Special Stitch – Granny Cluster: A group of 3 DC worked into the same space.

Corner Formation: (3 DC, CH 2, 3 DC) worked into a corner space.

3. METHOD – ROSE PINK SOLID GRANNY SQUARE

Use dusty rose-pink yarn for the textured solid squares.

Round 1 – Foundation Ring

1. Make a magic ring.
2. CH 3 (counts as the first DC).
3. Work 2 DC into the ring.
4. CH 2.
5. Work (3 DC, CH 2) three more times into the ring.
6. Pull the ring closed.
7. Join with SL ST to the top of the beginning CH 3.

You should have four groups of 3 DC and four corner spaces.

Round 2 – Expanding the Square

1. SL ST into the first corner space.
2. CH 3, work 2 DC, CH 2, then 3 DC into that corner.
3. CH 1.
4. In each remaining corner, work (3 DC, CH 2, 3 DC), followed by CH 1.
5. Join with SL ST.

Round 3 – Forming the Pattern

1. SL ST into the first corner.
2. Work (3 DC, CH 2, 3 DC).
3. CH 1.
4. Work 3 DC into the next side space.
5. CH 1.
6. Continue to the following corner.
7. Repeat on all four sides.
8. Join with SL ST.

Rounds 4–8 – Building the Square

Continue working standard granny-square rounds:

1. Work (3 DC, CH 2, 3 DC) into each corner.
2. Work 3 DC into every CH 1 side space.
3. Separate neighboring granny clusters with CH 1.
4. Join each round with SL ST.

Continue until the square reaches the required dimensions.

Final Round – Solid Pink Border

1. CH 1.
2. Work SC evenly around the square.
3. Work (SC, CH 2, SC) at each corner.
4. Join with SL ST.
5. Fasten off and weave in the ends.

Result: One rose-pink granny square with a textured, closely grouped appearance.

4. FORMATION – IVORY OPENWORK GRANNY SQUARE

The ivory squares feature a more open texture than the pink squares.

Round 1 – Foundation

Using ivory yarn:

1. Make a magic ring.
2. CH 3.
3. Work 2 DC into the ring.
4. CH 3.
5. Work (3 DC, CH 3) three more times.
6. Join with SL ST.

Round 2 – Open Lace Formation

1. SL ST into the first corner space.
2. Work (3 DC, CH 3, 3 DC) into the corner.
3. CH 2.
4. Repeat at the other three corners.
5. Join with SL ST.

Round 3 – Creating the Openwork Spaces

1. Begin in a corner space.
2. Work (3 DC, CH 3, 3 DC).
3. CH 2.
4. Work 3 DC into the next side space.
5. CH 2.
6. Repeat on the remaining sides.
7. Join with SL ST.

Rounds 4–8 – Expanding the Openwork Square

Continue working:

• (3 DC, CH 3, 3 DC) in each corner.
• 3 DC into each side space.
• CH 2 between neighboring granny clusters.

The longer chains create the characteristic open lattice texture.

Final Round – Ivory Border

1. CH 1.
2. Work SC evenly around the square, placing approximately 2 SC into each CH 2 side space and 1 SC into each DC.
3. At every corner, work (SC, CH 2, SC).
4. Join with SL ST.
5. Fasten off.

Important: The ivory and pink squares use different stitch spacing, so they may have different stitch counts. Adjust the final rounds as needed to make both blocked squares the same size.

5. FORMATION – CHECKERBOARD ARRANGEMENT

Arrange the completed motifs in alternating colors.

Example Bedspread Layout – 10 × 12 Squares

60 Rose-pink squares

60 Ivory squares

120 Squares TotalSample layout. Adjust the number of squares for your bed size.

For a finished motif measuring 20 × 20 cm:

• 10 squares across = 200 cm
• 12 squares long = 240 cm

The final edging will increase the dimensions slightly.

6. METHOD – JOINING THE SQUARES

Invisible Mattress Stitch

1. Place one rose-pink square next to one ivory square.
2. Align the edges and corners.
3. Use a yarn needle threaded with matching yarn.
4. Sew through the corresponding edge stitches.
5. Continue joining squares into rows, alternating colors.
6. Join all completed rows together.
7. Weave in the loose ends.

Keep the checkerboard color sequence consistent across the entire bedspread.

Alternative – Slip Stitch Joining

1. Place two squares right sides together.
2. Insert the hook through corresponding edge stitches.
3. Work SL ST evenly along the edge.
4. Continue joining the remaining squares.
5. Open the joined squares and flatten the seam.

7. FORMATION – FINAL PINK BEDSPREAD BORDER

Round 1 – Foundation Border

Use rose-pink yarn.

1. Attach yarn at any outer corner.
2. Work SC evenly along the entire perimeter.
3. Work 3 SC at each corner.
4. Join with SL ST.

Round 2 – Decorative Border

1. CH 2.
2. Work HDC into each stitch around the bedspread.
3. At each corner, work 3 HDC into the central corner stitch.
4. Join with SL ST.

Round 3 – Finishing Edge

1. CH 1.
2. Work SC in each stitch around the bedspread.
3. Work 3 SC in the central stitch of each corner.
4. Join with SL ST.
5. Fasten off securely.

This creates a neat, simple border similar to the edging visible in the photograph.

8. MATCHING PATCHWORK PILLOW COVERS

The two decorative pillows repeat the same pink-and-ivory checkerboard design.

Pillow Front

1. Make four small rose-pink granny squares.
2. Make four small ivory openwork granny squares.
3. Arrange them into a 2 × 4 checkerboard pattern.
4. Join the squares together.
5. Add a narrow SC border around the front panel.

Alternatively, use larger squares to produce a 2 × 2 pillow front.

Pillow Back

1. Crochet a rectangular panel in rose-pink yarn using HDC.
2. Continue until it matches the front panel.
3. Place the two panels together with right sides facing.
4. Join around three sides.
5. Turn right side out.
6. Insert the pillow.
7. Close the remaining opening, or use an envelope-style back.

Decorative Edge

Work one or two rounds of SC around the pillow using rose-pink yarn.

9. BONUS – TEXTURED ROSE-PINK LUMBAR PILLOW

The smaller rectangular cushion in the photograph features a ribbed texture with decorative bobbles along the edges.

Front Panel

1. CH 61 using rose-pink yarn.
2. Row 1: Work HDC into the second chain from the hook and across.
3. CH 1 and turn.
4. Row 2: Work HDC in the back loop only across.
5. Repeat Row 2 until the panel reaches approximately 35 cm in height.

Back Panel

Make another identical panel, or two smaller overlapping panels for an envelope closure.

Assembly

1. Place both panels together.
2. Join around the edges.
3. Leave an opening for the cushion insert.
4. Add decorative bobble edging if desired.
5. Close the opening securely.

10. FINISHING AND BLOCKING

1. Weave in all remaining yarn ends.
2. Lightly dampen the bedspread.
3. Lay it on a clean, flat surface.
4. Align the corners and seams of all squares.
5. Gently straighten the openwork sections.
6. Shape the outer border.
7. Allow the bedspread to dry completely.

Blocking is particularly important because the solid and openwork granny squares may respond differently to tension.

11. CONCLUSION

The Rose Pink and Ivory Patchwork Crochet Bedspread combines traditional granny-square craftsmanship with a modern romantic color palette.

The alternating solid pink and ivory openwork motifs create an attractive checkerboard pattern, while the matching pillow covers complete the coordinated bedroom set.

Its modular construction makes the pattern adaptable to different bed sizes, from single to king.

Finished Design: A soft, romantic crochet bedspread featuring dusty rose-pink squares, ivory lace motifs, neat joining seams, a delicate pink border, and coordinating decorative pillows.

Pattern note: The photo does not reveal every stitch. This is a simplified interpretation rather than an exact reproduction. Make one pink and one ivory sample square first, check that their dimensions match, and adjust the rounds before starting the complete bedspread.
