Inspired by the sailor Klimenty Nagorny (1887-1918). Every turning row reflects the turn of the tide, ebbing & flowing in perpetuum. Like gentle waves on mild seas, each stitch motif crests and falls into the next, anchored steadfastly far below. Clement weather, smooth sailing. Crochet with a small side of history.

• Gauge is not important; adjust the beginning chain count according to your chosen yarn, hook, and desired size.
• U.S. crochet terminology
• Any colorway can be used, but self-striping looks great with this pattern.
• Stitch adapted from a tutorial by Bag-O-Day Crochet; I recommend her channel!
