I live on a small island in SE Alaska at the edge of the ocean and I watch the waves daily. The cables in this pattern remind me of the eddies in a tide pool, or the small waves at the very edge of the shore.

This is a moderately advanced pattern. Some knowledge of cabling is helpful.

Gauge is not important with this pattern.

One skein (210 yds) of Malabrigo Rios will make one beanie. You will need part of another skein if you want to make it slouchy.
