Hour-Glass Bedspread Pattern

Materials: Many lovely threads may be used for this spread, such as Star Crochet Cord, De Luxe or Gem Crochet and Knitting Cotton, and with these, use a set of 5 steel knitting needles No. 11. As these threads come in many lovely tones, a color to harmonize with the color scheme would be different and unusual.
