In this step-by-step crochet tutorial I show how to make the sedge stitch. The sedge crochet stitch consists of single, half double and double crochets and it is a repeat of one row. This stitch is reversible and it looks the same on both sides. It is suitable for beginners.
For this tutorial I use Järbo 8/4 100% Cotton Mercerized & Gassed 50 g yarn, color: 32032 (frosty green), and a 2.0 mm hook.
