Madeira Cascade Wrap

Designed by Nancy Lekx to mark A Needle Pulling Thread magazine’s 20th anniversary, the Madeira Cascade Scarf/Wrap showcases a 20-stitch by 20-row lace repeat rooted in the traditional Shetland “Madeira Cascade” pattern. Knitted in emerald green—a nod to the classic 20th anniversary gemstone—this elegant project offers both scarf and wrap options, with customizable sizing. Garter stitch borders and a stocking stitch body frame the flowing lace, making it ideal for intermediate knitters. Whether worn as a light wrap or styled as a scarf, this design beautifully combines heritage, symbolism, and craftsmanship.
