Sedge Stitch Tutorial (Crochet 101 Series)

[@chrissiewindsor]

I really love the Sedge stitch! It’s wonderful for baby blankets, lapghans, throws and even a full size bed cover.

[@AmandaCrochets]

I agree, a very fun stitch!

[@cindysmith1494]

Amanda, thank you for showing how up work this stitch. The texture is wonderful and I look forward to using this stitch. Nice job in demonstrating. You make it look so easy.

[@AmandaCrochets]

[@suebroomhead4628]

Excelent video. Well explained and very easy to follow!

[@AmandaCrochets]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@linedanzer4302]

This is a beautiful, yet easy stitch and great for making a scarf out of most weights and fibers of yarn. Plus you can veg out in front of the television or yack away with a friend without having to count. Thank you for your great breakdown and demo! *~New Subscriber*

[@AmandaCrochets]

You're very welcome! I agree, it is an easy stitch to just sit back with while creating a beautiful design. Thanks for subscribing!

[@tawnypelt]

Oh i love this stitch thank you for such a clear tutorial!! im new to crocheting and im using this video right now to try and make a cardigan, but im struggling on figuring out how to increase or decrease with this stitch! does anyone have any advice?

[@AmandaCrochets]

You are so welcome! I’ve never increased/decreased with this stitch before, so it’s hard to say, but I would imagine you make 2 sets of stitches in one to increase and crochet two sets of stitches together to decrease.

[@lisastreasures]

Very pretty. Ty

[@AmandaCrochets]

You’re welcome!

[@remedy9648]

Great tutorial, this is one of my favorites too. I've used it for a few sweaters with great results. Just don't try to say "sedge stitch" 10 times fast! 💜🙏🏻💜

[@AmandaCrochets]

Vicky Dee haha I know what you mean. That’s why I stumbled a few times in the video as it can be a tongue twister! Thanks for watching!

[@remedy9648]

Amanda Crochets you're welcome, it's my pleasure to learn from you! You are far from the only one who has trouble saying sedge stitch, every tutorial it's an issue and I don't attempt it anymore cause I just massacre it every time! Have a great day💜🌸😎

[@AmandaCrochets]

Vicky Dee thanks for your kind words and thanks for watching! 😊

[@vickidanieley1669]

Thank you Amanda for sharing this stitch. You mentioned the blanket stitch, is there a KZbin on that also?

[@AmandaCrochets]

Yes of course! If you search my channel and type in blanket stitch, it should pop up 😊

[@ramonakearns2101]

This stitch is deceiving, it looks hard. But you've explained it so well. I'm going to try it for my next project. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@AmandaCrochets]

You're welcome! It does look hard, but it's quite easy once broken down. I'm working on a blanket using this stitch now. I love it! Good luck!

[@mDiago6200]

This is beautiful! I want to make a throw with this stitch, any yarn recommendations?

[@AmandaCrochets]

mDiago 6200 thank you! I would recommend hobby lobby I love this yarn, red heart with love, and red heart soft.

[@mDiago6200]

Amanda Crochets Thank you.

[@AmandaCrochets]

mDiago 6200 you’re welcome!

[@phyllisisaac6900]

Phyllis Isaac that’s great! Hope you’re enjoying the stitch just as much as I am.

[@alimoore589]

Thank you

[@AmandaCrochets]

You're welcome!

[@laurathunder4388]

I love this pattern! It makes very lovely wash Claus if you use Hobby Lobby I love this cotton and a g hook.:-)

[@AmandaCrochets]

Great idea!!

[@sueduncan4256]

Can the sedge stitch (red heart yarn) be used for a baby blanket? Thanks Amanda

[@AmandaCrochets]

Yes! I’ve made many blankets using this stitch! One of my favorites 😊

[@leepyloops]

I want to start a blanket! I’m a semi beginner. Is the chain I begin with length or width 😆 I want the blanket to be about 45-50 inches long.

[@AmandaCrochets]

Great! Typically the chain is the width of your blanket. You will love this stitch! You can check out my blanket I made using this stitch here: www.amandacrochets.com/sedge-stitch-baby-blanket/

[@robynwhite9226]

Can this be made on a circle?

[@AmandaCrochets]

Yes I don’t see why not!

[@irenehermosillo8629]

I really like this stitch. I am planning to make a throw for an adult Grandson. About how many stitches wide? And how many skeins of a size 4 100 grams yarn will I be needing? Anybody? Can you help??? Thanks Very much appreciated

[@AmandaCrochets]

I really like using this website for making my blankets a certain size: thecrochetcrowd.com/afghan-calculator/. All you need is the yarn you want to use and the crochet hook and follow the instructions for the size you want. I hope that helps you! Good luck 😊🧶

[@Sadie4122]

How do you change colors with this stitch?

[@AmandaCrochets]

To change colors, don't finish your stitch completely. You will cut your yarn and leave a little bit of a tail to weave in later. Lay the new color over your hook, again leaving a tail, and pull through with the new yarn. Hope that helps!

[@aprilbender7860]

Can you tell me please how to increase with this stitch?

[@AmandaCrochets]

April Bender you will make a chain in a multiple of 3. Once you’re happy with your width you will make one final chain at the end to keep things in balance.
