3. Work CH 2 arches and DC clusters across the side.
4. Repeat the same corner formation at the remaining three corners.
5. Join with SL ST.

The round flower now begins to take on a square shape.

Round 11 – Expanding the Square

4. Join with SL ST.
5. Fasten off.

Block the square to achieve straight sides and four even corners.

Important construction note: The flower-to-square transition is approximate. The petals and corner placement need to be adjusted on a test motif so the sage-green background lies flat.

7. FORMATION – BEDSPREAD ARRANGEMENT

Make identical daisy granny squares until you reach the required quantity.

Example Bedspread Arrangement – 9 × 10

9 squares across

10 rows long

90 Daisy Granny Squares

Illustrative layout; exact quantity depends on bed size and the blocked square measurements.

For example, if each completed square measures 24 × 24 cm:

• Width: 9 × 24 = 216 cm
• Length: 10 × 24 = 240 cm

The final decorative edging will add extra width and length.

8. METHOD – JOINING THE FLORAL SQUARES

Invisible Mattress Stitch

1. Arrange all completed squares on a flat surface.
2. Position two squares with right sides facing.
3. Align corresponding side stitches and corners.
4. Thread a yarn needle with sage-green yarn.
5. Sew the matching edge stitches together.
6. Continue joining motifs into horizontal rows.
7. Join the completed rows together.
8. Secure all yarn ends.

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 seam.
4. Continue joining squares and rows.

The sage-green yarn helps the seams blend with the square borders.

9. FORMATION – SCALLOPED LACE BEDSPREAD BORDER

Round 1 – Foundation

Using sage-green yarn:

1. Attach yarn at an outer corner.
2. Work SC evenly around the bedspread.

4. Repeat around the entire bedspread.
5. Adjust the chain spaces at the corners.
6. Join with SL ST.

Round 3 – Decorative Shells

1. Work 7 DC into the first CH 5 space.
2. SC into the next anchoring stitch.
3. Repeat around the border.
4. Add extra corner stitches as needed to keep the edging flat.
5. Join with SL ST.

Round 4 – Picot Details

1. Work SC over the outer shells.
2. At the center of each shell, CH 3.
3. SL ST into the first chain to make a picot.
4. Continue around the entire border.
5. Fasten off and weave in the ends.
