Spiked Sedge Stitch | How to Crochet

I LOVE the Spiked Sedge Stitch! When I came across it not too long ago I just knew it was one that I had to learn.

This is a fabulous stitch for many reasons! It features some wonderful texture and it is reversible making it a great stitch for so many projects!

I look forward to using this one in washcloths, beanies and blankets! I look forward to seeing how you use it in yours!

This stitch is worked similar to the Sedge Stitch except that your final double crochet stitch is worked as a spike stitch into the space two rows below.

Materials for this Tutorial:

For this tutorial today I will be using a small amount of Pima Cotton Yarn by Lion Brand Yarn. It is a worsted weight yarn. The hook shown in the video below is a 5 mm crochet hook.  However you may use any hook and yarn combination you choose.

The Spiked Sedge Stitch:

Abbreviations:

Ch – Chain

Dc – Double Crochet

Hdc – Half Double Crochet

Rpt – Repeat

Sc – Single Crochet

Sk – Skip

Sl St – Slip Stitch

Yo – Yarn Over

 

Notes:

This stitch is worked in rows in this tutorial.

To begin, make a slip knot and then chain your desired number of chains.  For this stitch pattern you will need a multiple of three stitches for your foundation chain plus two (multiples of 3+2).

Row One:

Sc in 2nd ch from your hook and each across.  Ch 1, turn.

Row Two:

[Sc, hdc, dc] in 1st st, *sk the next 2 sts, [sc, hdc, dc] in the next st.  Rpt from * across to final 3 sts, sk 2, sc in final st.  ch 1, turn

Row Three:

[Sc, hdc] in the first st, dc in the space below the first sc 2 rows below, *sk the next 2 sts, [sc, hdc] in the next st, dc in the sp below the sc 2 rows below; rpt from * to end and sc in final st, ch 1, turn.

And that’s it!

For the remainder of the pattern simply repeat row three.  Fasten off and weave in your ends.
