About This Lavender and Purple Rose Hexagon Bedspread
Purple roses in a honeycomb of lavender hexagons. Each one holds a layered deep purple rose with little mint green leaves and an open window round, and six-sided motifs fit together with no gaps to fill. It is a dreamy, colourful bedspread that is easier than it looks.
About this design
The hexagon starts with a light lilac centre, then a layered deep purple rose with an inner ring of petals and six big rounded outer petals. Six pairs of mint leaves sit between the petals, a round of chain windows opens up the lace, and solid lavender rounds square it into a hexagon. The hexagons join edge to edge in a honeycomb.
Pro tips for a flawless finish
Change colour on the last pull-through of the previous stitch so each round starts clean. Make the outer rose petals in the back loops of the inner round so they stand up. Join hexagons in strips first, then join the strips – it keeps the honeycomb straight.
Blocking & finishing
Block each hexagon to the same size with a hexagon template – it makes joining much easier.
How to style it at home
Lilac and white pillows, a matching hexagon sham and a vase of purple flowers finish the look.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them 🔧
Too few corner increases. Make sure all 6 corners get (2 dc, ch 2/3, 2 dc).
Too many sts per side. Count each side after Rnd 8.
Outer loops worked in front loops. Use the back loops of Rnd 2.
Joined in random order. Join strips first, then the strips together.

Assembly & Finishing Tips
💡 Weaving in ends
Use a tapestry needle to weave each tail back and forth through at least 5–6 stitches in different directions. A tiny dot of washable glue on the final stitch before trimming adds extra security for toys used by children.
💡 Sewing pieces together
Pin each piece firmly to the body before sewing. Use mattress stitch for the most invisible join — insert the needle under the same yarn bar on alternating pieces and pull firmly. Knot securely at start and end, weave both tails deep into the body.
💡 Positioning safety eyes
Take time here — eye spacing determines the character's entire personality. Closer eyes look more intense; further apart looks more friendly and playful. Pin both positions and step back before snapping the backs on permanently. Once snapped, eyes cannot be moved without damaging the fabric.
💡 Blocking
Not required for amigurumi, but lightly steam-blocking any warped pieces will relax the fibres. Hold a steam iron a few centimetres away — never let it touch the stuffing or safety eyes directly.
💡 Care instructions
Handwash in cool water with mild detergent, press gently to remove excess water, lay flat to dry. Many acrylic yarns are machine washable on a gentle cycle in a laundry bag — always check your yarn label.
⚠️ Important Notes
- Use stitch markers at the start of every round — don't rely on memory to count.
- Work with consistent tension throughout. Gauge swatch before starting if in doubt.
- Fasten off leaving long tails for sewing — at least 30cm for each piece you'll need to attach.
- Pin and check positioning of all pieces before sewing any of them permanently.
Beginner's Guide to Amigurumi 🌱
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.

You Ask, We Answer ❓
They fit together like a honeycomb with no gaps, and the six-sided shape makes a rose look natural.
Fill the gaps along the edges with half hexagons before the border.
Yes – lavender and purple alone look lovely; leave the leaves in purple or lavender.
About 120 for a queen, 70 for a single, 25 for a throw.
