Irish Melody

I have a lovely vintage bedspread crochet pattern for you today. It’s called Irish Melody. It sure is a pretty motif with an Irish Rose in the middle. It will certainly test your crocheting skills.

Pattern No. 6051

The pattern was taken from a Spool Cotton Company Book No. 166 titled Bedspreads to Knit and Crochet. Dated 1941 the Irish Melody is Pattern No. 6051 in the booklet.

Single or Double Bedspread

You can make this in a single or double size. The pattern uses J & P Coats Knit-Cro-Sheen and a steel No. 7 crochet hook.

Gauge: Each motif measures about 5 inches from one pc st edge to opposite edge, across center before blocking.

A single size spread measures about 70 x 105 inches and you’ll need 292 motifs made. For a double size spread the measurements are about 88 x 105 inches and you’ll need to make 370 motifs.

If you’d rather use this motif for a lap afghan or a pillow, you wouldn’t need to crochet as many.
