Read MoreThe Sky Deck Cascading Vest Free Knitting Pattern is a wonderful beginner friendly pattern that can be made in any size to suit every style. The Sky Deck Cascading Vest Free Knitting Pattern was originally part of the 2019 Knitcrate Bonanza of Patterns and I am so excited to now be bringing it to you for free.
It features an incredibly soft DK yarn that was part of the 2019 September Knitcrate but you can use any DK you have on hand. Just be sure to block using wet blocking and I personally block this vest aggressively to get the most out of the drape and shape.
You can add a shawl pin to the front of The Sky Deck Cascading Vest to create a closed capelet look as well.
The Sky Deck Cascading Vest Free Knitting Pattern will give you a magnificent layer as the season change and is the knit sister to the Signal Cascading Vest Free Crochet Pattern.

The Sanctuary Revisited Crochet Shawl is a free crochet triangle shawl pattern worked from a center spine out in alternating half double crochet and open treble rows — delivering stunning textural contrast that crochets up faster than it looks. Sized two ways, the one-skein kerchief version wraps up quick while the full two-skein triangle gives you dramatic, room-commanding drape — both worked in Asylum Fibers DK on a 5mm hook with zero gauge stress. Born at Stitch Up Chicago and now living free right here on the blog, this is the shawl pattern your hook has been waiting for.
The Sanctuary Revisited Shawl was built for the way knitters actually live these days: cast on between meetings, knit through conversations, finish before the week is out or on the commute. Choose the one-skein version for a lightweight everyday wrap, or go full cozy with the two-skein size that drapes across your shoulders like it was always meant to be there.
Wrap yourself in the squishy loops of the cluster stitch with our newest free crochet pattern.
