Bedspread pattern for crochet thread
I am currently making a queen sized bed spread in crochet thread and am not overly fond of the pattern I am using. I have two dogs that will be on the bed from time to time and need a pattern that is closely made. I am thinking the less "holes" there are in the pattern the less chance of the dogs nails catching on the bed spread. This spread will take too long and too much effort to have the dogs ruin it.
If anyone knows of a pattern that would be of interest I would love to see it. I am currently making the pattern that can be found here: About.com: Attic24: Hexagon How-to.
I have already purchased over 300 balls of thread and have used about six balls in this above pattern and am joining the hexagons as I make them so that I will not have to go back and join them after I make countless little hexagons. The work that I have done looks good but is not quite the look I wanted and as I have already said, I have not found the pattern that I am looking for.
I find crochet to be relaxing and is generally something that I tend to do early in the morning with my coffee -- you know before I really start the day and again at night after supper while we sit back and enjoy the evening either watching TV or sitting outside enjoying the warm Arizona weather (the sunsets in Arizona are stellar!).

Thank you for reading this introduction and request.
