Crochet a Bedspread with a Checkered Diamond Filet Crochet Design

After you've crocheted the main part of the bedspread, you'll want to add a pretty border too.

Make a Bedspread with the Criss Cross Thread Crochet Granny Square Pattern

As far as bedspreads go, about the easiest one to make uses a simple granny square pattern as the basis for your design.

The first step is to crochet a bunch of squares using the granny square pattern of your choice. Then you would join them using a whip stitch or another joining technique to create the main body of your bedspread.

In the end, you'd add a gorgeous edging to complete the look.

This little granny is a bit different than many of the granny square designs you see around. The motif in the center resembles a cross, hence the name. This square is best-suited to making bedspreads, but you also can use it for other purposes.
