Crochet Sedge Stitch Tutorial

Materials:

• A 4.5 mm crochet hook
• Yarn (used in the tutorial was 'big twist yarn in the color coral')

Pattern Instructions:

Starting Chain:

• Create a slip knot and then chain a multiple of 3. For the example, chain 24. (To chain, yarn over and pull through the loop already on your hook.)

Row 1:

Start in the second chain from the hook with a half double crochet (HDC): Yarn over, insert hook into the second chain, pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through all three loops on the hook.

• In the same chain, work a double crochet (DC): Yarn over, insert into the same chain, pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through two loops, yarn over and pull through two loops.
• Skip the next two chains.
• In the third chain, start with a single crochet (SC): Insert hook, pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through both loops.
• In the same chain, work a HDC and then a DC.
• Continue the pattern: skip 2 chains, in the next chain work [SC, HDC, DC] until you get to the end of the row.
• When you have 4 chains left, skip 2 chains. In the third chain, work an SC, HDC, and end with a DC.
• In the very last chain, work a SC to finish the row.
• Chain 1 to turn and start the next row.

Row 2:

Work a HDC into the SC space directly below the chain 1 from the previous row.

• In the same SC, work a DC.
• Skip the stitches of the HDC and DC from the previous row, then work into the next SC [SC, HDC, DC].
• Repeat the pattern across: Skip the next two stitches, work into the SC [SC, HDC, DC].
• Continue until the end of the row.
• To complete the row, skip to the next SC and work an SC, then chain 1 to turn.

Subsequent Rows:

• Repeat Row 2 for as many rows as desired for your project.
• Each SC should have a cluster of SC, HDC, and DC worked into it from the previous row.

Finishing the Project:

• When you get to your desired length, finish off by cutting the yarn, pulling the hook up and out of the loop, and pulling tight.
• Secure the end with a knot if necessary.
• Weave in any remaining ends to clean up your work.
