Looking for a breathtaking, vintage-inspired crochet project? The Soft Pink Daisy Bedspread Crochet Pattern covers your bed in a dense, blooming field of textured pink daisies paired with rich cream bobble centers. Joined directly at the petal tips and accented with tiny cream bobble flowers, this bedspread offers an organic, luxurious texture.
To complete the set, two matching pillow shams feature a structured diamond lattice square motif in soft pink and cream. This contrast between the organic flower field and the geometric pillow fronts creates a professionally coordinated bedding set without looking overly repetitive.

Step-by-Step Crochet Instructions
Section 1: Daisy Center with Bobble
(Make approximately 200 for a full/queen bedspread)
- Round 1: With cream yarn, work 8 sc in a MR. (8 sts)
- Round 2: *bobble in next st, ch 1; rep from * around all 8 sts to form a textured bobble ring surrounding the center.
- Sl st to close, FO leaving a short tail. Repeat until you have approximately 200 cream centers.
Section 2: Daisy Petals & Join-As-You-Go Assembly
- First Daisy Base: With soft pink yarn, join in any st along the outer edge of a finished cream center.
- Petal Construction: Work each of the 10 petals individually: ch 3, (sc, hdc, 2 dc, hdc, sc) in 2nd ch from hook, sl st into the next base st on the center to anchor the petal.
- Establishing Flower 1: Repeat this individual petal 10 times around the ring, evenly spaced with no joins.
- Join-As-You-Go Method (Flowers 2+): Work petals as described above. Wherever a petal tip touches an already-placed neighboring daisy, work a sl st into the tip of the matching petal on the neighboring daisy partway through the petal, then complete it.
- Building the Field: Work outward in concentric rings or row-by-row, joining each new daisy at its petal tips until your field reaches approximately 200 cm × 220 cm.
Section 3: Small Bobble Flower Accent
(Make approximately 60, in cream)
- Foundation: Ch 2.
- Round 1: Work 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook. Do not join; work in a continuous spiral.
- Round 2: *bobble in next st, ch 1; rep from * around all 6 sts to form 6 small textured petals.
- FO leaving a short tail. Repeat for 60 accent flowers total to fill the open gaps between daisies.
Section 4: Finishing the Daisy Field
- Accent Placement: Tuck and tack the small cream bobble flower accents into the open gaps across the daisy field, distributing them evenly.
- Perimeter Border: With soft pink yarn, work a simple sc round around the entire outer perimeter to neaten the edge for draping over bedding.
Section 5: Pillow Sham Lattice Square
(Make 8 total: 4 per pillow front)
- Round 1 (Soft Pink): Ch 4, sl st to form a ring. Ch 3 (counts as first dc), 2 dc in ring, ch 2, *3 dc in ring, ch 2; rep from * 2 more times (4 corner groups total). Sl st to join, FO.
- Round 2 (Cream): Join at any corner. Work small bobble clusters spaced evenly around the perimeter, connected by ch-1 spaces, building the lattice base.
- Round 3 (Soft Pink): Work an open ch-2 mesh round connecting the bobble clusters diagonally across the square to form a crisp diamond grid.
- Round 4 (Cream): Corner-shaping round: ch 3, (2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in each corner sp, ch 1, 3 dc in each side sp; rep around. Sl st to join, FO leaving a long tail for assembly.
- Repeat for 8 lattice squares total.
Section 6: Pillow Sham Assembly
- Front Panels: Join 4 lattice squares into a 2×2 grid for each pillow front using an edge join through outer corners and ch-sps.
- Back Panels: Work a plain soft pink back panel for each pillow in solid dc rows matching the front panel dimensions.
- Joining: Whipstitch front and back panels together around 3 sides. Insert pillow forms (45 cm × 30 cm) and close the opening with crocheted ties or buttons.
Final Blocking & Finishing Touch
- Weave Ends: Securely weave in all starting and ending tails across the bedspread and shams.
- Steam-Blocking: Steam-block the bedspread flat, ensuring all open diamond gaps between daisies remain consistent. Block pillow fronts and backs before final assembly.
Expert Tips for Success
- Maintain Join Consistency: Always join daisy petals at the exact same point (the petal tips) to keep open spaces uniform.
- Monitor Shape: Lay your growing daisy field flat periodically to ensure it stays in a clean rectangular shape.
- Check Tension: Keep tension consistent across all 8 pillow lattice squares so they align perfectly during grid assembly.
- Pace Yourself: Take regular breaks to reduce wrist and eye strain during direct-join motifs.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How many daisies do I actually need for a bedspread this size?
You will need approximately 200 individual daisy motifs (with 200 cream bobble centers and pink petal rounds) for a standard Full/Queen bedspread (200 cm × 220 cm).
Why do the pillows use a different motif instead of matching the daisy bedspread exactly?
Using a geometric diamond lattice motif on the shams adds visual interest and structured balance. It coordinates with the bedspread through matching yarn colors without overwhelming the set with repeated floral motifs.
Will this bedspread feel too open or drafty without a solid background?
The joined-as-you-go daisy field combined with the 60 accent bobble flowers creates a thick, textured, and surprisingly warm fabric. However, you can easily sew a lightweight fabric backing behind the bedspread for extra warmth.
Can I make just the pillow shams without the full bedspread?
Yes! The lattice pillow shams make a gorgeous standalone project. You only need to make 8 lattice squares (4 per pillow front) and two solid pink back panels.
