop; rep around. Join with sl st to first sc. FO and weave in ends.
Assembly and Finishing
After completing and joining all motifs, lay the blanket on a flat surface. Carefully weave in any loose ends on the wrong side. Gently block the finished piece by laying it flat and pinning to shape, mist lightly with water, and let dry completely to even out the shape and improve drape. For best shape retention, use blocking wires along the border if desired.
If you find any motifs out of alignment, lightly tug into place while blocking. Trim any excess ends and gently steam or re-block if needed.
Customization Ideas
- Try a different color scheme to match your decor—pastel centers with cream petals, or bold jewel tones for dramatic flair.
- Use soft acrylic or a cotton blend for lighter or heavier drape.
- Make a smaller throw, baby blanket, or even cushion covers using the motif instructions.
- Add a more elaborate border for extra texture, or leave off the edging for a cleaner look.
Troubleshooting
- If motifs curl, block and ensure you use the correct hook size for your tension.
- Uneven edges can result from inconsistent stitch tension—slow down and count stitches per round.
- If the finished piece is too large or small, adjust hook size or yarn thickness.
- Loose color changes: Always fasten off and securely weave in ends after each color change.
- Uneven motif joins: Use stitch markers at each joining point to keep motif alignment perfect.
Care Instructions
Hand wash or machine wash on gentle cycle in cool water with mild detergent. Lay flat to dry and reshape while damp. Avoid wringing out. Store flat or gently folded. If needed, lightly steam-block to restore shape between washes.
Final Notes
Check stitch counts as you work for each motif, and adjust tension if needed for uniformity. Don’t be afraid to customize the project. Use the finished image as a visual guide for motif placement and assembly—your blanket will be a beautiful heirloom to treasure.
