Pattern Notes
In diagonal Waterfall crochet, every row is worked in single crochet and the chain spaces are offset by 1 stitch. The stitch name begins with a “d” to indicate that it is worked on a diagonal. The stitch can slant either down and to the left or down and to the right. The instructions are the same for both. To compensate for the diagonal, a stitch will be skipped and 1 of the chains in the chain space will be worked. Watch for them in the instructions.
Please refer to photos when working as needed.
Special Stitches
See Waterfall Crochet Appendix & Tips for more details on sts.
Waterfall single crochet (Wsc): This is worked the same as working a sc into the ch sp (see photo 1). The instructions will say Wsc over next st. The corresponding ch sps and st below are sk.
Note: The corresponding st below is the Wch1 (see A on photo 1) worked between the dW4st.
Diagonal Waterfall chain-1 (dWch1): This is worked the same as making a ch-1 sp (see photo 2). The instructions will say Wch1 over next st. The corresponding ch sps and st below are sk (see A on photo 2).
Note: In subsequent rows the corresponding st below will be a dWch1 or Wsc.
Diagonal Waterfall over 4 rows and into st (dW4st): (insert hook in next ch sp, yo, pull lp to front of work) 3 times (see photos 3 & 4),
insert hook in corresponding st, turn piece to view back of st,
Note: The st will be worked off the hook viewing the back of the st. This is because the yarn has been carried down the back of the work as lps have been added to the hook.
yo, pull lp through st (see photo 5),
(yo, pull lp through 2 lps on hook and ch sp) 3 times, turn to view RS of piece, pull last lp (see A on photos 6 & 7) on hook a little extra to compensate for the diagonal,
yo, pull through last 2 lps on hook (see photos 8 & 9).
Waterfall over 4 rows and into st (W4st): (insert hook in next ch sp, yo, pull lp to front of work) 3 times (see photo 10),
insert hook in corresponding st (see A on photo 10), turn piece to view back of st,
Note: The st will be worked off the hook viewing the back of the st. This is because the yarn has been carried down the back of the work as lps have been added to the hook.
yo, pull lp through st, (yo, pull lp through 2 lps on hook and ch sp) 3 times, turn to view RS of piece, yo, pull lp through last 2 lps on hook (see photo 11).
