Binakol blankets are distinguished by their spherical patterns, which are created from gradated rectangles emanating from a central point. The term binakol/binakul/binakael itself translates to ‘made-spherical’ (Pastor-Roces, 1991, p. 77). However, there are variants of binakol that do not strictly resemble spheres but retain the defining element of graduated rectangles—rectangles that vary in size and orientation to form distinctive shapes. One such variant is the sinan-paddak ti pusa, or cat’s paw print design. This pattern begins with four small, cross-like boxes at the center, emphasized by elongated rectangles that frame the cross-shaped motif. Surrounding this are larger squares that echo the digital pads or outer paws of a cat.
