Openwork bedspread made from crocheted wool scraps

If you have a wool coat lying around, try turning it into an openwork bedspread. Instead of wool, you can use fleece or thin felt.

In addition to the fabric, you will need a crochet hook and yarn. The yarn can match the color of the fabric or be a contrasting shade – it all depends on your preference.

Prepare circular pieces from the fabric. You can use a plate or a pot lid as a template for this.

Determine the necessary quantity yourself, based on the fabric you have and the planned size of the finished bedspread.

The next step is edging the pieces. It is easiest to pierce the fabric and pull the yarn through using a thin crochet hook. Therefore, we use a size 1 hook.

Work a round of single crochet stitches. It is better to make two or even three stitches in each hole.

Then, work another row of stitches. You can use a thicker hook for this – it will be faster and more convenient.

Now let's start working the pattern to join the motifs into a single piece. To do this, work a double crochet, then a picot of 4 chain stitches, another double crochet, and two chain stitches.

Continue edging the entire circle with this fragment (two double crochets with picots, two chain stitches). However, do this only for one piece. When edging the others, join them to the other circles at the picots.

Make this connection at three picots.

We will crochet the openwork insert separately. Join three chain stitches and work twelve double crochets into them.

Then, crochet petals onto this center. Work 12 petals of 8 stitches each.

When working the petals, join the insert to the edged circles immediately – three on each side.

The result is a very beautiful piece!
