Dextrous fingers that ply three or four knitting pins choose this charming flower-like design that starts in the center and works out into the hexagonal block. Knitted bedspreads are light in weight and soft to handle.

   A knitted bedspread is unusual in itself, but for the woman who prefers to knit, this checkerboard design offers a simple and pleasing idea. A knitted spread can give a very solid effect without having the weight that a similar design in crochet would entail.
