When the verb ends inconsonant + vowel +consonant, you have to double the last consonant and then add "ed" to make the Past Simple.
If you have a verb with more than one syllable, you only double the consonant if the last syllable is stressed.
In British English the final "l" is doubled, even if the last syllable is not stressed.
If the last letter is "x", you do not double it (because an "x" is in fact two consonant "ks".
If the last letter is "c", you write "ck" instead of "cc".
