Waterfalls in Stitches

The Waterfall Pattern is a pretty easy knitting stitch pattern with a lacy look made by yarn overs and decreases. The only thing that's a little tricky about this lovely pattern is that you don't always decrease in the same row you increase, so you'll need to make sure when you finish the six-row repeat that you have the same number of stitches you started with.

This pattern is nice looking on both sides, making it a good choice for a wrap, shawl or stole. And because it's relatively easy with a short pattern repeat, it's a great introduction to lacy knitting for those who haven't tried it before.
