Winter Waves Crochet ALong | The Unraveled Mitten

Sedge Stitch Divider Panel

Today’s divider panel uses the sedge stitch. You might recognize it from last year’s CAL! This is a pretty easy stitch that has some great texture. This crochet stitch is made by crochet a single crochet and two double crochets in the same stitch, skipping a couple of stitches and doing it again. 

You will work this stitch in short rows of just 13 stitches. This makes it easy to modify the length based on your first panel. Just add more rows if you need it longer and fewer rows if you need it shorter. We are also going to single crochet around your entire panel to make it easier to join together and I think it gives it a more polished look.

Sedge Stitch Divider Panel #1 Pattern

Ch 14

Row 1: (sc, 2 dc) in 2nd ch from hook, skip 2 chs, *(sc, 2 dc) in next ch, skip 2 chs. Repeat from * across. Sc in last ch. Turn (13 sts)

Row 2: Ch 1, (sc, 2 dc) in same st as ch 1, skip 2 sts, *(sc, 2 dc) in next st, skip 2 sts. Repeat from * across. Sc in last st. Turn. (13 sts)

Repeat row 2 until piece is square. There are 95 rows or your panel is as long as your first square panel. Do not turn after last row. Continue to border.

Border

Ch 1, sc evenly around placing 3 sc in each corner stitch. Join to top of 1st sc with sl st. Finish off and weave in ends.

**TIP: When working down the raw edge I place 1 sc in one row end and then 2 in the next all the way across and it laid flat with no rippling.

You may block your panel if desired, I did not.

Joining

 We are whip stitching again with your MC. See this post for whip stitch instructions if needed.

A helper I discovered this time was: after you fold the divider panel on top of the square panel, place some safety pins along the edge to hold the two pieces together and keep them even.

  1. I would like to join the Facebook page. I submitted a request but haven’t heard back. I’m new to Facebook so not sure if I have to do something else to join.

    1. If you have not been able to join yet, I invite you. I’m not sure how that works but maybe that will help.

      1. Evidently I can’t send that invite because you are not on my friends list, but if you want to send me a message on Facebook, I can send it , or if you just type in the name of the group ( the unraveled mitten crochet group) it should take you to the page where you can ask to join.
