delicate lacy white bedspread !

This is a gorgeous, delicate, lacy, fine white hand crocheted bedspread in what appears to be a pinwheel pattern.  This is one of my favorite bedspread  because it is so feminine, dainty and lacy.  It reminds us of a delicate spider web. The threads on this piece are very fine and the stitches very tiny & it would also look lovely on a tea party table.

Assembly and finishing

Place one hexagon in the center of six hexagons and join all six sides to the central hexagon to the facing side of the surrounding hexagons with a single crochet join with 2sc in each corner space.

Using the same sc join each side of the hexagons together to its adjacent. The hexagons will begin to curl inward as the second side is joined.

For a neat join, incorporate the edging color in your 2sc corner joins.

The remaining hexagon is joined in the same way as the first. Insert the cotton casing, stuff with polyester fiberfill and sew the seam, before completing the join.
