A smiling red octopus holding on to a blue ship's anchor. The anchor is seen from the front and fills the picture: a ring at the top, a stock across under it with a knob at each end, a straight shank, and two arms that curve up from the crown to pointed flukes. The octopus sits against the shank just under the stock. It has a round head with two dark eyes, a white glint in each, and a small smile, and eight arms, four on each side: two pairs are lifted, one pair hangs down and curls at the ends, and the inner pair run down either side of the shank and close over it.

The fabric color changes the preview only: every cross matches your chart.
