Notes
- Swatch Tutorial: This tutorial focuses on creating a stitch swatch. If you're looking to make a full project such as a washcloth, scarf, or other items, you may need to adjust your starting chain length accordingly. I make my crochet grit stitch tutorial into a washcloth.
- Yarn Weight: This pattern works with any yarn weight. However, it's recommended to avoid using specialty textured yarns, as they may obscure the stitch definition and details.
- Stitch Technique: The stitch technique requires you to crochet multiple stitches into one stitch and skip certain stitches as part of the pattern. This creates a textured and visually appealing design. If you decide to adjust the starting chain for a larger project, be sure to use a multiple of 3 stitches. This ensures the pattern works correctly and maintains its structure.
Instructions
- This pattern is made in rows.
- Row 1: Ch x21 and turn (or any multiple of 3).
- Row 2: In the second chain from the hook, work 1 hdc and 1 dc into one stitch.
- *Then skip 2 chains. In the next chain, work a sc, hdc, and dc into one stitch.
- Repeat from * for the rest of the row. When there is only 1 ch left, work a sc into the final ch and then ch x1 and turn. The ch x1 at the end is the turning chain to help turn your work, do not work in this chain).
- Row 3: Repeat row 2 but in the tops of stitches instead of the beginning chains.
- Then ch x1 and turn.
- Row 4 and onwards: Repeat row 3 until the desired length for the project has been reached.
- Now you know how to create the crochet sedge stitch! It’s a versatile and beautiful technique that can be used in various projects. Whether you’re making a cozy scarf, a soft washcloth, or something entirely different, the sedge stitch adds texture and interest to any design. I’m excited to see what you create with this stitch!
