Friendship Knot Bedspread Free Crochet Pattern

From the 1930s, this design is fashioned after the Friendship Knot
Quilt. A great old pattern that uses good old bedspread weight cotton
thread, also known as size 10. The finished size of spread this pattern
makes is not noted (perhaps double bed size). You can make one square
and figure how many you need for the size spread or throw you want to
make.

size 7 steel crochet hook
