1. Sunflower Bedspread Pattern

The image showcases a queen-sized sunflower crochet bedspread draped naturally over a simple oak bed in a minimalist cottagecore bedroom with whitewashed walls, a single potted lavender on the nightstand, and sheer linen curtains. Extreme close-ups (macro lens style) reveal the textured popcorn stitches forming sunflower petals in golden yellow, burnt orange, and chocolate brown, with emerald green leaves and tiny black French knots for seeds. A mirrored reflection on a polished brass tray on the bed catches the weave’s details from another angle. The lighting is soft, golden-hour natural daylight, casting gentle shadows that highlight the bedspread’s three-dimensional, artisan-handmade texture while the background remains in creamy soft-focus bokeh. Subtle yarn fuzz and microscopic thread imperfections emphasize authenticity.
