Cascade
Crochet Pattern
Intermediate Skill Level
Designed by Jessie Rayot
Cascade is the last pattern in the falling blocks collection, and the only one that can be found free on my blog. It is a wrap made in a wedge shape, which happens to be one of my favorite shapes to make. I just love the asymmetry of it! This pattern can be a bit challenging to start, but once you get the hang of it you will plow right along!
