Purpose of the product. For example, to use it as a decorative element, you don’t have to limit yourself in choosing yarn, knitting patterns and using decorative decorations: beads, rhinestones, ribbons, etc. If you plan to knit a warming blanket, then you should give preference to simpler knitting patterns and yarn from wool or cotton. If you need a universal blanket, you will have to find a compromise solution. There is no need to use beads or bulky knitting for blankets that sit on. Such bedspreads should not have bulky knitting, beads, etc.

Also, its size will depend on the purpose of the homemade blanket. For example, for a double bed you need a blanket approximately 220x240 cm, for an armchair - 130x170 cm, for a small sofa - 150x210 cm.

Color solution. It should be combined with the rest of the interior elements in color and style. For example, for a classic style, Scandinavian interior, calm colors, a combination of no more than 3 colors, are more suitable. If the plaid is intended for, then bright and contrasting colors will be very appropriate.

The structure of the fabric of a blanket or bedspread. It can be a single piece or consist of motifs.

Knitting patterns and master classes

Yarn for crocheting a blanket

Almost any yarn will work for a blanket. If you are still new to this, it is better to opt for a yarn that is easier to knit.

When choosing yarn you should consider:

Type of fiber. There are many options for animal and plant fibers. For beginners, there are three simplest options, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages:

Wool. A great option for crocheting a blanket. Wool yarn is considered an elastic fiber that is “forgiving” of mistakes. However, it should be remembered that many people are allergic to wool. Cotton. A little more difficult to knit than wool, because... is not an elastic fabric. But for some products this is its advantage, since it holds its shape well. If you knit in the summer, then cotton yarn will be an excellent option, and cotton is lighter than wool. Acrylic. A popular fiber among crochet lovers. It is available in a variety of colors and is affordable. For beginner needlewomen, acrylic is the best yarn option. Only some of the cheapest acrylic yarns can present a bit of a challenge for beginners. If this happens, try changing to a different brand of yarn or wool or cotton yarn. Crocheting should be fun and not difficult.

Yarn density. When choosing yarn for a blanket, you need to take into account its thickness (weight). As a rule, it is indicated on the label (1-7). It is easier for beginners to start with medium weight yarn, which is indicated by the number No4 on the label. This is a good option. No3 and No4 are also acceptable, but may not be easy for beginners. Try knitting with different yarns. After all, every needlewoman has her own preferences. The main thing is that the size of the hook you use for knitting matches the weight of the selected yarn. Generally, recommendations for hook size can be found on the yarn labels.

Yarn texture. When starting to learn the basics of crocheting, it is preferable to use smooth yarn so that lint does not get into your eyes and does not interfere with your work.

Yarn color. At first, it is easier for beginners to work with light yarn, since it is difficult to see the seams on dark yarn.

Yarn cost. Yarn from different fibers, different brands, yarn can have a very wide price range. If you are a beginner, it is advisable to choose inexpensive yarns until you know how to knit very well. The best options in this case are wool and acrylic.

Footage. Different balls may contain different amounts of yarn. If you plan to knit a blanket with multiple colors, it is important for you to make sure that you have enough yarn of each color.

Washing instructions. When purchasing yarn, you should pay attention to the washing instructions, since they will also apply to the blanket knitted from it. Moreover, if you are going to use different fibers for one product, since different types of fibers may have different requirements for the mode, washing temperature, drying, etc. This information is usually indicated on the labels.

Obviously, there is nothing difficult in crocheting a blanket if you have a pattern. By collecting threads, having a little desire and perseverance, you can easily create your own little masterpiece for the comfort of your home.

Photo ideas for beautiful knitted blankets

And crocheted bedspreads can be called a very popular trend in needlework. There are several advantages that this type of work has. First of all, this is the obvious ease of manufacturing the fabric, as well as greater freedom of action in choosing yarn, its color and texture.

A crocheted blanket can be intended for adults or children, serve as a decorative element for a bed and sofa, or warm all family members on cool evenings.

Types of bedspreads and blankets that can be crocheted

The good thing about creativity is that you can make something out of nothing. This fully applies to the manufacture of bedspreads. As many craftswomen there are, there are as many options for making this product. However, we can list a few of the most common types of bedspreads that are available for crochet:

It’s worth mentioning the last point right away: such blankets are most often knitted for children, so they have the shape of a butterfly, ladybug, bear, or just a huge flower with petals. The production of such products does not lend itself to any patterns and is planned individually in accordance with the craftswoman’s idea.

Other types of bedspreads can be square, round or oval. They are knitted from cotton (if using an openwork crochet bedspread pattern), wool or wool blend yarn (if the product should be not only beautiful, but also functional).

Square bedspread: circular rows

The rectangle is the most common and convenient shape to use in crochet. It is difficult to spoil it, since you need to try very hard not to build four identical faces with the simplest expansion at the corners. There are a wide variety of square crochet bedspread patterns. They are suitable for composing a fabric from fragments, and for knitting one large square.

Don’t be afraid that the square patterns have no more than 20 rows. They can be very easily adapted to your needs, for example by repeating several openwork or continuous rows as many times as needed. You can use rows not only from one scheme. The beauty of this technique is that all circular rows in square patterns are designed taking into account the correct expansion, so you don’t have to worry about violating the proportions of the future bedspread. When working on a large square, you need to ensure that the colors are balanced. The photo above is a great example of good shade selection. Here two colors of the same tone are used (blue and green), light green and white, which gives them all contrast and brightness.

Bedspread knitted in one piece

Literally every craftswoman can do this kind of work. All you need to do is make the right calculations and make sure you have enough yarn. Next, you should cast on the required number of loops and knit according to the chosen pattern until you obtain the fabric of the required size.

The only subtlety when performing such work is maintaining a smooth edge. Accidental reduction or addition of fabric must not be allowed to occur.

Crocheted square bedspread: working with motifs

A square or rectangular bedspread, consisting of several dozen fragments, always looks very impressive. For many household members and guests of the house, the enormous amount of work that the craftswoman has done is obvious.

Square crochet bedspread patterns can be found literally everywhere, and it is not at all necessary to use the old classic patterns. To be honest, everyone is already tired of them. Modern openwork or solid patterns used for such a traditional thing as a crocheted bedspread will be the key to creating an extraordinary product. You won’t be ashamed to show off his photos on social networks!

The diagrams below offer patterns for knitting bedspreads.

Here is the simplest diagram with a flower in the center. It is perfect for making a bedspread from The fragment is small, and if desired, it can be expanded using the method described above. However, if the craftswoman plans to use the remains of different yarns for knitting a product, you can use this pattern in its original form.

The next motif is designed to obtain a dense fabric. Such crocheted bedspread patterns can be extended indefinitely, repeating the penultimate row. The last row is performed only at the end of knitting the fragment, as it smoothes out the corners formed when knitting the previous rows. This scheme is quite complicated at first glance, but it is not difficult to understand. For convenience, the rows are painted in different colors. A diagram of an openwork fragment for creating

Connection of motives

The stage that completes crocheting a bedspread is the assembly of the steamed fragments. This can be done with a needle or crochet. It is highly recommended not to knit motifs while knitting the last row. Quite often it is necessary to adjust the shape or size of fragments, especially if they are made of different patterns and from different yarns. It is more convenient to make any adjustments before the motives are collected.

At the end, the bedspread can be tied with a beautiful border or several rows of a dense pattern. This “frame” gives the product a finished look.

A blanket crocheted from squares will decorate any interior. This product looks stylish, beautiful and quite original. Don’t know how to crochet a blanket from squares because you don’t yet have experience creating such hand-knitted items? Making it is not difficult at all, just follow the following scheme.

Crochet blanket from squares: materials and pattern

For such a product you will need the following materials:

• yarn - thick thread is best, which contains both synthetics and wool; for this blanket you will need 200 g of gray yarn and 100 grams of red and yellow yarn;
• a hook with a number that matches the yarn you have chosen;
• needles with a large eye (if you decide to sew motifs rather than knit them together).

This blanket consists of individual squares of different colors, knitted according to the “Granny Squares” pattern shown below:

A total of 20 such elements need to be connected. A product consisting of such a number of squares is small and suitable for a child. If you want the blanket to be larger, the number of individual elements must be increased.

Description of the pattern: there is nothing complicated in knitting a blanket; the element consists of air loops, single crochets and double crochets.

Everything is very simple, so this is the best option for a blanket crocheted from squares for beginner needlewomen.

Start knitting the product with yellow yarn. Cast on five air loops and close them into a ring.

First row: dial 3 v. p. (chain loops) to lift a row, knit 2 tbsp. With. n. (double crochet), 2 in. p., then repeat ⃰ 3st. With. n., 2nd c. n. ⃰ - three times.

At the end of the row, it is important to move to the hole that was formed at the beginning of knitting using air loops.

This is done by knitting connecting posts.

Second row: switch to red yarn. Make 3 in. lifting point. Then knit according to this pattern: ⃰1 in. p., 3 tbsp. With. n., 2nd c. p, 3 tbsp. With. n. ⃰ - repeat rapport 4 times.

Third row: knitted with yellow yarn. Follow the pattern above, the knitting principle is the same as the previous two rows.

Fourth row: change the yarn color to red.

This row is knitted in single crochets; 2 chain stitches must be knitted at the corners.

Fifth row: switch to gray yarn. It is knitted in single crochets into each stitch of the previous row.

Two air loops should be knitted in each corner of the square.

Be sure to ensure that there are the same number of posts on each side of the square.

Row 6: Return to the Granny Square pattern.

As before, you need to knit “fans” from 3 tbsp. With. n., on each side of the element there should be five “fans”.

The last row consists of single crochets, they are knitted with red or yellow threads.

For a children's blanket, you need to knit ten squares with a red and a yellow edge.

A blanket crocheted from squares using this pattern can be assembled in several ways.

You can crochet them by first placing the elements tied with yellow and red yarn one after another.

You can also use a thick needle to sew granny squares together.

The finished blanket needs to be steamed with an iron so that all seams are even and smooth.

This processing allows you to align all the elements, so you don’t need to worry if some squares are slightly deformed when joining.

When all the elements are combined into one product, the finished blanket should be tied in single crochets with yellow yarn.

Blanket of squares crocheted from a corner (with diagram)

A crocheted blanket made from squares knitted from a corner is another favorite product of many knitters.

To make such a product yourself, you need to follow the diagram on how to crochet a blanket from squares, presented below:

Knitting a motif must begin with a ring of four air loops.

1st row: 3 in. p., 2 tbsp. from N., 2nd century. p., 3 tbsp. With. n., 3rd c. P..

When these elements are knitted, make 3 air loops and turn the knitting over.

2nd row: it consists of double crochets in each loop of the previous row, and in the corner of the square above the “arch”, consisting of 2 chain loops, you should knit: 2 tbsp. With. n., 2nd c. p., 2 tbsp. With. n.

This is how you should knit all subsequent rows to the desired square size.

If desired, the colors of the yarn can be changed at your discretion.

The finished squares must be tied with double crochets with yarn of a contrasting color in relation to the main product, and connected with a hook or needle.

Floral plaid made of squares

If you have a little daughter or niece, knit her a beautiful floral blanket from squares.

First you need to knit the chamomile:

First row: ⃰st. from 1st century, 2nd century. n. ⃰ - repeat rapport eight times.

Second row: above each “arch” of air loops, knit 5 tbsp. from 1 n., between them 5 c. P.

Third and fourth rows: knitted in a spiral according to the pattern, one row smoothly transitions into the other.

From the fifth row, start knitting in reverse rows on both sides of the square motif.

When you have knitted the required number of flowers in a square to make a blanket of the appropriate size, sew or crochet them.

These and other ways to crochet a blanket from squares are in the video below:

We always associate a blanket with home comfort and warmth. On a cold day, it’s so nice to cover yourself with a blanket or wrap your frozen feet with it.

Plaid can play not only its main role - keep the owners warm. It can also become an integral part of the interior. A crocheted blanket, multi-colored or plain, wool or cotton, will look great in the living room or bedroom and will give your home a unique and unusual look.

Such a cozy design detail will be appropriate both in warm and cold seasons, in an apartment and, especially, in a country house or in a house in the village.

You can cover your bed in the bedroom with a blanket. It will perfectly emphasize the comfort of the room where you relax. During the day you can lie on top of a blanket with a book or take a nap, and if it’s cool, you can cover yourself with it without dismantling the bed. A blanket is sometimes used not as a bedspread, but as an addition to it.

A neatly folded handmade blanket will create a cozy atmosphere in the bedroom or living room. Knitted with contrasting threads matched to the color of the upholstery, it will look great on a sofa or deep armchair. You can choose or make sofa pillows to pair with the blanket. The blanket can also be the same color as the furniture - so it will not be conspicuous as an addition to textiles or carpet.

In addition to the fact that this way you will focus on the color spots in the design, it is also possible to hide some furniture defects if they exist. It will also be great to cover upholstered leather furniture with a beautiful blanket - it will be elegant and not so cold to sit on it.

What can you knit a blanket from?

You can knit a blanket from wool, cotton and acrylic threads, or combining these threads. In the latter case, the blanket will not only be warm, but also practical - after all, synthetic threads are more wear-resistant. A blanket made only from acrylic threads will last longer, it may have a richer color palette, but it will accumulate static electricity and will not warm you up like a natural one.

For winter, it is better to knit or purchase a wool blanket. At the same time, the looser the blanket pattern is, the more air there will be between the fibers, and the better it will warm.

For ethnic decoration of a room - bedroom or living room blankets with bright national patterns in cheerful colors will be nice. For a classic interior, an elegant, discreet blanket made of cotton or linen yarn in natural colors with a geometric pattern or relief patterns is more suitable. You can decorate a plaid with fringe, a deliberately “disheveled” edge, or fringe gathered in a tassel.

Crochet blankets - photo

In the general knitted trend, which triumphantly appeared a couple of seasons ago, it stands out especially clearly in its beauty and functionality. knitted blanket. Although, on the other hand, we don’t know how it is in Western countries, but we have traditionally used this technique, giving preference to skillful needlework over faceless textile bedspreads. Today in the article we will not only look at beautiful examples of what can be made using knitting needles and a crochet hook, but also at ideas for simple products that you can easily make with your own hands.

Knitted bedspreads

As mentioned above, they are experiencing a real boom in popularity. They are used next to the most expensive furniture and home textiles; not only sofa cushions, but also all kinds of interior details are decorated in canvas. But exactly knitted bedspreads and a sofa have become the best ways to both follow a fashion trend and get a truly functional item that will serve you for many years, despite the variability of fashion.

Size knitted bedspread, buy which you can not only in specialized stores, but also order from craftswomen on an individual project, ranges from a very large one, which can cover an entire double bed, to a small blanket. A small product is placed on top of the main bedspread, for example, cotton or quilted (which perfectly protects the bottom layer and bed linen from dust and dirt). A small blanket has a number of advantages, and, first of all, its price. It is directly proportional to the size of the rug, since the work and material are doubled, and working with a huge canvas will be much more difficult.

If knitting is not one of your skills, then you can do things a little differently and find a compromise between buying and sewing. The fact is that many fabric stores sell ready-made knitted or knitted fabric, which is made by machine knitting. You can buy the required number of centimeters in width for yourself, and if the roll has a standard length, you will get a wonderful blanket. All you need is to process the cuts using an overlocker or, for example, a satin bias tape. The combination of knitted fabric with light silk or fabric of bright, colorful coupons also looks very nice. In this case, the fabric is simply sewn to the knitwear and on one side the bedspread will have one look, suitable, for example, for, and by turning it over, you can give the bedroom a spring-summer mood.

For those who held knitting needles and a hook much later than in school craft lessons and understand diagrams and step-by-step recommendations no worse than the plots of their favorite TV series, it will be more financially profitable to make the entire product with their own hands. Judge for yourself, all you need is a master class on knitted blanket, diagram which is in any issue of the knitting magazine. You can not only choose threads that perfectly match the color and texture, but also cover exactly the surface that you need, that is, knit a blanket according to individual sizes.

The ability to knit yourself is especially valuable if you want to make beautiful and large knitted blankets for the sofa, which, as you know, has a very individual shape. Using the measurements taken from the sofa, as well as additional fasteners in the form of elastic bands or special tapes, ribbons and ties, you can make a cover that will not fall or slide off the back of the sofa, while it will have a fashionable knitted texture. Buying a ready-made cover that will fit exactly your sofa model is an almost impossible task. We have already discussed this in one of the previous articles.

Knitted blanket

The easiest and fastest way to transform a room in accordance with fashionable design is to do knitted blanket. Even simple rows of columns, in which there is nothing complicated or intricate, end up looking very elegant and this will be confirmed by the photos that you will see below.

There is one secret that will help you complete the task in record time. We are talking about large yarn and large knitting needles. Knitting on them can be equated to physical exercise on a small exercise machine. Yes, and some skill is needed. But it will appear in the process of needlework quite quickly. Of course, there is nothing complicated in such a canvas and the centimeters will simply grow before our eyes with each new row, but even here you need to remember the main rule. The simpler the pattern you choose for the product, the more standard the pattern, the more accurate the knitting overall should be. Try to ensure that all the loops are the same size and do not be lazy; if any loop in the row is knocked out or different, tie the entire row. Due to its large size, each loop will be examined as if under a microscope, so flaws will definitely be noticeable.

You can see how beautiful such handicrafts can be in the photographs illustrating this section. As you can see, large loops do not require any additional decor and the main trend for them is light, neutral shades, which make it possible to examine and appreciate the wool texture. Such a thing is indispensable for a fashionable interior in the Scandinavian style or in the loft style; it is something that brings the right mood, and is relatively inexpensive.

Crocheted bedspreads

And here crocheted bedspreads will be useful to us if we want to learn, or Provence, that is, in such styles for which the spirit of antiquity is rather a plus than a minus. Such blankets often do not have the function of blankets in which it is pleasant to wrap yourself up on a cool autumn evening, since they cannot be too warm due to their openwork. But their appearance, which in some way makes them similar to lace, allows you to get a very interesting visual effect and transform a bed or sofa.

It is worth creating a continuous fabric with crochet when we are talking about a small-sized product, because with crochet you will have to make many more loops and it will be more difficult to keep a straight shape. But in this case, you can use the technique of connecting parts, when you first make many circular motifs, and then, with the help of additional columns, they are connected into a single whole.

When choosing a suitable pattern for yourself, you should know that each of them can be embodied on yarn of any quality; the overall size of the future craft will depend on the thickness of the thread, but the pattern, scale, and ratio of all elements will remain the same. So you can even take a pattern that is suitable for a small tablecloth, just knit it not with iris threads or other similar cotton material, but use thick woolen threads and you will get a great crocheted bedspread. Scheme There are both simple and complex ones, choose them depending on your skills. You just need to remember that even a simple scheme can give a spectacular result if you take care of the appropriate decor. For example, in one example you can see the bottom of the canvas decorated with small tassels. You can make them yourself; there is nothing complicated in making them, or you can buy them ready-made at a hardware store. There you can also buy fringe, twisted cord, complex piping, and appliqués that you can sew on the bottom of the blanket.

DIY knitted bedspread

You can make sure if you dare to make hand knitted bedspreads that it is no more difficult than sewing fashionable ones. It is these techniques that will allow you to get a completely individual interior, unlike any other. However, often for inspiration we need a serious reason or a small task in which we could practice beforehand. An excellent reason can be the need to make a small blanket for a baby in a stroller or crib. Its size is small, the degree of ostentation also allows you to experiment and train, but having mastered a small product, it is quite possible to move on to larger ones.

Price for baby knitted blanket, which they offer to make to order according to the chosen model, turns out to be quite high. And for those needlewomen who have already developed a certain circle of clients, having proven the quality of their work, you will also have to wait a considerable amount of time until it’s your turn to order. It’s much easier to try knitting a small blanket that will help you decorate a stroller or create a warm corner for your baby.

An important condition for any such work is the responsible choice of yarn. It’s even good if you still do everything manually, since this will be the best way to control the quality of the material. Stores sell special hypoallergenic yarn that does not irritate children's delicate skin. In addition, you must buy such material for children's knitted bedspreads so that they do not shrink or become deformed during washing, since they will need to be washed as often as other children's things, especially if you take the bedspread outside.

Knitted blankets and bedspreads

Beautiful knitted blankets and bedspreads, which you saw in today’s article, should definitely inspire you to new handicraft achievements. If you are confused by the number of patterns and lessons on the Internet and in magazines and want to choose just one, then we offer an excellent option - a bedspread with a pattern of squares.

In fact, such grandmother’s handicraft is a traditional skill, akin to those openwork bedspreads that are crocheted. It was easier to make several squares and then combine them into a single canvas. You can make identical squares, you can play around with colors, or even make individual squares for each square. The good thing about this product is that you can increase its size and length even as you use it.

Hello dear readers.

For craftswomen who are looking for patterns for a crocheted bedspread, I present a whole selection in which you can find motifs for every taste and color.

The work will be painstaking, but it will be worth it.

Crochet bedspread patterns

I found this selection in the English crochet magazine Crochet Monthly . For beginner knitters, let me clarify that all bedspreads are assembled from motifs, the diagrams of which are provided in the article. The motifs can be crocheted or sewn with a needle.

Crochet bedspread "Chamomile"

Crocheted blanket made from motifs. It is advisable to do it in light colors.

Crochet bedspread "Lily"

The motifs need to be connected using single crochets, which need to be knitted from the wrong side of the product.

Crochet bedspread “Floral romance”

Crochet bedspread “White tenderness”

Bedspread made of motifs. Made with crochet.

The number of motifs for the bedspread pattern is not determined; this nuance will depend on the width of your future bedspread.

In this example, 12 motifs are connected.

Crochet bedspread "Ruby"

For this knitting pattern, a cross means: four single crochets in a row. Next comes fillet knitting.

Bedspread “Spiderweb”

It is advisable to make this knitted blanket with a strong thread (like “Iris”) so that it does not become deformed later.

Also, after finishing knitting (and after each wash), it is advisable to starch it.

The motifs shown in the knitting patterns can be used. The difference between them will be in the threads used.

I hope, dear readers, that something caught your eye and you can make your dream come true.

3. Use threads of different shades - this will give your item uniqueness.
4. Beginners should start knitting with crochet number 4 or 5.
5. If you are knitting a blanket for a baby, use natural threads made from cotton or wool.

How to connect parts from squares to each other? Ornaments can be made in a straight line or in a circle. When working in a straight line, columns with or without capes are knitted on a chain of a certain number of chain stitches. At the end of each row, we turn the product and also knit it until we get a square blanket. You can take yarn of different colors. When knitting in the round, the first chain stitches are closed into a ring and knitted in columns in a spiral. A square mold is obtained by adding air loops in certain corners of the square.

Let's measure the length of the sides of the squares and calculate the required number to obtain a knitted blanket of the required size with a good motif.

Ready-made square motifs iron and prepare for sewing, don’t forget to choose a color transition for your grandma’s blanket.

When tying square motifs with a needle, the seam will be almost invisible if their final rows are knitted in the same way and in the same shade.

Knitting blankets- it’s a pleasure, during this process, you can imagine what a beautiful result will be, which will not only decorate your favorite sofa, but also give you cozy warmth in the evening in front of the TV. Knit a blanket simply from motives, then combining them into a whole canvas.

When knitting motifs, you can use different colors of yarn; these can be accumulated remnants of threads in contrasting colors - they will make a bright, cheerful blanket or selected halftones of the same color to knit a more restrained blanket.

I suggest linking plaid of square motifs with a lush flower in the center, which is highlighted with orange yarn, the orange will be accompanied by yellow yarn and, to balance this variegation, gray yarn for the base. About 1000 grams of yarn made a small blanket measuring 80 x 125 cm. Select a large hook.

Crochet square motif:

At the beginning of knitting the motif, it is necessary to form a ring of thread.

Then insert the hook into the ring, pull out the working thread, grab the thread with the hook again and knit the first stitch from the ring. Do 2 more airs. lifting loops.

Knitting the first row of the motif forms a flower, the petals of which are lush columns, there are eight in total. To knit the first lush stitch, yarn over the hook, then insert the hook into the ring, grab the working thread and pull the loop to the height of the instep loops. Yarn over again, insert the hook into the ring, grab the working thread and pull out the second long loop. Next, grab the working thread with your hook, knit all the loops on the hook and complete the fluffy stitch by grabbing the thread again and knitting it.

Between the lush columns, knit arches of three air. loops

For the second puffy stitch, repeat 3 times: yarn over, pull out a long loop. Then knit all the elongated loops on the hook and again to complete the fluffy stitch.

Having knitted 8 lush columns from the ring, finish the first row with 3 air stitches. loops.

Now tighten the ring by pulling the free end of the thread.

Secure it by knitting a connection from the center. a column from which you pull the end of the thread.

To complete the first row of the motif - a lush flower, make a connection. column from the top of the first lush column. Cut the thread and secure it by pulling the end out of the loop. You can disguise the end of the thread by pulling it through the loops of the next arch.

First knitting the second row let's attach a new thread. To do this, make an initial loop on the hook, insert the hook under the arch, grab the working thread, pull out the loop, grab the working thread with the hook again and knit the first stitch.

To hide the tip of the new thread, turn it in the direction of knitting, and then make 2 more air. lifting loops. When knitting the next two double crochets from under the arch, tie the ends of the threads and then cut them.

Having knitted the first group of stitches, make one chain loop and *knit 2 groups of three double crochets from the next arch, with 3 chain loops between them, thereby forming the first corner of the square. Next is one air loop, group of 3 tbsp. s/n from the next arch. Repeat from *. Finish knitting the second row by forming the fourth corner of the square.

Make one chain stitch and a connecting post from the last lifting loop. Cut, fasten the thread, and pull the tip in the direction of knitting.

It is created by the hands and soul of the housewife. All interior items, accessories and small details reflect the character and habits of their owners. The most pleasant atmosphere in the house is when every little thing in the interior brings aesthetic pleasure and gives home peace. The warmest and most welcoming interior items will be knitted square bedspreads. They warm you up in the literal and figurative sense of the word!

Combination of styles

Crocheted square blanket- this is such a universal thing that it can harmoniously combine with almost any style in the interior. It is important to choose the right colors, sizes and patterns at the initial stage.

• For modern modernism or minimalism, a bedspread of restrained colors and not too pronounced texture is suitable. You can use synthetic or cotton yarn. Wool next to an abundance of metal and plastic will be inappropriate.

• Textured styles such as boho, Provence or country will perfectly accept a patchwork style bedspread with original floral motifs and fringe. Yarn made from natural and synthetic materials is suitable.

• Classics love luxury and grandeur in everything – the bedspread is no exception. Complex and intricate patterns, the addition of gold or silver threads, beads, beads and other chic are real attributes of luxury. A classic style bedspread will become the central element of the entire interior.

• Simplicity and conciseness are the loft style. Cotton or wool yarn and soft monochrome colors.

Choosing the color of the bedspread

A harmonious combination of colors is one of the basic rules of the interior. Therefore, before purchasing yarn and starting to create your masterpiece, you need to thoroughly think through the color scheme.

Several standard combination variations:

• Blue curtains, snow-white tulle and blue-green beds. The color scheme of the bedspread can be any of the above colors or differ by several tones.
• Beige color for pillows and curtains, chocolate carpet with black edging on the floor. A dark bedspread or beige with a pattern to match the edging of the carpet is perfect.
• Contrasts are allowed, but they are appropriate and harmonious. For a white room - blue, red, blue, wheat. For beige - the color of ripe berries and rich shades of fresh greenery.

Optimal size

Compliance with the size of the product and the dimensions of the furniture for which it is intended is very important. The bed should be covered almost to the floor, otherwise the look will be unfinished and even clumsy.

For armchairs and sofas, options are possible when only the back and seat are covered, or the furniture is completely covered, including the armrests and even the back.

The standard bedspread size for a double bed is 220*240 cm, for a chair 130*170 cm, a small sofa 150*210 cm, a corner sofa 240*260 cm, a crib 170*240 cm.

All parameters are strictly individual and depend on the dimensions of the furniture. It is very easy to adjust the size of a blanket knitted with squares. If necessary, you can always add a few more missing squares to the almost finished product.

Basic principles of knitting

On my own granny square pattern, as it is commonly called, is not very complex. Even a novice needlewoman can quickly master it. The basis of any crocheted square is a simple single crochet. Having mastered this technique, you can proceed to more complex elements with several yarn overs and air loops.

The symbols in all crochet patterns are basically the same. It won't be difficult for you to figure out any pattern. But before you jump into complex patterns, be sure to fully master simple, basic knitting techniques. Otherwise, from a pleasant process, creating an exclusive bedspread will turn into a tedious and endless process.

Basic patterns make no less attractive bedspreads than complex and textured ones.

Crocheted bedspreads with patterns

Some knitted square patterns for beautiful and original bedspreads.

Knitted patchwork bedspreads look original and fun.

Delicate blanket for a baby crib. It can also be used as a soft, warm blanket.

Pillowcases on sofa cushions, curtains on windows or a tablecloth will look harmonious with the bedspread.

Crocheted pillow and bedspread patterns

Your product will be even more beautiful and sophisticated if you decorate it with knitted flowers and trim the edges with openwork frills.

Don't forget about the wrong side. Of course, if you are knitting an openwork blanket and sometimes plan to use it as a thin blanket, you can leave the reverse side as is. But it is better to sew fabric to the wrong side of the furniture blanket. Choose material with appropriate colors and soft texture. The lining should not deform the product, but look like a natural base.

The entire process of making a bedspread usually takes from one to three months. Spend at least 1 hour a day knitting while watching your favorite movie or TV series. Time will fly by and very soon your home will have an exclusive interior detail created with your own hands.

Of course, such a bedspread can also be purchased to order, but it is much more pleasant to make it yourself - by investing your soul, love and painstaking work.

The imagination of interior designers and craftsmen knows no bounds. New ideas for knitted square blankets are constantly emerging.

Knitted bedspread

Looks very stylish and beautiful in the interior knitted blankets. A huge number of simple and complex motifs allow you to create unique products.

Original version

A budget and original option is blanket made from old wool sweaters. Everyone probably has a couple of knitted items in their wardrobe that are outdated or out of shape. A sweater or cardigan is a bulky item and takes up a lot of space in the closet, and if the family is large, the problem becomes more global.

There is no need to throw things away - sew a blanket. Open up the sweater and cut out squares. The size is not fundamentally important; you can use the same parts or combine small and large ones.

Sew all the details by hand or on a sewing machine. You can carefully sew along the edge, braid, fringe, simply bend it or process it with an overlocker. The bedspread is ready! Minimum investment of time and money.

Bright drawings of animals

When creating a blanket for a nursery, you can deviate a little from the traditional “granny square” knitted in a circle. Use original and fun motifs. For example, squares with colorful animals. All elements are knitted with a single crochet, the color of the threads is selected taking into account the pattern. Plain and patterned squares are sewn together in a checkerboard pattern. Your child will definitely love this blanket!

Blanket-plaid with a cheerful face

Design one of the corners of the children's blanket in the form of a cheerful and good-natured face of a bear, kitten or other animal. The product will be an excellent bedspread and blanket at the same time, and the bright convex elements will be very interesting for a newborn baby.

Creating an interior yourself is always pleasant and exciting!
