While making crocheted items is often associated with homely, comfortable places like Grandma’s cottage or the nursery in your parents’ home, elegance is an often overlooked aspect. Therefore, we’d like to show you some very elegant bedspread ideas that will definitely shed new light on just how fancy crocheted items can be. Thus, each of these projects was selected to be a show stopper and centerpiece for any room you put one in. Nevertheless, they are also workable projects that may require some advanced techniques. However, they are well documented so that you can develop these skills as you go.
Elegant Sophie Universe Bedspread
Don’t you think this elegant square bedspread looks familiar? It’s Sophie Universe Blanket and I’m sure you have seen it before. This beautiful pattern shows how much you can do with a pattern by varying the colors and yarns. This beautiful blanket would be a masterful centerpiece of any bedroom, or simply a great cover to cozy up with on a cold winter’s evening. It’s just challenging enough to keep an advanced crocheter entertained, and just easy enough to get a beginner to up their game and advance in the craft. It’s one of those patterns everyone has to try

This elegant square bedspread is an absolutely stunning piece of crocheting. In fact, it is one of the most visually amazing throws that I’ve seen. Moreover, it also has one of the most astounding textures as well.

Marguerite Bedspread Free Crochet Pattern
Of course, classically styled projects don’t have to be done using the granny stripe, and monochrome projects have always been a thing. See below for a very traditional and vintage bedspread. This one is made using hexagonal panels with a flower rosette in the center. The texture is very rich owing to the highly relieved flower and hexagon borders. This too will be a great project for your next blanket/bedspread.

Tree of Life Free Crochet Pattern
If you like the granny crochet, but a plain one is just too… well… plain, the Tree of Life Afghan is a possible way out. This one has a strongly displayed theme that is visibly raised above the background of the blanket. Not everything has to be done in a modernist minimalist chic. Sometimes a little more really is a lot more.

Hello. Your Sophie is absolutely beautiful. I love the extra rows and blocks you have put on to make her bigger. I recently finished my own Sophie and I call her Sophie meets Frida Kahlo, as she is VERY colourful (done in recycled cotton). I am very blessed to have met Dedri Uys’s mom a year and a half ago and we have become firm friends – she is just as talented as Dedri, as are all her sisters and her mother – the apple does not fall far from the tree as they say 🙂 . I wish you hours of Happy Hooking – yarn love from South Africa xx
