About This Pink and Cream Star Lattice Flower Bedspread
No granny squares at all here – just plump pink puff flowers, each held in a little cream star, linked together with long chains into a starry lace. A wide filet-mesh border frames the whole bedspread. It is light, romantic and looks beautiful over a white sheet.
About this design
Each motif is a layered pink flower with two rounds of puff petals around an open centre, surrounded by a cream six-point star of chain loops. Join-as-you-go turns the star points into long chain spokes, so the motifs link into a triangle-and-star lattice. Once the centre is the size you want, a wide cream filet border and a scalloped hem finish it off.
Pro tips for a flawless finish
Use two shades of pink, or just pull the puffs a little longer on the second layer, so the petals look layered. Keep the chain spokes the same length every time – that is what makes the lattice look even. Lay the motifs out on the bed as you go to check the layout.
Blocking & finishing
Spray-block the finished lattice on the bed or on the floor over towels, pinning the border straight. The star lattice opens up beautifully once blocked.
How to style it at home
Put it over a white or blush sheet so the lattice shows, with pink pillows and a cushion made from four motifs.

Too many dc per side. Work 1 mesh over every 3 sts.
Joined at the wrong point. Lay out the layout on the bed as you go.

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 ❓
Join as you go on the cream star round – sl st into the neighbour's point instead of making a separate seam.
Yes. Two shades make the layers stand out, but one shade still looks lovely.
About 150 for a queen, 90 for a single, 30 for a throw.
No – it is plain filet mesh, a relaxing finish after all the motifs.
