Victorian Bedspread
Knit this Victorian-style bedspread in heavy white cotton yarn… The bedspread is knitted in squares, and you will need to make four of the following motifs to complete one whole pattern. The motifs are stitched together after pinning out and blocking, then the simple ribbed edging is attached.
Materials
White cotton yarn, approx. 3- to 4-ply light fingering to fingering wt.
Pair of 3.25 mm knitting needles
Tapestry needle
Pins
No yardage amount or gauge swatch information is provided in pattern.
Measurements
Each square motif measures approximately 15 cm (6 inches) on the original bedspread, and the complete pattern is made up of four motifs arranged so that four single leaves touch at the centre. The double size bedspread shown here is made from 168 motifs joined in 12 strips of 14 motifs, and the edging is knitted in four overlapping sections.
