The '''staircase''' is a chain pattern that is essentially a series of [[corner chain|corner chains]], which moves diagonally across the board. It is notable for is compactness in both dimensions.

Since successive corner chains are adjoined by their inner petal rather than the outer one, the last link in this formation needs bracing or it will be pushed away by the third-to-last link. In the example, the purple petal prevents the inner blue petal from being pushed by the red petals popping. Bracing can also be constructed using the [[sandwich]] which adds extra bulk to the chain. However, the pattern can be extended to any length as long as there is room, and only the last link needs bracing of this kind.
