For those who are not in the know, I inform you that in February of this year, the project “Spread for the Year” was opened on the blog, the purpose of which was to crochet a bedspread for a long time. The key word in this phrase is to connect, i.e. finish the job...

After all, it is no secret that many (and I am no exception) sometimes accumulate a whole bunch of under-tie (unfinished products), which is very difficult to bring to its logical conclusion. And the main reason for the accumulation of untied products, in my opinion, is that we just get tired of knitting this or that thing, it bothers us, because. the knitting process is by no means fast, and the thing becomes uninteresting to us.

And so I thought that if you plan your work in such a way that it would not be stressful to complete it and not get bored.

Here's what I planned...

Now I'm very happy - my plan worked! Here it is - my cover! Perhaps some of you will need this experience ...

How to crochet a bedspread in a year - the story of my knitting

So, for the bedspread, it was decided to knit only 9 motifs per month (they are quite large), i.e. 2-3 motives per weekend ...

Believe me, 2-3 motives in two days is very little ...

Experienced knitters can easily crochet such a bedspread in a couple of weeks ...

But, since I do not trade in needlework, I am in no hurry.

In addition, “against the background of knitting this large product”, completely different products will be born that will diversify my knitting ...

And another important detail ... I announced on the blog that I would not only crochet a bedspread from motifs, but I would, from time to time, report on the work done.

This announcement was a good motivator. Because I gave my word to my readers - it is necessary to fulfill ...

At first things were a little tricky...

Having connected somewhere around 18 motifs, in a sinful deed, I thought about abandoning the idea of ​​​​crocheting a bedspread and wanted to switch to something smaller (for example) ...

But, somehow, suddenly, unexpectedly for myself, for a month I forgot about this desire and connected 9 more motives ...

It turned out 27 - a lot for a pillow, and 27 motives - this is almost a third of my knitted bedspread ...

And immediately everything fell into place, i.e. it became clear that "the bedspread to be!"

And I also often laid out related motifs and admired them ... imagining what beauty would turn out in the end, and this also helped in my work)))

How to knit a blanket from square motifs

It took me a lot of thread to knit this product ...

And, to my shame, again I can’t say exactly how much ...

The fact is that yarn is now expensive ...

Even the simplest thread, in such volumes, does not look cheap at all. Therefore, I ran to buy more yarn three times, probably, or even four ...

And in the end, I just lost count...

I can only say that for the crocheted bedspread I needed the yarn "Spark" of the Trinity factory in the amount of about two kilograms

• Yellow - about 500 gr.
• Orange - about 500 gr.
• Dark brown - about 700 gr.
• Light brown - about 300 gr.

and hook number 4

Speaking of hooks...

Durable and practical!

Knitted bedspread consists of 88 square motifs with a flower in the middle, crocheted according to the pattern

A detailed description of the knitting of this motif can be found in the article.

In the same article, by the way, a promise was made to crochet the bedspread in a year.

I also recommend that you look at the article, it describes how to hide the threads in the process of knitting. It is better to do this right away ... otherwise, the final stage of knitting the bedspread (assembly) can drag on for a very long time ...

A rectangle with sides of 8 * 11 (motives) is sewn from the connected motifs and tied around the perimeter with one row of single crochet posts (in the corner of RLS + VP + RLS) and one row of connecting posts for the back slice of the loop - I really like this technique, it gives the edge knitted product complete and neat look.

We connect the motifs in a bedspread

One of the important questions seemed to be the question of how to sew motifs for the bedspread ...

Moreover, I wanted to connect the motifs in such a way that no seams were visible either from the front or from the wrong side of the product.

After several experiments of connecting in different ways, I again settled on crocheting motifs using connecting posts.

Why? The answer is simple ... Simple, fast, excellent appearance, there is a seam, but it is flat, in short, everything suits me ...

How to crochet square motifs with connecting posts - Master class

It turns out a flat connecting seam

1. Further, similarly, as described in paragraph 2, we attach, tie and sew the third square motif

Let me remind you that all this is done without breaking the thread.

But the fourth motive cannot be attached in this way, so we tie it separately and sew it in according to the principle described in paragraph 3, but only two faces at once

1. In total, 20 such large squares were sewn. These squares can be immediately sewn into 4 strips of 5 pieces, and then connected and sewn along the narrow side of the bedspread with another strip sewn from 8 squares ...

That's the whole story about how I knitted for almost a year ... and, most importantly, crocheted a bedspread ...

P.S. Friends, I really liked this experience ... In short, I want to stir up ... It remains to choose what exactly I will knit)))

There are several different ways to knit:

• a single canvas;
• from square motifs;
• from triangular motifs;
• stripes and zigzags;
• from the center, etc.

We knit with a single cloth - this is the longest and most difficult way in our opinion. An adult bedspread is knitted in a large size, for example 1.5 * 2 m, or even more. At first, you will not falsely move from place to place with such knitting, but the more it becomes, the more difficult it is to take work with you on the road. And if you need to knit from different balls? In addition to the product, you will also have to carry a large supply of threads. So knitting in a single fabric is acceptable if you do not plan to knit outside the home.

How much easier it is to knit with motives. Usually the motive for the bedspread does not exceed 10-20 cm in length / width. It is convenient to take such work with you and knit on the road, in the clinic, in the subway, while you are expecting a child from the section and on a walk. But the motto of a knitter is to knit every free minute of time. In addition, you can use leftovers from different glomeruli.

The advantages of knitting from motives are obvious. Although there are a couple of small but significant disadvantages - the threads will have to be constantly cut off and, as a result, the motifs will be sewn into a single canvas.

As you can see, there is no perfect method for knitting a bedspread.

Look for patterns you like, buy threads for them and knit the largest and most beautiful bedspread. It will decorate your home, and for you it will become a symbol of labor and patience, because not everyone is able to crochet such a big thing - a bedspread!

I knitted a sample from the yarn that I found at home. But she's a little rough. I advise you to take a thinner yarn for the bedspread, which contains acrylic. For example, Turkish Alize, then the consumption of yarn will be more economical.
According to my calculations, it may take about 2.5 kg of yarn approximately, maybe a little less or a little more.

And then in each front row I began to make decreases at the beginning and at the end of the row, until one st. remains. I'm not a very good artist .... I drew a diagram up to 9 st. wide, but I did increase to a width of 17 st, and then make reductions ....

Plaid is always associated with home comfort and warmth. Why not tie it with your own hands? Believe me, this is not difficult!

Plaid is always associated with home comfort and warmth. On a cold day, it is so nice to cover yourself with a blanket or wrap your frozen feet with it.

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

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

A blanket can cover your bed in the bedroom. 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 hide behind it without dismantling the bed. A plaid is sometimes used not as a cover, but as an addition to it.

A neatly folded handmade throw 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. In a pair of blankets, you can pick up or make sofa cushions. The plaid can also be in the tone of the furniture - so it will not catch the eye, as an addition to textiles or carpet.

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

What can you knit a blanket from?

You can knit a blanket from woolen, cotton and acrylic threads, or a combination of these threads.

In the latter case, the blanket will be not only 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 in itself and will not warm like natural.

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

For the ethnic design of a room - a bedroom or a living room, plaids with a bright national ornament of cheerful colors will be good. For a classic interior, an elegant, discreet plaid made of cotton or linen yarn in natural colors with a geometric pattern or embossed patterns is more suitable. You can decorate the plaid with a fringe, a deliberately “disheveled” edge or “tassels”.

Knitted bedspread in the interior. Fashion trends 2019-2020

A knitted bedspread made of square motifs is in trend today! This universal thing is in harmony with different interiors, but at the initial stage of its creation, you need to correctly select the pattern and colors.

In minimalism and modernity, a veil of discreet shades and not pronounced texture is relevant. Cotton or synthetic yarn will do.

In the interior of Provence, boho, country, patchwork blankets decorated with fringe and floral motifs look great.

Classics require luxury and grandeur. Intricate intricate patterns with the addition of silver and gold, beads - this is what a classic luxury plaid is.

Loft suggests conciseness and restraint. The plaid should be monochrome and discreet in shades.

Plaids crochet. A photo

And crocheted covers can be called a very popular trend in needlework. There are several benefits to this type of work. First of all, this is the obvious ease of making the fabric, as well as great freedom of action in choosing yarn, its color and texture.

A crocheted bedspread can be designed 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

What's great about creativity is that you can make something out of nothing. This fully applies to the manufacture of bedspreads. How many craftswomen exist, so many options for the execution of this product. However, you can list a few of the most common types of bedspreads that are available for crochet:

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

Other types of bedspreads can have a square, round or oval shape. They are knitted from cotton (in the case of using an openwork pattern, a crocheted bedspread), woolen or half-woolen 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. Crochet square bedspread patterns are very diverse. They are also suitable for making up a fabric from fragments, and for knitting one large square.

Do not be afraid that the schemes of squares have no more than 20 rows. They can be very easily adapted to your needs, for example by repeating several openwork or solid rows as many times as necessary. You can use rows from more than just one schema. The beauty of this technique is that all circular rows in square patterns are designed with 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 monitor the balance of colors. The photo above is a great example of good color matching. Two colors of the same tone (blue and green) are used here, light green and white, which gives them all contrast and brightness.

Blanket knitted in one piece

Literally every craftswoman will master such work. All that is needed is to make the correct calculations and make sure that there is enough yarn. Next, you should dial the required number of loops and knit according to the selected pattern until the fabric of the required size is obtained.

The only subtlety in doing such work is maintaining a smooth edge. The formation of an accidental reduction or addition of the web must not be allowed.

Crocheted bedspread from squares: working with motifs

A square or rectangular bedspread, consisting of several dozen fragments, always looks very impressive. For many households and guests of the house, the huge amount of work that the craftswoman did is obvious.

Square crochet bedspread patterns can be found literally everywhere, and it’s not necessary to use the old classic patterns. They are already, frankly, tired of everyone. 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 brag about his photos on social networks!

The diagrams below offer patterns for knitting bedspreads.

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

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

Connection of motives

The stage that completes the crocheting of the bedspread is the assembly of the stripped fragments. This can be done with a needle or crochet. It is highly not recommended to knit motifs in the process of knitting the last row. Quite often you have to adjust the shape or size of the fragments, especially if they are made in 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 complete look.
