About the Inspiration for the Sedge Stitch Square Pattern
The Sedge Stitch is one of my favorite stitches because it is so easy to make. And it has great texture.
I love it for baby blankets. You can see it in my Shades of Blue Baby Blanket and my Cuddly Cloud Preemie Baby Blanket.
So, it seemed like a perfect stitch to contribute to the 2022 Stitch Sampler Poncho Crochet Along. This event is running from July 4 through August 29, 2022. You can get more details on the Crochet Along below!
One you get the Sedge Stitch down, I hope you’ll love it as much as I do. It’s a great way to use some simple stitches to create a beautiful effect.
About the Yarn
The sample Sedge Stitch Square is made with WeCrochet/KnitPicks Brava Worsted in Hunter. Brava is one of my go-to worsted weight acrylic yarns.
Some of the things I love about Brava include that it is super soft – no scratchy acrylic here! And it comes in generous skeins.
It’s also super easy to crochet. The yarn does not split. And as a bonus it’s machine washable. So it’s a perfect choice for projects like blankets and clothing that will get a fair amount of wear.
With more than forty different colors, it’s also a versatile choice for lots of projects.

Pattern Notes
- Work the base chain loosely enough so the bottom edge lies flat (go up a hook size if needed to make the base chain loose).
- Beginning chains do not count as stitches.
- Placing markers on the edge stitches is recommended for counting rows and maintaining even edges. Move these markers up as you go along.
