Nautical ropes, cat’s paw prints, and a central motif reminiscent of cat’s cradle. You see the paw prints, but not the cat. And, of course, waves along the outer edge of the knitted on border.

Advanced intermediate skill level. Lace and cables. You will need to keep track of where you are on three separate stitch patterns. This is not as difficult as it may seem. The cat’s paw and cable patterns are quite simple, and it is pretty obvious where you are. The diamond pattern is numbered according to row numbers. The pattern includes charts and row-by-row instructions.

Fingering or light fingering weight yarn. About 620-750 yds, depending on yarn weight and border choice.

US size 5 needles.
