Meet your next favorite all around stitch: The Sedge Stitch! Perfect for those evenings when you just want to crochet away, enjoying your hobby without a lot of effort.
I seriously love a mindless crochet project. You know the kind I mean. When you memorize some simple little number and your hands on the hook just fly. Maybe you’re watching something fun on TV. Maybe you’re chatting it up with someone you love. But before you know it that THING you’re making just grows and grows. You just can’t beat that kind of satisfaction, I think.
The Sedge Stitch is the perfect stitch for that kinda project. Great for a sedge stitch baby blanket. Great for an all over afghan in a solid color or even using a fun ombre or cake yarn color way. Perfect for a pillow, a bag.. well just about ANYTHING really where mindless work meets beauty.

Sedge Stitch Crochet Tutorial
And what makes the Sedge Stitch so mindless you might ask? Well the easy repeat, of course! You need to know the simplest of stitches: chain, single crochet, half double and double crochet. And you’re off to your next favorite make!
Sedge Stitch Crochet
Here is what you will need:
- Any size hook. I used a US G6/4 mm crochet hook (Did you know you can purchase my go-to hooks on Amazon?)
- A yarn weight that works with your hook size. I used DK weight yarn.
- tapestry needle and scissors
Remember, you can make your swatch with any size hook and yarn weight. Read all about How to Swatch Here.
