If you decide to crochet a bedspread, you need to decide on its design. When choosing a bedspread design, you need to pay attention to the following points.

Product functionality – what do you need a blanket for? If you are going to use it only as a decorative element, you can choose any openwork volumetric patterns (you are limited only by your crochet skills) and synthetic, knitted yarn. Also use ribbons and beads. A blanket that should warm is suitable for wool or simple yarn using simpler dense knitting patterns. For a blanket that combines these two qualities, you need to find a compromise: if synthetics, then only dense knitting, if openwork patterns, then with fewer holes, using wool or simple yarn. Bedspreads intended for sitting should not have bulky knitting or beads. And for products that protect furniture from dirt, it is better not to use openwork patterns.

Type of knitted product – do you need a bedspread for a sofa, bed, chair? The size of the bedspread depends on this. Use standard sizes: double bed – 220x240 cm; small sofa 150x210 cm; chair – 130x170 cm (more sizes can be found on the Internet). Or measure the parameters of your furniture. Do not forget that the blanket should be thrown over the back (for a sofa, chair), hang from the sides, from below (for a sofa, chair).

Color scheme – it should correspond to the color scheme, style of the interior.

A large number of bright contrasting colors will suit the boho style or a children's room.

The process of making a crochet bedspread

Select a pattern for the product. Not all squares have to be knitted according to the same pattern - you can choose several, based on your desires and fantasies. The Internet is full of patterns for knitting squares. The symbols are quite simple, clear, and it will not be difficult to understand them. But it is better for beginner needlewomen to choose basic patterns so that the pleasant, soothing process does not begin to irritate and discourage needlework.

Proceed directly to knitting the squares. If before this you did not know how much yarn you would need for the entire product, then at this stage it is easy to calculate by measuring the parameters of the finished square and taking into account the amount of yarn spent on it.

When all the elements are ready, the squares need to be connected together. This can be done with a crochet hook or sewn with matching threads.
The final stage is tying the product around the perimeter. The rim around the blanket helps to keep the shape and gives it a neater look. You can tie the blanket with several rows of single crochet or make an openwork braid.
