This pattern consists of triangles, four of which crocheted together from a square. Seven squares each way or forty nine squares complete a good sized bedspread. The triangles are crocheted together by sc (UK double crochet) and 1ch after each single crochet. The squares are crocheted together with a sc omitting the chain. The pattern consists of four leaves in the centre in each square. Then there are a few rows of open work and ridges of purl knitting, and the squares are bordered by a row of leaves.
Materials
No 10 knitting cotton and 3.25mm -3.75mm needles.

Thank you very much. Dipti Ray
Where are assembly instructions and wtitten instructions for borders???
The assembly instructions from this antique pattern are in the text straight under the photo.
You can find a large number of edgings to choose from in the collection of edging and insertion patterns.
I don’t see how much yardage I need to complete this bedspread. I would like to make a queen size. Any suggestions?
It depends on what thickness of yarn you use. I would make a test motif and work it out using that.
Thank you, I will do that
Thank You very much . Margaret
