This happens because of the general rule concerning not only "-ed," but any suffix beginning with a vowel.
The rule states that if the consonant ends either a stressed syllable or a single syllable word, AND the consonant is preceded by a single vowel the final consonant is doubled.
Ex: "refer" becomes "referred," but "depart" remains "departed."
