MM Cascading colours 98309

Has anyone done this pattern? It's worked like a triangle but I get to row 69 the left side goes vertical the right side continues on as a triangle pattern.

I believe it's supposed to.  It's a corner-to corner pattern, but it's not square (where you increase at each end for a distance, then decrease at each end until you reach the farthest point from the start).   It's a rectangle--at the beginning it will be a 90° triangle, but to become a rectangle, one side has to stop getting wider, and form a straight side (opposite side from the starting point).  The starting corner side will keep 'acting' like a triangle until you reach the top, then you will start decreasing on that side to square it off.

Thank you. I will go back and follow the pattern. I kept thinking it was a square but I couldnt see how it would get there with that left side going straight up and the right side stil going triangle. I found the decrease rows and it just didn't look right.

Good luck!  I could tell by the photo it wasn't square, also the 'specs' say it's 45" x 58".

I would suggest that you watch Mikey's Vid on the C2C afghan.  He explains it so well!

Thanks. It appears to be taking the correct shape. I will keep going and hopefully it will work out.

I finished it. I watched the YouTube vids and followed the pattern exactly. There is something wrong with this pattern. I got 3 perfect points of a rectangle. The last corner looked like stairs. I ended up starting a second pattern and carefully attached rows 1 - 5 to my original blanket. I also have a smaller throw than the pattern states but my tension is fairly tight. Thanks to those that posted responses.

congratulations. 

 

I always find that I have to watch and count very carefully with the c2c.  I've done a few and I still have to watch.
