Green and White Spiral Disc Bedspread

Hypnotic green-and-white spirals that spin right across the bed. Each round disc winds forest green and crisp white out from the centre, finished with a little sunburst of raised loops, and the discs sit side by side so the whole cover looks like a sea of swirling pinwheels. It is a show-stopping make — bold, graphic, and deeply satisfying once you find the rhythm of the two-colour spiral.

About this design

Each motif is a two-colour spiral disc worked in the round with both colours carried at once, each colour building its own set of raised stitches so the green and white swirls interlock. A spoke/ray round gives the radiating sunburst you can see at the edge of every disc, and a picot-scallop round both finishes the disc and joins it to its neighbours as you go. Small picot bridges fill the little gaps where four round discs meet, so the bedspread reads as one continuous swirl.

Pro tips for a flawless finish

The spiral comes from working two colours at the same time, each one advancing over its OWN previous-colour stitches — never cross a colour into the other’s arm or the swirl turns to mud. Keep both spirals turning the same way on every single disc, or the pattern won’t flow across the joins. Let the two balls hang on opposite sides and give them a quarter-turn untwist each round to stop tangles. Block every disc to the same diameter before joining.

Blocking & finishing

Wet-block each disc flat over a round template to the same diameter and pin the picot loops so the sunburst opens. Let dry fully before joining. After the whole top is joined, give it one gentle steam to settle the seams and the little filler bridges.

How to style it at home

Lay it over a white sheet so the open loops let the white peek through, add a couple of matching spiral pillow shams and keep the rest of the room simple — the swirls are the whole show, exactly like the photo.

The full written pattern — materials, round-by-round instructions, abbreviations, FAQ and troubleshooting — is all right here on this page, 100% free. This is an advanced make, so take it one disc at a time, keep the swirl direction consistent, block as you go, and enjoy the rhythm. When you finish you will have an heirloom-quality piece that looks like it came from a boutique.

It's a graphic showstopper — the interlocking green-and-white spirals look impossible, yet it's one disc repeated. Bold, hypnotic, and unmistakably handmade.

Try navy + white for a nautical spin, black + cream for modern drama, or two close greens for a softer, tonal swirl.

Amigurumi (Japanese: ami = knitted/crocheted + nuigurumi = stuffed toy) is the craft of making small crocheted characters. You start with a magic ring, work in continuous spiral rounds of single crochet, and shape the piece through increases and decreases — no seams, no joins, no turning.

The magic ring creates a closable centre with no hole. Wrap yarn around two fingers, insert the hook, yarn over and pull through. Work your first round into this ring, then pull the tail to close tight. Practise a few times — it becomes effortless quickly.

The invisible decrease — insert your hook through the front loop only of the first stitch, then the front loop only of the second stitch. Yarn over, pull through both loops, then yarn over again and pull through the remaining two. Working through front loops only makes the decrease blend into the fabric instead of leaving a bump.

Tension matters most. Amigurumi needs tight, firm tension so stuffing can't show through. If you can see white fiberfill peeking between your stitches, go down one hook size. The fabric should feel dense and firm — like a tightly woven canvas, not a loose net.
