EASY Crochet: Alternative Blanket Stitch For Baby Blankets, Afghans - ONE ROW REPEAT! Sedge Stitch

Learn how to crochet this VERY simple, easy, quick and beautiful crochet stitch - it's a lovely twist on the traditional Blanket Stitch, sometimes called the Sedge Stitch.
It's great for baby blankets, scarves, large afghans and more! The ONE ROW REPEAT aspect means that you can whip this one up without much trouble - a great one for beginners right through to the more advanced crocheter.
For the white baby blanket that I showed I'm using Stylecraft Bambino DK and a 4mm hook - I chained 128 + 3 for my blanket.
Shop Stylecraft Bambino here: bit.ly/3CjuML4
I'm using Scheepjes Chunky Monkey and a 6mm hook for the sample piece but you can use ANY yarn that you like and whatever hook size it recommends.

I really really love this pattern. I had a hard time starting bc I have adhd and kept forgetting how the pattern went so I restarted like 3 times but now I’m ready to start row 3 and it’s beautiful. ❤

[@BlossomCrochet]

I’m so glad that you’re enjoying your project and I’m sure it’ll be wonderful 🌸

[@amandabull6765]

Your tutorials are just brilliant. I find them so easy to follow. I’m just starting a new grey striped blanket in this pattern xx 😘

[@BlossomCrochet]

Wonderful! I’m so glad that you like them, thank you 💕

[@dinahf.1676]

I just love her videos. It takes me several tries at the blanket before I stop tearing my hair out, but her calm voice and clear instructions keep me sane. 🤣

[@lindafarebrother957]

This is beautiful and explained well enough for a beginner, thank you 😊

[@joannekingan2209]

Very lovely and simple stitch. Thank you very much. You are a very good teacher.

The stitch looks so beautiful in a solid color. What a gorgeous baby blanket

Lovely blanket stitch. I've been trying to find this, started it once then i lost this video and couldn't finish the blanket, so glad i found you again 😊❤

Lovely stich alternative for a baby blanket, and a very dense looking result. Thank you for this tutorial.

Very simple but very lovely stitch! Going to make a blanket with this in the new year. Thank you so much for sharing Rebekah 😃

[@missapippin9020]

It is a beautiful stitch. The blanket looks so pretty. A lovely simple stitch but so effective Thank you for the tutorial. ❤️

[@lolamoberg9141]

Thank you for this most appreciated lesson! I have been crocheting for 40 plus years and have never found a stitch pattern that I absolutely love as much as this. Also, your beginning of the row ch2 alternative stitch is amazing! I have avoided patterns that require ch2 starts because of the awkward edge it leaves. Now the edges are straight and perfect. My project is special because my 10 year old granddaughter asked me to make a white blanket for her. Much searching found your video and it has been saved as my only “favorite “.

[@samasonedderman]

I must say I've stolen most of your textured stitches and I am now the proud owner of a formidable number of face clothes! This one is just begging to become an oven pad of some sort! 1 row repeat, nice and thick.....it's on its knees really!🤣🤣. Happy and healthy New year. Stella

[@carolcoleman5710]

Love this pattern. You explain it so well.

[@darrinmckeehan5697]

Love this! A (city)bus driver asked me to make her daughter a blanket from yarn she (herself/the driver)tried making a lap blanket out of. But found that crocheting just isn't her forte. She brought me 3 large skeins of super chunky gray yarn, including the swatch that she started which was plenty long enough for a twin size spread. But I couldn't duplicate her stitch. So this will be it! She's fine with whatever I choose.

[@melissasamaniego8146]

I decided to use this video's stitch for my first blanket. Wish me luck! So far I'm on my 3rd row and it's pretty easy yo do and very clear directions. Easy to follow for a 2 month beginner at least.

This is a beautiful easy pattern, Its a yarn eater. I’m making a full size afghan and I don’t think 3, 1 pound skeins of Caron is going to be enough. Make sure to get plenty of yarn

Can you give number of stitches for blanket, can't seem to find it, only get your sample amount. Beautiful pattern, ghank you.

I love this stitch! I’m making a blanket for my daughter and her colors are grey and black. I was planning on using the black as a border. Do you have any suggestions on which border might look good with this stitch? Thank you for your tutorials I enjoy watching and learning from you. I’m still a beginner and you’re one of the great teachers! Thank you! 🧶

[@BlossomCrochet]

Thank you so much, how lovely of you to say ☺️ Your blanket sounds beautiful, if you’re wanting to keep it quite simple then I’d definitely suggest a Moss Stitch Border but if you’re thinking something a little more ‘fancy’ then maybe a Cluster Wave Border. I’ll pop both tutorials below 🌸 kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y37Jinqhd9Seo68 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpmzg3uBg96gnLc

[@ritakane4100]

@@BlossomCrochet thank you I can’t wait to watch both tutorials! I’m leaning towards a simple border so moss stitch it is! 🤗

[@iamthediz]

i may be setting myself up to fail, but do you think you can change colour mid row and use the clusters for "pixels" in letters?

[@Pitoonya]

So every row begins with 2 uk trebles (2 u.s. doubles) and ends in 1 uk double (1 u.s. single)? And starting ch is any even number +3 at the end no matter what size yarn we use? Is that all correct? I love this stitch so much. Thank you Rebeka

Yes, you are correct.

[@EE-in7su]

Would this stitch work AT ALL for something like a temperature blanket? or because of all the dipping into the row below, would the effect get really lost?

[@BlossomCrochet]

Personally, I think it would work well with changing colours each row 🌸💗

[@EE-in7su]

@@BlossomCrochet Thank you for the feedback! I think if it switched every row, it would, too! The problem is, I'll likely have chunks of the same color in a row because the days' highs were all in the same range ... and then have one random one in a different range and then back down...

Just wondering, how many balls did you use for baby blanket and what size is the finished blanket with your starting chain amount? X K

I used 3.5 balls of the Bambino dk and my finished blanket (including border) measures 32x24 inches. It’s just a basket/travel blanket size 🌸
