A round ring, a horizontal crossbar and curled hooks — this little anchor has everything a real one does, plus a lovely blue gradient that gives it depth, almost like a brushed-metal finish. Follow the grid from top to bottom: the ring first, then the crossbar, the central shaft with its little wrap of brown rope, and finally the two flukes curving outward.

Lea’s tip: for a nice sense of volume, keep the light beads on one side and the dark ones on the other, exactly as shown on the grid — that contrast is what gives the pattern its charm. Once ironed, this anchor makes a sweet keychain for sea lovers, or hangs as a little decoration in a nautical-themed room.
